I have a 3wk dd n day one she was a bit lazy feeder...I don't know if the fact that I had c section under GA made her sleepy but we had a hard time first two days. To top it, I didn't have any flow till day 3. I struggled to feed her and she is on a mixed EBM, formula with occasional breast thrown in everyday. I bought the ameda hoping to gradually phase out the formula till she is 6 months.
She was always hungry n I had to top her up with formula to gain weight. HV was slightly condescending (coz I'm a dr, a kiddie one to boot) and pushing towards only BF
And she has colic :(
Any advice on how much I should be pumping, how frequently? Am I being too hopeful? I'm at my wits end because I really wanted to breast feed exclusively (I wanted max breast milk with small top ups but now willing to settle even for 50 -50 breast milk/formula)
