so im at tmc getting ready to be discharged soon I have tried to ask for things to take home and two of the main things I need the most are formula because I was originally was supposed to breastfeed but I dont make enough for her yet so I have to pump to get wat I can and mix it together. and my baby dose not latch on just yet. so I have no formula at home because we did not plan for that because I was told in the beginning my milk had come in but they wont give me much formula. and the other thing I need is dermoplast I have to use my can before I pee and after because of how much pain im in and im almost out and they wont give me any what do I do? we dont have the money for this and the nurse wont give anything I need even for wat I need right now
ask every person that comes in ask the doctor when they come whoever comes in just ask
If you are having problems with the latch, request a nipple shield. There is no possible way you can tell this early that you don't make enough milk for the baby, it takes 6 weeks for your supply to be established. The nipple shield saved me both times when I had a latch problem.
@emily18234, I do have the the nipple shield but she dose not latch. we got some formula not much and someone elses nurse came in and we asked her for stuff and she got them for us thank god
