Your bubba sounds gorgeous .

My MCHN also suggested that regime (once things got really desperate for us), and it totally stuffed things up for us. Once I spent a few days just having DS on the boob almost all the time, things improved alot. So I would second what the ABA counsellor suggested to you, just lots and lots of feeding. TBH, I think that is more important ATM than top up feeds (JMO), because they can be detrimental to your supply. If your DD got to a stage of losing weight, less output, and being very unsettled after feeds, then top ups might well be required, but I think in your case that extra feeding will really, really help. Maybe for the next little bit you could make sure she doesn't go longer than 3 hours between feeds? And of course feed her as often as she wants!

I know it's very hard to trust your body when you've had a scare like this - but you can, you really can. You body is making oodles and oodles of milk Taurean . That is so fantastic! Trust your body that it can nourish your baby, remember that it grew her for 10 months . I know top ups make us feel more relaxed in the short term, but they really are a PITA. When you can breastfeed successfully without them, you will find such pleasure and relaxation in feeding your daughter. Remember that babies are designed to feed frequently, sometimes 2 hourly around the clock! Yes, it's tiring, but it's what they need, it's how they survive. I hope that once you see some good weight gain, you will be able to relax into trusting your body and breasts to do their thing. I really believe you can do it!!!

Good luck today, and please let us know how it goes . I feel positive that you will see some good results for your hard work, but please don't expect too much of yourself, or your DD. It's only been a few days, and sometimes it takes longer than that to see that things are improving. Often it's good to look at the bigger picture with babies weight gains - don't forget that .
