Hello everyone!
First time poster and hopefully you guys can help me keep sane!
I was induced at 38 weeks and had a long labour that ended up with me having a forceps delivery and a lot of drugs.
Baby is fine and is the most amazing thing to happen to me! But I am struggling with my milk not coming in and it's now day five. I take hot showers/baths, I massage and express the colostrum with a syringe but still zero milk. Baby is on top ups (cowsgate newborn formula) until milk comes in. I try and get him to latch on but he isn't interested but he did do it in hospital for a short amount of time.
I basically want positive stories or advice on breastfeeding and not to give up hope that I can actually breastfeed my baby boy. I'm worried he will forget or rather have the formula.
Any advice or stories would be amazing!
Thank you!
