Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well. Kalina I'm sorry to hear that, how disappointing. Have you spoken to a mw or lc about it?
AFM it seems our big problem was that my milk hadn't come in yet. I thought it had but it was just a bigger supply of colostrum. I can feel it coming in now, boobs get hard and sore but it's still colostrum at the beginning of the session. We're on a routine of feeding 3 hourly starting with breast then expressed milk followed by formula. It's exhausting! DH banished me to the bed last night and said I wasn't allowed to get up for at least 6 hours lol. I cried when I closed the door and was asleep within 1 min. I've been having microsleeps which is really dangerous when I'm standing and holding the baby as my whole body lurches forward. The midwife has ordered DH to make sure I sleep. It breaks my heart skipping the breast part of the feeding schedule though. I really hope my milk supply increases quickly, I'm taking a large dose of my placenta pills which really seems to be helping.
