ugh i messed up today aswell, we had a barbecue this evening for my dads birthday so i couldnt SNS her cos there was too many people there and i had to help sort the food and that out...grr! i really need a few weeks where i can just stay in bed or something lol

on a good note though, i hand expressed a little milk today and BFd her for a while too, i dont know if she was getting milk but she did the suckle anyway, so at least i know i have some milk and that she can still BF

just breast pumped and i seriously got about 5mls, i did it a few hrs ago and i got nothing i reaaaally need to make more of an effort with this, i just know i'll be sooo gutted if i lose my milk altogether!

tomorrow im going to SNS every feed, get back on track again and breast pump every 2hrs, i have 2 weeks to get at least enough milk for one feed, i can do it, come on boobies!!

wish me luck girlies, i need all the help i can get with this...

Good luck!

Are you keeping a diary? I found that if I charted when I pumped, how long for and how much I got, I was much better at sticking to it.

You could always post here every day to let us know how you've done, would that help you keep on track?

You are doing great, keeping my fingers crossed for you x

thanks hun, im not keeping a diary at the moment, just updating on here but it might be an idea anyway

so this morning

9.30 - 5oz SNS right / 2oz SNS left
11.30 - breast pump 10mins each side
1.30 - just about to 5oz SNS left / 2oz SNS right
3.30 - will BP 10mins each side
5.30 - will give 5oz SNS right / 2oz left
7.30 - BP 10mins each
9.30 - 5oz left / 2oz right
11.30 - BP 10mins each
1.30 - 5oz right / 2oz left
3.30 - BP 10mins each side

that sounds alright doesnt it? i must be stimulating it enough to get at least some milk, i just hope it works, ive asked paul to get me some drugs from the doctors where he is volunteering while were here, i hope he can get me some cos i am having to do this with no help really
