Tried to attach DD2 for three weeks, didn't work. Was expressing. Exhausted. Reluctantly gave up and went to formula.
Tried to attach her just for the hell of it at 9 weeks. Easy. But milk had dried up obviously. Relactated by expressing, attaching every hour and taking Motilium. Went from not getting a single drop of milk to getting a very small supply back. Then started using a supply line.
Loved it - used that until DD2 was five months old. What I loved? Most of all, that DD2 was feeding at my breast. That I knew that she was getting 'enough'. No need to express inbetween feeds though I think I did a bit of that too.
