I had a c-section last week...at 34 weeks gestation because I had pre-eclampsia. My son was bottlefed in the NICU with formula. The hospital wouldn't consider letting me even pump until I was out of ICU myself (even though I was fine) which was right at 2 days. All of this was extremely upsetting. Since then (8 days), he won't/can't latch on. I've been pumping every 1.5-2 hours but still can't get more than half an ounce total each time. I am very distressed and hate the fact that I have to depend on formula. Does anyone know if being diabetic (almost 21 years) has anything to do with lack of milk? Any advice on getting him to latch?
Please help.
