Hi ladies!
Hope you and your LOs are all well
How do I build up my milk supply? I've not been satisfying Evie since I started expressing and I made a big mistake by giving in to a bottle of formula the other night, the next night I gave another bottle and the next night I gave another So she's had 3 bottles over 3 days and OMG she was sooooo satisfied afterwards and GULPED it down.
I really wanted to avoid this, but I was at the end of my tether and feeling down about my sore nipples etc - Oh, and not to forget a screaming, hungry baby
Anyway, she's getting her tongue tie cut tomorrow so hopefully in a few days when my nipples have healed we'll be able to start afresh with the breastfeeding.
In the meantime, I think my supply is decreasing A) because of the formula I've been giving and B) because I'm expressing and not getting as much from my boobs as Evie would if she fed directly from them...
HELP!! Thanks ladies xx
