Hi all. Looking for some advice. My daughter was born Thursday 29th and we are attempted breastfeeding. It is now day 5 and my milk still hasn't come in. Yesterday she was so hungry and hysterical that we went to hospital and she was weighed where we found she has lost 10.9% of her birth weight. We've been put on a feeding plan in which we must attempt breast first then top her up with formula.
This morning has been good - she has fed for 20 mins on each side before having her formula top up. However, this afternoon she has done the same hysteria. I tried to pump and nothing came out at all. It seems in the afternoon I have no milk left? Does anyone have any advice for getting my milk to come in? I lost almost 1L of blood during her birth which is a factor. Are there any miracle cures? I'm heartbroken and feel like I'm letting her down.
Thanks in advance.
