Hello ladies.
I'm currently sat pumping nothing seems to want to come out my left tit!
I'm having a little trouble establishing this whole bf lark. After agony, scabby nipples, nipple shields, expressing and giving a bit of formula to get a little rest I went exclusive again about 3 days ago. I've midwives out to see me loads as I need the support with feeding. Babies weight went down 4% first visit, nothing worrying in that. The next 2 visits his weight did start increasing (but still didn't reach his birth weight). However I was topping him up with formula around that time. Then on Friday his weight had dropped by 6% of his total birth weight. They are now telling me to start topping him up with formula again! Something I really don't want to do! I feel like haven't gone through all this pain and suffering just to give him sodding formula! So now I'm pumping after every feed to top him up and it means feeding is what I'm doing 24/7!
Moan over, my little man is a dream just wish I had more time for my other son but we'll get there in the end.
How are you all?
