My adult DD and I were amazed to find we were expecting at the same time. Unfortunately at day 5 her baby had lost a lot of weight and she discovered she had breast hypoplasia. I began expressing to donate milk, initially as an emergency measure so I am currently, in effect, attempting to breastfeed twins.
I initially expressed for DS who was premature, he is now 7 weeks corrected and feeding well. DGS was a healthy term baby and is now 4 weeks. DGS gets some milk directly from his mum who is working hard to maximise her milk supply and is supplemented with expressed milk. Both are around 3.5kg.
Any advice would be very much appreciated. I am not feeling very fit and healthy, partly the knock-on results of a difficult pregnancy and birth. I'm expressing as often as possible and I am getting pretty tired.
I know someone will have had a similar or bigger challenge. Please help!
