Hi all,
DC2 born earlier today but hasn't been the best start for either of us. She's in SCBU getting a bit of help with breathing, and I'm recovering from removal of retained placenta. We had very brief skin to skin, and the midwife has helped me to try and hand express - but it's not really happening yet and not yet sure when I'll get to see her.
BF DC1 for over a year with no issues, though it was a while ago, so want to give us the best possible chance this time.
I'll have another go at hand expressing, but is there anything else I should be doing, and at what point does it become an issue?
She's just had sugar water so far and hospital massively supportive of BF. Is it just a case of waiting?
