lulu am sorry to hear you had a teary day yesterday...however I am glad you shared because I have been feeling the same and it is nice to know I'm not the only one...
We went to the child health nurse today to get weighed in and DS is still not past his birth weight. He did lose more than 10% after the birth and he is now just 45grams away from getting back to the birth weight. So feeling a bit inadequate that maybe I am not giving him enough? The nurse suggested I feed him from both sides every time and express afterwards to increase my supply. He is still feeding every 2-3 hours and has plenty of wet nappies. It is just so frustrating. He goes back in a week to get weighed again and if he hasn't put on 150grams then the nurse is going to refer me to a lactation consultant.
