To cut a long story short because I simply don't want to think about this much more because it's making me feel very down.
I stopped breast feeding after a week which I did reluctantly because my baby never latched on properly and I got infected blisters on my nipples. Because they were blistered and infected I stopped for what was supposed to be only a week at max. Because my supply wasn't established and my baby was only a week old, my supply literally - no joking - vanished within 3 days. After 3 days, my boobs started feeling better so I tried to express and I kid you not, my nipples weren't even wet, I got absolutely nothing out. I beat my self up for weeks about it but my son was and still is, contented on formula so I put it to the back of my mind.
Last week I decided to get my supply back because I just missed the feeling so satisfaction I got when I pumped a whole bottle for him and not just put powder to water.
I've pumped 15 minutes every 3 hours - or there abouts anyway - and I've got nothing.
I was recommend fenugreek by my health visitor so I bought a bottle of 610 mg. I've been taking 3, 3 times a day today and I took 3 twice yesterday. I was told and have read that it normally works within 24 - 72 hours but people see improvements within 24 hours. I got very excited earlier when I looked at my boobs and thought they looked a bit more full - not engorged but fuller - but I've just tried pumping and I got nothing again so now I feel like I'm just dreaming they've got bigger. I definitely feel like they're fuller but I'm paranoid I could be imagining it.
I really want to breast feed my baby again and be able to express, please can anyone advise or give me tips on what I should do?
Thank you x
