Hello all,
I'm a garden variety terrified new mother to a 12 day old little boy and trying to get to grips with it all. My little boy is a hungry little one and I'm struggling to cope with keeping up, despite feeding and pumping around the clock. I've noticed that he's starving in the evenings yet my supply (as gauged by pumping) tends to decrease. Is this normal and can anything be done? I've had to resort to desperate formula top-ups when I couldn't cope and it kills me to think that I don't seem to be able to provide my baby with what he needs. For the last couple of days I've been using EBM bottles to bridge the gaps but playing catchup all day is exhausting and I'm really at breaking point. Am I doing the right thing? Any comments you all have would be gratefully received. Thanks so much! S
