Hello

I have just had my baby 10 days ago & have been having many, many issues with breast feeding - at the moment I am expressing & topping baby up with formula as per the opinion of lactation consultants & child health nurse but i dont see this as a practical long term solution.

One problem Im having is that my supply is not increasing, in fact my left breast will only produce about 20ml while my right will only produce 50ml - this is every four hours... apparently it should be much more...

Any suggestions on how to get them both going the same? And producing more? Does anyone else have this problem?? I have a referral for the doctor to put me on medication - is this the only way? Will i be expressing forever?

Its driving me crazy trying to express & feed baby & recover & the pressure to exclusively breastfeed is INSANE!!

Any help would be appreciated...
