I'm glad everyone is going well. I had a bit of a shock today.....after expressing for a week or so (and not every day either , but sometimes 3 times a day) I put my hungry man on the boob this morning and he stayed on it for 15 minutes and then spewed out the nipple in disgust....why you might ask??????? I have no milk!!!!!! Funny that, last night I expressed for the third time late at night ( a good 2 hours in between expressing) and I only got 20 ml per boob. The most I ever expressed was 100 ml between two boobies, and that was only 3 or 4 days ago.....my appetite still hasn't come back, maybe that's why the milk has dried up? Will it come back??????? I don't want my milk to go away! Addmittedly, I feed Cam formula mostly, but try to give him a bottle of EBM per day...
Once again I haven't been on in a few days and have way too much to catch up on!
Happy Easter to everyone first of all!
Hope those of you having baby troubles are sorting them out. Indy grizzled for an hour last night, did a massive poo, had another feed then went back to sleep Dad's been down this weekend, unfortunately with his wife, sigh... I think Dad got to cuddle Indy for two minutes, then she grabbed him and pretty much didn't give him back til they left hours later! My cousin has a 9-month old and said she does exactly the same with their baby, always has to be the centre of attention cuddling the baby. Thank God Dad's usually here by himself when he's in Melbourne for work, he might actually get a decent cuddle next time. Also referred to her as grandma at one point, not going to happen sorry Dad. She ain't Indy's grandma!
Anyway, going to attempt a nap while Indy's having daddy cuddles.
beata - there is a couple of things u can do to get your supply up. u can go to your gp and get either motilium or maxalon and take that, go to the chemist and get fenugreek or blessed thistle, or make some lactation cookies. there is a recipe on here under breastfeeding. the cookies are really fattening but sooooooooooooooo yummy!!! i made a batch of them and froze the rest of the mixture. i ended up with four batches and only half way thru!! it certainly has increased my supply (plus my waistline a bit too lol)
