10 years ago I had a boob job.
With every child I've had there has been fb anxieties and I've ended up topping up and then giving up.
My 4 th child is 2 weeks old.
I thought I would eliminate any worries by asking my midwife for do peri done (had googled it and thought it sounded the a water to my worries) she did, I took it and my supply was great.
Baby gained 120g in two days. And all her birth weight back.
(There was no evidence that there was anything wrong with my supply before this, but it just felt that there must be)
Anyway, in a nutshell, it gave. Me stomach cramps and stinky farts!
It also seemed to give the baby the same trouble. She screamed in the night and only settled when she'd released wind.
I asked the midwife if I could just stop and she said I could.
The day after I chucked them, I got mastitis.
I have started taking fenugreek, not sure if it's made a differnce in supply.
The midwife weighed her and found she'd only put 40g on in. Nearly a week. She came back today (2 days later) and she'd put nothing on since then?!
I don't understand at all. She seems quite alert, and she wees and poos regularly (3 poos today)
Midwife and husband, and mother are all starting to suggest ff. I feel like they're closing in on me!
I'm really stressed by this. Of I have to ff feed her, I will feel such a fucking failure.
I really wanted it to work this time. I love feeding her :(
