I thought I was prepared (only 8 days into it now so who knows what is to come), but wasn't mentally prepared for a surgical delivery or the after affects. Bubs was in special care for the first 3 days so we really struggled - no attachment issues, but my milk came in late and I physically found it exhausting having to go to special care for every feed, we also had to express for the first couple of days then comp feed because he was a big baby and was getting so hungry. Once my milk came in it became much better. He was up to 5 hourly feeds yesterday (I had to wake him for feeds) but today has been grizzly 1/2 hour feeding. The mws at the hospital were fantastic and incredibly supportive but I did get a little bit of conflicting info, mostly to do with changing over to the other breast on each feed. Some say do 20 minutes or thereabouts on each side, others say put them back on the first side after a burp so they can really drain the hindmilk and then offer them the second side.
