My baby boy Christopher was born at 31+2 after I developed severe pre-eclampsia, I was so poorly that they had to give me magnesium sulfite before giving me an emergency c-section. After the birth my blood showed that my platelets had gone down to about 40.
Baby is doing fine now and he's being tube fed. I am pumping every hour and a half, taking fenugreek, mother's tea, eating and drinking quite a bit and having loads of skin to skin but the most I can get out of an expression is about 30 ml and that's on a really good day, sometimes I get 20 others 10... I'm at the end of my wit's and they had to start supplementing with formula. Anyone has any tips on how I could possibly increase my milk supply? I was really hoping to breastfeed as he is my first child
