I lost 800ml of blood after birth.

Bubs is 2 days old now and is really trying my determination to keep bfeeding.

She's been up since 1am last night and is feeding all the time - I can tell when she's not getting anything because she starts chomping down on me - and that's when I take her off because it's so painful. Then 10 minutes later she will want another feed. So I'm pretty exhausted (not to mention teary) at the moment.

How long until my milk comes in? Her attachment is pretty good, it just changes when the colostrum has gone. Is there anything I can do to help it come in quicker? I'm on liquid iron supplements and also my friend made a batch of lactation biscuits for me.

Any advice? The thought of giving her a bottle to make her stop crying for food has already crossed my mind this morning, and I wanted to succeed just once at this breastfeeding gig.
