Hello, can anyone help..?
I've been trying to boost my supply as dd isn't gaining weight very well and I generally feel quite 'empty' except for at about 1am when she's had a sleep. The other prob I'm having is that the left boob is never full or hard, I try to give dd that side first each time so her hardest sucks stimulate it, but still after a week or so it's not really performing. She also fusses and pulls off, bobbing about when it goes soft. It's like she doesn't like my nip when it's all softened after a few mins, and makes me feel like there's just not enough milk in there. Oddly I thought initially it was the other way round, I had a more 'full' feeling left side and at one point some lumpy bits which I managed to clear by massaging while dd fed. But then it never seemed to fill back up. Anyway, enough rambling, any tips on evening out/increasing supply? Dd is 3.5 weeks and I bf all day but give her one ff at bedtime.
