Ren, just wanted to pop in here and say I think you are doing a marvellous job! Janie and the girls have given fantastic advice.

Keep up the great effort you are putting in. I know from my experience, there were times when it all seemed so fruitless and I was ready to chuck it in, but I stuck with it and we are now here back to fully breastfeeding, no top ups needed.

You sound like you will get back to exclusive b/f very very soon, more quickly than I did because you're on top of the game early on.

With the expressing, if it is stressing you out too much, have a break from it. I was really bad at expressing and it wasn't doing much for my supply and as soon as I stopped things improved! The Fenugreek is great for your supply and let down. I take 2 capsules 3 times a day. I agree with Janie on the Motillium so get that if you feel you need more.

As soon as Ava starts comfort sucking take her off and switch sides. If she starts to comfort suck again, take her off and switch sides again. Don't let her slack off It will encourage her to suck strongly at feeds which means she will be drawing more milk from you which in turn will boost your supply.

Hope it all goes well with the LC. Keep us updated!
