Keep going at it hun its hard and takes time ....the fenugreek can take from few days to a few wks to work the more u pump the more u will get xxxx

 

[princessellie]

thanks both of you

im not taking my fenugreek atm, i forgot to buy more before i came and i cant find it here so im going it alone lol, cant wait to get home and go the doctors and get domperidone, then maybe i'll have more of a chance...

still no letdowns, i havent expressed yet but gave her 10mins on each side this morning before her bottle and i am about to SNS now, i SNS'd lots yesterday and expressed aswell but still nothing!! i got about 10mls all bloody day!! this is going to be a lot harder than i thought it would! i juist want to do as much as i can here cos i know when i get home i wont have anyone to pass the baby too while i try and pump or something lol

still no progress, still no letdowns, still no more than 10mls when i express im not doing good! i dont think i'll ever be able to do this

[princessellie]

well, im still trying, i sometimes wonder if maybe i should just give up but i think i will just keep on being upset about not being able to BF, i had all these ideas in my head that i would never ever give her formula and i would exclusively BF her lol...there goes that plan, and now it looks like i might never be able to feed her again, i mean on one hand i am BFing her via the SNS and i am getting all the closeness and everything but i want her to be thriving on my milk not stupid formula lol

have just had a chat with toria (my favourite BF cheerleader lol) and she has give me some good tips so im going to carry on and we'll see where it gets me

Maybe dont put too much pressure on yourself by thinking about EBFing. Just aim to change 1 feed to a BF and then take it from there maybe? x

 

[lillysmum]

[princessellie]

Good luck Ellie. I did it with Charlie, was very hard work but would definately have been worth it if Charlie hadn't decided that he hated boobie, lol!!!!

 

[princessellie]

[Mervs Mum]

How you doing hun?

 

[princessellie]

i slacked for a few days, we went to istanbul to see my family and get leyla muslim'd and it was 8hr car journey there then we stayed a few days and had 8hr car journey back, i didnt sns or express or anything while i was there, it was too hard being in the car and all that and so i just left it for a few days, im going to start again tomorrow, hopefully nothing happens to mess up my plans this time lol
