| My daughter swallowed blood during my c-section & couldn't be fed except thru IV until it was all out of her system.
A pump didn't do a thing for me...just like you I had trouble getting much of anything, but I was determined to breast feed & my doc told me how important it was to get as much milk as possible to keep from drying up - I finally gave up on the pump & expressed the milk by hand into the bottle. It was a lot of work & messy but worked so much better than the pump & I actually brought my milk in without my daughter ever breast feeding until later.
Congrats on your son's birth. Don't be discouraged. Even if you do have to use a bottle, it is still a wonderful bonding experience. |
