My dsis recommended this site.
I had my DS by emergency C section, 5 weeks early. He did not have the suckling instinct at first, and I later found out he has tongue tie.
I have been expressing and doing as much skin to skin as possible, but he is fed through tube and has began taking bottles of express milk.
I have an appt to sort out his tongue tie but the DR said this would not make much difference to help with breastfeeding.
How can I encourage my baby to breastfeed? Will we get established? my expressing is now reducing and I'm worried about my supply.
Any help or advice?
Thank you.
