DS was born by caesarean 10 days ago, and it took a full week for my milk to come through. I religiously put him to the breasts but to no avail,- becoming frustrated that there was no milk available. He was so hungry by this stage there was no choice but to supplement with formula whilst still in hospital. On returning home, after a day or so my milk came through, but still shattered from a 3 day induction and no rest in hospital I was so disappointed when he didn't latch on to my breast. I tried all the positions, and got the help of 4 midwives and 2 breastfeeding advisers in hospital, so feel I did my best. On the rare occasions he sucks more than 5 or 6 times it is very painful. I am still persevering, but having to give DS the vast majority of his nutrition via formula through a bottle which is designed to be more like the natural feeding mechanism of the breast, as I am trying to minimise confusion. I have been trying to express milk but fear my already small supply is dwindling - yesterday I couldn't get anything out at all. Yesterday DS was diagnosed with tongue tie, which makes sense of everything which has been happening - he can't latch on properly to the breast. I have been given advice on the procedure and am now confused as to whether or not I should have it done (it would be done by Mr Patel at Kings College Hospital London). Basically I am told that it may help with breastfeeding, but won't be necessary if I decide to bottle feed. It has been such a struggle so far - what if I decide to have the procedure but my milk dries up anyway? I have been trying so hard and feel so disappointed that I am not giving my baby what he needs - but what if the procedure doesn't work? Or what if I don't get it done, and in several years' time it is apparent DS has a speech impediment? I am so in two minds about what to do, I would greatly appreciate the advice of anyone who has been through this.
