I dont know if it is the right place to post, but I already got some great advice from my ladies in the premature board when I was pumping in the NICU.
Now that my baby is close to due n comming home soon I wanted to know some other stuff =)
I had a preemie ( as u can see in my tickers ) and honestly it was HARD pumping in the first 2 weeks ( since I never had the chance to put her to breast until she was 22 days old ) and in the first week I could only hold here after few days, so my milk was TERRIBLE like 7 ccs in the first week and 20 ccs for the second week, and THANKS God now I can do 50 ml every 3 hours.
I know it is not thaaaaat bad, and it was just what she needed, now I am going crazy, she NEVER tried formula ( until she was 34 days old ) and yesterday they called me telling that I wasn´t ´´producing `` enough and they are going to start her in some neosure ( preemie formula ) I got crazy pumped like a mad woman, but no CHANGE .
Ok I am drinking plenty of water, resting, eating well, tried fenugreek ( didn´t work ) and pumping every 3...
Man I think just the stress of having her in the hospital is not helping much, but I need to do something I really want her to have only breastmilk =((((
PS. my nipples are sore from the pump too, already changed for a bigger funel but didn´t work since I have small nipples ( and small boobs haha)
please help ! I have to do something before she comes home !
Thank you very much
(if u know anything under the counter to take will be great too)
