Dd2 is fractious. She keeps latching then pulling off screaming, my nipples hurt, I've lost my let down tingle and I want to cry. Im not able to pump anywhere near what I could a week ago. Dd is only 9 weeks and has been ebf since birth. I've been pumping to increase my supply and to start a stock of milk so that I could be away from her for a few hours to do some keep in touch days. Everything was going really well. ThenI started to feel something was wrong as for the last few days I've felt my supply diminish more and more and thought it was because I was trying to eat more sensibly instead of girging on biscuits. The last few days ive been having af symptoms too - tummy and backache, headaches and craving sugary food. Then it arrived this morning and it all made sense. I really do not know what to do. It was all going so well and now it's gone wrong. The lactation midwife says it's temporary but I'm likely to get the same every month. She also said it's unusual for a mum of an ebf baby under 6 months to get a period so I think she thinks I'm lying. I don't know what to do. Sorry this is garbled. I'm really pissed off. My body failed to lactate with dd1. This time I've worked fucking hard to get bf established. So hard. I didn't have a great supply - wasn't shooting milk across the room and had no need for breast pads, but there was enough and now there isn't. Even if it is temporary it will happen again next month.
