basilmama,
You're such a great mother that you want to give the best to your bb despite any hardship
1/ I don't know whether your bb is still in the hospital. Anyway, try to consult the nurse for breastfeeding at the hospital or Maternity and Child Health Clinic. The nurse will correct your position or wrong things.
2/ For yourself, you must take more rest to get more milk. Drink more water/ soup/etc so that the body can make more milk.
3/ You may consider seeing 中醫 to strengthen your health. But, be careful to find someone reliable.
Unstable emotion/ not enough rest/ not enough intake of food/ fluid can badly affect the supply of milk. So, relax and try my suggestion.
I've been bf TIm for 15 months and I am still working hard on it. Any pbm, please feel free to ask us. THere are a lot of supportive mothers here :lol: :lol:
1. Please buy Medela Lanolin cream at Mannings. Put it before and after breastfeeding. Wound would be recovered faster and less pain. Safe for baby, don't worry!
2. Try your best to breastfeed baby as frequently and soon as possible. Because it is very important time to stimulate your milk production. More importantly is your baby will refuse your breast, if you feed baby by bottle so often.
3. Don't worry. Blood condition gradually will turn back to normal after a month. My blood is far from the standard after delivery, then back to normal after five weeks. Eat more, sleep whenever baby sleep and relax.
Try your best and take care !
