Hello,
Just to get some moral support. DS1 exclusively breastfed till 6mths, though took a month to establish. DS2 EBF also, much easier initially but now we are on strike.
I have flat nipples so not always easy and DS2 has shallow latch as I've produced so much milk.
Main worries are 3yr old DS1 climbing all over us. This my have caused initial upset as DS1 jumping on us first thing in the morning when I was engorged. DS2 then got confused, so much so that after first feed with fast flow, he has almost decided he won't be bothered to suck on the left. The right side is usually perfect,but we've only managed 2 feeds from there.
Expressing but gettin naff all, maybe 60 ml first attempt and 20 thereafter.
DS2 5 weeks old. Was 10pm at birth and 11,4 now', has been gaining 1oz a day and skeeping through 8hrs at night, till now
Any hints to keep going or solve this? DS2 seems to fart a lot too and it smells a little.
Have been sat with him since 5am this morning 12 hrs. Nit sure how this will work tomorrow as DS1 due in nursery. DH seeing if they'll take him tomorrow and weds to let me and ds2 try to get things right. However nursery full tomorrow so we're on the list.
With DS1 I could tae to my bed and focus on feeding but this is impossible ith 3GS old toddler.
Ferlinghetti like it's game over. Off to see cranial osteopathi to see if e can help as he is excellent with jaw ad suction problems. Fingers crossed.
Just when I wss celebtrting hitting a month. I am now panicking (but trying not to let DS2 know).
