Marydean, Kelly and Barb - thanks for your advice. I am considering joining the ABA so will look into buying some of the things suggested.

Jessica is one week old tomorrow and we are having some challenges. When she was born she fed for about 3 hrs on and off and had good attachment. The paed suggested comp feeding her from day 2 and I questioned if that would affect bf and he said that it was better than having a hungry baby. On day 3 a midwife said that I wasn't doing it correctly as the areola wasn't going in her mouth (I have big nipples) so I was angry that it wasn't working and I gave it up. On day 5, a lovely midwife had a talk with me and said she wasn't there to talk me into it but would provide support. So that night I gave baby a bf which worked and started expressing in hospital. I also had a talk with a lactation consultant which was great. Her suggestion was bf then offer EBM, if hungry BF then offer 30ml formula.

We are now at home and baby has been having some great feeds but they do last over an hour which is fine but the advice was to feed 20mins of good sucking on each side. I am waiting on the lactation consultant to phone me back as I have also contacted her again for advice.
The last few feeds she has been fussing and not wanting to feed so I have resorted to giving her forumula. I know this is counter productive but she is very content. She only feeds about 4-5 hrs when she has had formula. I bought a Medela electric pump yesterday for $300 so I am in this for the long haul but I am only expressing about 10ml each time. When she won't feed on the breast I try for about an hour before giving formula. This morning she had a good feed but that is the only one recently that went well. I am concerned about my supply and am taking Fenugreek - not sure if that has changed the taste of my milk?

Any advice would be appreciated.
