No not yet, my LC said just to pump & feed every 3hrs. Been doing that & my milk started coming through yesterday & today it's really come through so i can express upto 50ml now.
Dakota gained 100 grams at her weigh which is great news, but i'm thinking the weight gain is from comp formula feeds i had to give her.
So i guess i'll find out now she wont need formula anymore.
Trinity - glad to hear she has put on 100grams - my dd has to also have an extra weigh in due to low weight gain. I have terribly cracked and bleeding nipples, and have also got nipple thrush which is extremely painful. I have been dreading feeds and also had to comp formula. Things are slowly getting better, so much for the 2nd on being easier to bf!
Storm - my dd loves having a wakeful period at 5am every morn!
PM-I really feel for you, hope they heal up quickly for you. I can understand dreading feeding time.
Things are going much better here feeding wise, Kodi is pooing & weeing regularly now, She's also waking herself up for feeds & when she is awake she's nice & settled. I've been told by my LC that these are all really good signs she's getting plenty of milk. So that makes me much happier.
Storm hope you & Noah are well. Noah is such a Cutie love the FB pics.
Hi girls
I wanna join this group too, even though she was born the 11th, i didnt even know it was here till Trinity mentioned it in the pregnancy thread, it does seem very quiet in here!
I never knew breastfeeding would be so hard, i have found it must tougher than i thought, i always worry whether she is getting enough, some times she just wants to be on there all the time!!!!
My little girl is three weeks old today she has put on 220 grams this week so she must be getting something, we both have thrush, poor little thing hates the Nilstat, she makes the funniest face when she has to have it. Hope it is gone soon for both of us
She slept last night from 11 till five, i was so grateful for the sleep, hope it continues
