Hi all I too have just found this thread
For those who know me from the bely buddies thread Hi and Hi to all the new additions to the thread and the babies.
We welcomed our second son Nikolai Johann into the world on the 13/12/2011 at 7.31am weighing 8 pound 3 ounces ( big jump from his brother 6 pound 13), we arrived the night before for me to be induced only to find out I was already 5cms but labour stalled half way through so my waters were broken than i started going back wards so agreed to the syncto drip but it was only on for 1.5 hours at a low rate before he arrived so we think it didnt really do much, due to his cleft lip and palate we started amazing the people in hospital as he managed to latch than he continued to breast feed but when my milk came in it was a lot harder as he couldnt mould my bb as they were too full, so i started expressing as i wanted Niko to have breast milk, but when we arrived home my milk decided to cut down and after a lot of stress and expressing every 2 hours to try to bring it back up we started mix feeding with formula which was very hard for me as i felt I had failed my little man, as i BF my older son to 20 months, but we are having a lot of trouble with my milk even after i was put on Dom peridone so we are taking it every day as it comes some days he has full formula bottles and some he has half formula and half breast milk but i will keep going as long as I can, and I agree a lot of people have a opinion on you if you formula feed, and they dont tend to find out the facts first
