Crying

[eva026]

Oh man, that sound just like DD! She slept through the first 2 weeks! In fact she slept through most of the first 2 months. BF was hell to start off with. It took both DH and I tickling her/stripping her/stroking her to wake her and BF took about 1.5h-2h at a time with me crying the whole time trying to keep her awake.  It passed when the jaundice passed at about the 2 week mark.
Holding your hand! Hang in there!

I'm sure you're doing loads of reading around in between the busyness of having a new LO, but there might be some more helpful info in this FAQ and the associated thread - Making breastfeeding work - delays in milk production

This might sound daft, but I just took DD into bed with me when I was in the hospital and let her latch on and feed as she wanted while I had a bit of a doze.  That skin to skin and sucking are so vital right now.  If she's still sleepy, what about doing a DF during the day?

We tried latching at the 1130 feed and she just got extremely ed off lol so everytime she yelled I tried to express alitttle into her mouth.  The good news is she is peeing wet diapers which was the main goal so hopefully she won't have to go for more blood work. I'm giving it my best shot and as dh say during one of my more emotional stages that its all I can do and that my girls will know I love them no matter whether I can breast feed or not.

You're doing great!  Honestly the 30 minute sleepy feeds sound pretty much like ds at the beginning, just make sure you've got some water and a book/tv show to keep you entertained.

So update from ped. Dd gained 6 ounces and doesn't look as jaundice so no more blood work and we just keep doing what we are doing till we see him next week which is basically feeding and pumping every 3 hours.  Bad news it seems the only person who likes my boobs in our house is dh lol

LOL!  Sometimes people find getting in a warm bath with LO on their tummy/chest and just letting them find their way helps, but probably not so easy in the early days after a c/s (I could get up when I got into the bath the day after mine!)

Yay for the 6 ounces!!  What a fabulous job you're doing, I know it's not easy!

Just adding to the hugs.

We had the crystals and jaundice and weight loss after the c sec with Cadan and it was very worrying. Just keep doing what you are doing Hun.

Thanks ladies! I am pumping 20ml every 3 hrs but she still has no interest in latching. She either screams her little heart out or she puts boob in mouth and falls asleep and nothing will wake her.  So to be honest I'm doing all I can but I'm also trying to deal with the emotions if this just doesn't work as we are on day 5 and still no real signs of milk, there are changes but no like gushes of milk or engorgement. Oh the guilt and peer pressure that is going around here b/c in the area I live in breast feeding is considered the only way. The lactation consultant actually told me to starve the baby and she would latch eventually.  I was like really? How us that beneficial to any one? Thank you for the support ladies and thank you for not judging its nice to know there is someplace to come and be supported and not judged.
