DS is 12 days old. Unfortunately, last week, I developed a very serious infection and ended up back in hospital and have only been released today. I am on a cocktail of drugs which has meant giving up breastfeeding. This happened last Wednesday.
DH has done a fantastic job himself but DS seems distant with me. I am going to try skin to skin with him when he wakes and have a lovely cuddle, just the 2 of us but I worry that I may still smell milky and upset him. He stuggles to settle with me but I have only been allowed a couple of hours with him in hospital.
Cany anyone offer any support or help/suggestions?
Thanks
