Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this I'm just feeling really upset.
Dd is 9 days old, I've been exclusively breastfeeding & thought she was getting enough. But the midwife has just been & dd hasn't gained any weight since Monday. I have been struggling a little with the latch on my right boob (midwife showed me a new position), but she always seems to feed fine from the left. The midwife isn't sure if my supply is enough, so said no longer than 3 hours between feeds (which doesn't often happen anyway) & we have to take her to the hospital on Sunday to get weighed. If she hadn't gained weight by then we have to top her up with formula.
I just feel like I'm letting dd down. I'm trying so hard but it's obviously not good enough :( breastfeeding has always been so important to me, I didn't even buy a single bottle as I've had my heart set on it. Does anyone please have any advice? Thank you.
