My daughter been sleepy since birth, so getting her to latch on and eat has been rather difficult. But my milk hasn't came in just yet, so I've been pumping every 3hrs to get things started. The most I've gotten was 4mL, then the next two times were a few drops. I'm not going to give up this time. I'm going to breastfeed, even if that means to pump and bottle feed her, I will.
So I've been drinking a ton of water since I was brought up to my room and I've been pumping every 2 hours but I'm not pumping anything. Feeling really discouraged. The nursery isn't giving babygirl any formula as they have her hooked up to an IV but Im already feeling like a failure :(
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
So I got sent home yesterday due to no changes so now what? I've been bouncing on a excise ball for 2 hours. I'm gonna go for a walk around the block twice. I ate a whole pineapple today. So now I'm thinking of more ways to get labor started. I'm gonna try the breast pump. I've read online nipple stimulation brings on contractions so we'll try that.
Officially one day late... I've just realized that I'm one day late for my period. I've been so busy with my son going to kindergarten and preparing him for t-ball, and getting my daughters speech therapy and preschool in order that I forgot my period was due this week.
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.

My daughter didn't latch much at night bet when she woke up she ate forever. I just half way through swapped sides to help elevate encouragement.

Few things:
- you don't need to resort to a bottle right away. You can add your milk to syringes and supplement her this way so she doesn't get nipple confusion. If you need more help with this, I can elaborate.
- I wouldn't recommend pumping until 1m PP. It can mess with your supply and lead to clogged ducts/infections. If she isn't feeding and you do end up engorged its fine to pump some.
- if you're able to wear her in a wrap or sling with an open shirt, she may be able to root at your breast when she wants. Same for laying in bed skin to skin.
Breastfeeding was a struggle for us at first. My son was sooo weak and sleepy and latching made him more tired. I supplemented via syringe for about 2 weeks until he got stronger.
