Well firstly had the lactation consultant here. She confirmed that my supply is too low for baby. In the morning shes getting enough (90 to 100mls a feed) from the breast but in the arvo my supply drops to 50ml - 60mls per feed even with switch feeding which brings milk on (thats 15mins on each breast then 5mins on each breast). She says its normal for supply to drop in the afternoon/night. So I am now going to top her up twice a day once at lunch with 60ml after b/f and last feed of the day after b/f and hopefully she will gain some weight as she is still the same weight as last week
Saw my GP re the vomiting of brown and other blood she said it would be from my nipples and the excema I have around my nipples, so hopefully the top ups will help so my boobs get a bit of a break and I need to put cream on them after every feed. Also Julia's skin is loose not a good sign she needs to put on the weight ...
Im so tired now. Thanks for your messages girls will come back when I feel better.
