Gemma, hugs hun, I can really relate to what you're going through.

From experience, I would say that if you can, hold off on comp feeding her. Unless of course she is not having enough wet and dirty nappies and not gaining enough weight. If she does need to be comp fed, it needn't mean the end of BFing for you. My DS has been comp fed from birth, and we are still going at 5 months! I am so pleased that we're still BFing, but using bottles regularly creates a whole new world of problems. In our case it has ended up being really necessary, but it would have been better to exclusively BF!

4-5 hours is way too long to go between feeds if you are BFing, bub needs to be feeding probably every 2-3 hours, sometimes more often. Try to fit in AT LEAST 8 feeds in 24 hours. Keep up with the expressing, and don't stress about the amount. Really make a concious effort to relax when expressing, do it while watching her sleep, or look at a photo of her. Gently massage your breast at the same time. Make sure you keep up your water intake, as alot of people find this makes a big difference. I take Fenugreek (amongst a million other things!) and I haven't noticed a problem. Has anyone discussed taking Motilium with you? No one did with me until I asked about it, and by then Nicky was 10 weeks old. Apparently it works alot better if you start it within the baby's first four weeks. I would definietly discuss it with your LC or MCHN and see what they think. Your OB, GP or Paed can prescribe it for you. If you want any more info on it let me know

I really have to dash, and can't think of anything else ATM........just remember that we're all here to help and support you. There are a number of girls on BB with supply problems and they have been such wonderful support for me!

Good luck hun.
