Thought I woudl drop by now that I can write about it without getting upset. Unfortunatley it didnt work out. During that week when I got my supply going she was screaming after every feed. Her Colic got worse. Then she was constantly hungry after she drained both breasts again. So I went to just pumping and giving EBM instead. No go, still sreaming after each feed and not satisfied, constant stomach issues screaming fits etc. Pead dismissed/didnt think anything of it, as did CHN. Both just said to persiste with BF. After advice from a friend, tried her for 24 hours on formula only and then reintroduced the EBM to see if something about the BM was causing it. During the 24hours her symptoms all but went away and as soon as I reintroducted EBM, the screaming started again. I'm gutted, but for her happyness have put her on full formula. I can't keep hurting her and noone in the medical profession I've spoken to can help me or cares. I still didnt have enough supply to feed her full time anyway by this stage, and I was on the max dose of Motilium which started to make me sick so had to stop.
I really hate my breasts right now and what we have been through, I know I tried my hardest but it still hurts that a part of me is broken. The difference now with my baby is like night and day. No more screaming fits, difficulting toileting or colic, it all dissapeared. I dont know what the issue was but she made the decision for me.
Thanks for your help and support guys. Appreciate it.
