I'm Back
I just had my second bio child and like her sister, she won't latch properly. After a week of nursing, my nipples had huge gaping wounds. We had her lip tie clipped and I started using a nipple shield so I could heal but it interfered with her milk transfer. She stopped gaining weight so I had to start pumping and supplementing with formula. My last baby I had so much milk I was able to build a huge freezer stash. This time I'm struggling. I'm not making enough to keep up with her feeds despite pumping every 2-3 hours around the clock for 4 days straight. So disappointing as I really didn't want to EP again, but here I am.

Welcome back! Congratulations on the new baby! I am due with my second in a month and I have a feeling I will be right back to pumping... I am hoping for a latch but I also know how to pump and pump successfully
