Ugh looks like I am having the same supply issues I did last time I tried everything last time and nothing worked to increase my supply, looks like I will have to try and mix feed if I can express enough, is always massive issue getting any out we were off to such a good start too. Couldnt get her to settle all day after hours on the boob a supplemental feed and she is sound asleep. Sigh
Hugs, have you tried medication to bring more milk in?
Yep tried that last time it did increase it but only foremilk production and made me very sick (you have to take large quantities), Spoke with a MCHN and she said in all likelyhood I don't make enough of the hormone to make enough milk. Good news is that Emily is happy just to eat, so I can mix feed, something I couldn't do with Lilly due to her reflux and her tummy being so sensitive. So She gets BM for her day feeds and formula in the evenings. :)
So glad its worked out :D
LOL I spoke too soon, Ended up yesturday with a massive Mastitis infection. One step out of hospital it hit me that hard and fast. SO no more breastfeeding for me. My boob is so swollen that it is twice the size of the other and agony to feed with. Emily also can't even attach to it. It is red 3/4 of the way around. I was sooo sick yesturday, chills, fever vomiting the works. I'm on Abs atm and neurofen and panadol around the clock and that is the only thing making me feel sort of human. I'm braving the pump every few hours just so I dont get a cyst but it is so swollen I barely get anything. The ABs make Emily a bit unwell so can't give her what I manage to express either.
Blegh Breast feeding hates me seriously. Next one if we have one is going straight on the botte I think. Sigh
Delayed response here - Hope your boobs are feeling better.
I cant believe Levi is 16 months old now :(
I know! Lilly 17 months next week. Yes better but damaged will take awhile for the skin to heal.
