so we saw the doc yesterday, mr c has lost 200g in just over a week. he's put me on maxalon to try and up my milk cos even after mr c hadnt fed for 4 hrs on wednesday night i could only express 30mls per boobie. i havnt been able to express that much since either even tho ive had him on the boob almost constantly during the day thursday and DS has been grizzling almost constantly. i resorted to buying a tin of formula and gave him a top up and he drank 75mls straight after both boobies and then slept for 2.5hrs straight, unheard of during the day for him and he didnt even want his dummy makes me feel worse about it being so long before i talked to the doc about it.
so far he has had 3 formula top ups, the last one he had 120mls plus 2 boobies so i dont think he is getting much, if anything from me. how long should it take for the drugs to work if they are going to work?
also would getting sick effect my milk? cos DF is sick as a dog and as of wednesday i am getting it as well. i think DS is as well, one of the 1st signs was a snotty nose and hes got a snotty nose.
