Oh and MadB, dr thinks bub is just too weak now to suck properly. It took her a while to get her latch right plus she was a very sleepy baby & a very easy going one, she won't really cry for food, she will just fuss for a minute or two. So it all contributed to a lack of supply. So we are now pumping to increase as well as a script for tablets to increase supply. I will ask the lactation consultant tomorrow for a chat, she is the one who is a clinic nurse who might have a pump I could borrow. Fingers crossed!
I see! It is a really good idea to get her looked at by an LC. Was she prem? Jaundiced? Any other health issues? How often is she feeding? What is her poo output like? Has she been assessed for tongue or lip tie, problems with her palate?
You can also call the ABA helpline to have a chat with a counsellor - 1800-686-268
It's great that you're getting the milk into her! Good work.
