Any suggestions? 
Warm bath for you and feeding in the bath?

any suggestions best way to increase it bearing in mind I have to be careful with my nipples which are easily damaged. Expressing is such a pain in the back side.


I cannot recommend fenugreek highly enough!  Can be bought from holland and barratts and you need to take enough to make you smell of curry/maple syrup  :P :-X, but it works amazingly well.

Oh my goodness.  I can't believe your latest update!!!!  Such big hugs!  Someone recommended lecithin supplements to get rid to blockages when ds was little -- worked well, though I can't remember if it can have an impact on supply.

I haven't had an AB in about 12 years! I did have a reaction to it but it was a different one.

Just waiting to see GP now.

Unbelievable! You poor love! Hope GP can sort you out.  There are several options for mastitis, I had three different ones I think when I had recurrent mastitis.

Just thinking - are you sure your bra fits well? Any tightness or in other clothes could make you prone to blocked ducts.

Oh shiv I can't believe you have this now on top of everything else. Hope you get an quick and easy switch to some that do the job

You're being a star through this. Just read your update on the ttttc thread (did I get the right number of Ts?) and so pleased that you're still feeling so positive despite all of this rubbish you have to deal with xx

I really am. The feeding is driving me nuts and is so frustrating but I'm setting myself small goals.  Next one is let's make it to Sunday. But on the whole she is a gorgeous gorgeous baby and we just love having her. But I really want to be better so we can start getting out and have people visit and I really need to get into a routine with my big girls.

I got  to the GP and she gave me a different AB. She told me to stop BFing for a week and not to give her expressed milk. I said it was not keen to do that at all seeing as we working on getting back to just feeding on the boob and stopping the expressing and bottles and she said well she doesn't advise it. But I got my sister to check and then clarified with the midwife and they both said it was on the safe list.   So I'm going to keep feeding. The GP advised to start using lanolin again now the thrush is really settling to keep on top of the nipple cracks.

The MW weighed missy and she has put on 150g in the last few days.  Still not back to birth weight but at least she's not losing any more.

So another step forward!

Erm, pretty dodgy advice there from the GP! You can see the logic of some of it, but practically not very BF aware.  Don't use the lanolin unless you think it's working for you (you won't of course).  If you've any more meds questions, the breastfeeding network drugs in breastmilk service has a facebook page! You can message them through there, it's pretty fast.

cheering you on til Sunday.
