Hi everybody! I posted a while ago about wanting to re-lactate after a month and a half hiatus when my baby was 2 1/2 months. . . chronic low milk supply, then passed a piece of retained placenta, midwife had an AHA moment, now I feel cheated . . Well, after pumping and some fenugreek for two weeks, I've got lots of milk, engorged all over again.
Here's the problem . . I've been trying for the last two weeks to get her to latch on. But she won't. In fact, she cries when I try. I've tried a supplemental nursing system, but that didn't work, tried dropping some milk into her mouth from my nipple to encourage her, didn't work. Tried putting some vitamin D drops cuz' they're sweet on my nipple, didn't work. Tried all sorts of positions, boppy, no boppy.
Here I am, wanting to breastfeed for bonding and for nutrition, am I going to have to pump for a year. After all this work, I'm not letting my milk dry up again, but geez' she's getting busy, don't have time to pump all the time. Don't know what to do, hope she isn't getting or going to get a breast aversion. Any suggestions, anyone, please help, I'm really desperate!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
