It seems like some of us have had a rough start.
After ending up with a 3rd degree tear with a 1.5 hr labour from woah to go, I had to go into theatre to be sewn up. So I missed out on that first hour of bonding and feeding and then my milk didn't come in till day 6, which is quite late!
We have had trouble BF and I went and saw a lactation consultant which was the best decision I could have made! She lost 300 g in 3 days!
Found out she was tongue tied and she was starving. Then took her the same day to get it snipped.
Instant relief for DD and she latched right on.
So at the moment we are BF and expressing for 2 feeds a day so we can see the exact amount she is getting.
In 4 days she put on 150g so I'm jumping for joy.
I am worried though as my BB's went from rock hard and leaking for 3 days to hardly feeling full? So I'm of to the LC again and drinking RLT and fenugreek. Bit yucky but ill try anything.
