Hi
I had to have a blood transfusion after having my DS 9 days ago. I really want to bf and have been doing so but I don't have much milk at all. I think I do recall the doctor saying there may be a delay in my milk coming in properly which is typical after a transfusion, but to be honest it's all a bit of a blur.
Now I find myself in a vicious circle as the little milk I have isn't enough to satisfy DS so I have been putting him on the breast then topping him up with formula if needs be. But I guess the more forumla I give him, the less milk I will produce.
Can anyone give any advice?? Would also love to hear of other people successfully BF'ing after having a transfusion and when their milk came in.
I hate to think that I may not be able to BF properly :(
