Kelly, you know most of this about my circumstances, but it was me who knew there was no milk - you feed a baby 12 times a day and she is still starving gives you an idea that there is no milk. You go for a whole day of not BF and not have your breasts fill up and get nothing when trying to express at the end of that day - that tells you there is no milk. Having a PPH and never having enough milk to start with compounded by a struggling tired body trying to produce blood and milk. Out of 3 children I think there was only one who could have been a BF success - and that was a failure due mostly to lack of education, lack of support and lack of access to LC's.
ETA - Kelly, would this be handy for your submission? Sherie's parenting de-brief - it's my BF journey for the three kids.
