I had supply issues with my milk, as did my mum. I would have tried to increase the supply but felt I was being bullied by the nurses at CYH who told me Dylan was feeding well but was just "difficult" when actually they had weighted him incorrectly and he was losing weight! By the time this was discovered by a Paed, it was too late to build my supply back up so he was weaned at 8 weeks. I felt awful that this happened and was then very cross when the same nurse scoffed that "of course a paed won't support breastfeeding" when it had been HER mistake in the first place that caused my son to be starving!
Next time I will listen to my own instincts instead.
