Hello again ladies,
Sorry for another post on this- does mastitis affect milk supply? Molly has seemed to be feeding for a long time at each feed today without seeming satisfied, has not pooed (first time since she was born), and had a dry nappy when we got her up first thing she has has had a normal amount of wet nappies today, but not quite as full as usual, if you know what I mean? I gave her a bottle of expressed milk at bed time, and she wolfed down 8oz, as if she was starving. I have been offering the bad boob first at every feed, and then the other one, although she usually gets enough from one boob at each feed. I tried to express from the bad boob earlier, and got half an ounce, and I usually get 8! I have been really rough- my temperature has been 102, and I haven't been able to face food, but I have been making sure I have been drinking as much water as I can, and orange juice to give me some calories. I am really worried that my supply is right down, and that it won't come back. We will have made 6months next Thursday, and I'll be gutted if this has spoiled things for us. I have a fair bit of frozen milk, but I wanted to carry on a bit longer.
