Dc3 due March.
Dc1 75th centile at birth, milk didn't come in until day 6, continual supply probs, tongue tie with corniculate tongue, steadily dropped to 2nd centile by 23 weeks despite supplementing with formula. Believed supply issues due to formula and resolved to avoid next time. Back at 50th centile in six weeks.
Dc2 91st centile, lost 1lb by day 3, no milk until day 7. Feeding seemed to stabilise, happy feeder but fell off bottom of charts at week 20 despite expressing and refeeding, some dehydration and described as 'wasted' by GP. Tongue tie diagnosis, gained 18oz following week with expressing/refeeding and 1oz top ups after 2 hourly feeds. Climbed to 91st centile within 4 months.
Midwife is suggesting antenatal expressing especially as results were borderline for gestational diabetes and she says this can delay milk coming in. I've been referred to a lactation specialist to write a plan before birth.
Just wondered what MN peeps think as I can't find much info on it.
Thanks.
