I am concerned that my production is too low? I wanted to see if anyone else had this concern or if their milk "fully" came in after the "2 to 5 days" that everyone tells you it takes?
Any feedback is appreciated! Im a new mom with 2 babies and although I have no issue supplementing with formula so they get what they need - I would love to breastfeed wihout having to offer formula and build a supply for when I return to work

This same thing happens to me when I do breastfeed. What ever ended up happening for you?View Thread



I admin a BF support page on FB and have done quite a bit of research on this "pump and dump" myth.
There is no reason she can't BF. But they are telling her that she can't because of having the CT scan with iodine. She is very upset.
They said they will not look at any research and facts on it unless it's from WebMD!
So can someone PLEASE link me to something from here that says they're full of it?
She has extreme anxiety from losing her 19 day old daughter to SIDS a couple yrs ago, and them not letting her BF or even hold her son is about to push her over the edge.View Thread

A few days ago my colostrum stopped coming, I had been pumping colostrum cause my newborn would latch onto my breast but would fall asleep and let go or would latch and get fussy cause there was nothing to eat. I even tried nipple shields which made the situation worse. So we decided formula should be supplemented. Formula is working just fine, baby has no problems with it. I'm the one having problems. I know he is getting the food his needs but I feel awful that I can't be the kind of woman that can supply her child with breast milk. And now with colostrum not coming ( I pumped twice for 20 minutes and not a single drop) I'm not sure what my breasts should feel like. They are quite soft, no lumps, nor there is there any pain. I need advice, please help.View Thread
