Omg I hope this is really it!!!! I hopefully will be holding my little girl in the morning! Thank god I had a 2 hr nap this arvo!
Hi mums!
We've had a terrible last 24 hrs with BF. Claire is still not wanting to attach at all on the left side and would attach at times on the right for a meagre 10 secs then start turning her head again. We didn't get much sleep at all for the last 2 days as I was getting so stressed about BF. Then this morning I had a huge scare coz I could only get 40 ml out of the 2 breasts with the breast pump when I used to be able to get 80ml min! Then the next time I tried the breast pump wouldn't even work and I had to hand express for an hour to get 50 ml. My breasts have also gone all floppy and don't feel full ever. Called the MCN helpline and they asked me to call the hospital. Called the hospital and they've arranged for me to go in for a lactation clinic tmr (usually a 3 wk waiting period). I've also got in touch with a LC that my friend recommended in my area who will follow up with me after the clinic. Clinic runs from 8.30-2.30 tmr. Have been force feeding myself (haven't been eating much in the last 2 days as I was getting stressed) today and don't know if that's why this afternoon I managed to pump 100ml from both breasts. I've had to supplement with formula once so far as there just isn't enough for her to drink and she's crying and wouldn't sleep coz she's hungry.
Hoping that we can sort out some issues tmr at the clinic. I just can't understand what I'm doing wrong...
