Just out of curiosity, could they do the line feed thing in sitations like this? Where they have a tiny tube thats taped to your breast so that babies are still getting milk, but think its breastfeeding? Not only would it help your milk come in but it still means they are getting something iykwim? I just know if it were me in that situaiton even if I had to have formula top ups I'd want to try and establish bf'ing at a later date if I could?

We did line feeding with Paris when my milk started to diminish due to being told to formula feed by a paed (wrong decision but I didn't know any better at the time!) it would have helped was it not too late, unfortunately as Paris was older and we had been trying to establish feeding for a month or so (after her feeding fine for a month) she was quite pshychologically affected and couldn't be held in the nursing position wihtout her screaming Which was awful for me. The saddest day was when our LC told us she thought it was best for Paris that we stop trying. I continued Expressing as long as I could and I certainly don't regret anything as she needed to feed But I just know if I had supply issues early on, I would want to have the opportunity to exhaust all avenues iykwim? Especially now knowing how wonderful it is to continue BF'ing as I have done with Seth. And also as I have PCOS I have been VERY close to GD, so I'm hoping I won't have it in a future pregnancy but I can't rule it out. So it would be good to know my options if that were the case.
