IcePrincess - no I am allergic to aspirin so I couldn't but I took Metanx which is L-Methylfolate, B6 and B12 in bio active form. It's similar to Folgard but its bio active and not synthetic.

Crystal she is beautiful! Congrats!
Sorry I forgot about the ASA allergy.
Hope all is going well with you gals Crystal and Renner, and the new little babies!

So far so good - little Girly doesn't want to latch so I've been pumping and supplementing what I can't pump.

 

[Renner]

Oh my gosh, she's adorable Crystal!! Absolutely perfect!! How is breastfeeding going now??

Congratulations!!

Breastfeeding just isn't happening

Sorry to be so MIA lately. We had a scare last weekend - Mackenzie spiked a fever and we had to go to the ER. They admitted her for tests and did an IV (not sure how they even found a vein!) and a urine culture and a spinal tap (so scary to watch!). We had to wait 48 hours for the cultures to grow before they'd release us. Finally 48 hours went by and the cultures were all negative. No explanation for the fever but luckily she's ok.

Breastfeeding reversed while in the hospital too new finally were getting her to latch with nipple shield and got her to latch bare twice but while in the hospital she was on antibiotics intravenously and I think it affected her where she would no longer really latch any way even with nipple shield. I didn't have my pump and supply was also affected.

Since supplementing with bottles she now expects that flow and when it doesn't from the breast she wants nothing to do with it The LC we saw even said Good Luck as she's not sure she will want to latch 100% ever now :-/

At least bottle feeding allows for others to help feed her too but I wanted that connection and I feel as though I have let her down.
