Dear Lactation Consultant,
This is my second pregnancy and I am expecting twins. I'm due October 14th. I breastfed my first child, almost 3 years ago. I had problems with supply; I went to work right at 6 weeks and pumped, but it seemed like I couldn't satisfy him with just the breast and weaned him at 4 months.
Dear Lactation Consultant,
It's been 10 days since the birth of our baby girl. My breast milk took about five days to come in. Our baby wouldn't latch on to me because of my flat nipples. I was given nipple shells, but she didn't like those either. Since then I've been pumping with a double breast pump and bottle feeding in order to supplement with formula since I wasn't producing enough milk.
Dear Lactation Consultant,
Overall the experience of breastfeeding my first child was positive but I did have some problems to start. My milk didn't come in until day 7 so I had a starving baby which was really stressful. A nurse recommended Fenugreek tablets to increase my supply which did seem to help and I also took them a couple of months down the track when I felt my supply wasn't keeping up and again they seemed to work.
