| I also just had a c-section due to preeclampsia. I was almost 36 weeks with twins. The babies didn't go into the NICU but because I was totally drugged up on magnesium sulfate and couldn't see straight or even hold my babies we didn't try breastfeeding for 2 days either. I really know how you feel, I hate depending on formula as well and now 3 weeks later still have trouble getting the babies to latch on. We have made some progress...they latch on now...but then they don't really suck out any milk or they fall asleep or get frustrated. I pump every 3 hours or so and at first only got half an ounce but since then it has increased to about an ounce an hour. I still have to supplement with formula though and I hate being married to the pump. I try to at least hold the babies close to my chest to increase milk flow and to picture them in my mind when pumping. Hang in there and let us know of your progress. Don't give up! And lets hope I don't either lol |
