Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hey, my milk didnt come in for a week as well, and she was really fussy. Falling asleep is normal for a newborn...just tickle her or change her diaper. I had to nurse her for 40 min for a month , so i knew she was getting a full feeding even though it took long. You might also want to read a book called "baby wise" if your doing demand feeding, she could be "snack feeding" which will make her want to only snack and that will mess your milk up, you want her to be really hungry, then get her on an eating schedule, but you cant do that until she has a full belly! Dont give up, its hard trust me i know...but its sooo good for the baby=) formula cant touch it!

I was going to write what newbiemama just wrote you. I also left a message on one of the boards for you about your doctor (who is insane). Breastfeeding is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. And, it is so hard to see other people have an easy go at it. Honey you are doing great. I bottle fed Kekoa for the first six weeks and then slowly moved over to the breast. He wouldn't latch on in the beginning for who knows why. Remember pumping doesn't tell you how much milk you are producing only how much you are pumping. There is a difference. Pumps don't extract the milk like a baby would and you don't get everything out then. I pump twice a day now for daycare and alway manualling express the rest out. I usually get another ounce or so. Keep trying to put her to your breast. She will learn as she gets stronger and bigger. It does get easier as they get bigger too. If you need to suppliment for the time being then so be it. But try your best to get her to your breast. If she falls asleep strip her down. I use to have to do that with my son. Also, circle her arms around like a little chicken wing. They had me doing that in the hospital and it works. Honey if you have any questions feel free to ask. I am here for you. Set a goal for yourself. Six weeks, two months, three months and just work forward. Kekoa is almost five months old and I look back and think how fast time went. The next seven will fly. No worries you will get through this. Oh and don't listen to your stupid doctor. Implants don't impede breastfeeding. I had a c-section and still feed as well. He is looking at things from a male point of view. Don't listen to him. Also, I got a precription for my milk at first too. My milk didn't come in for over a week (two days after I started meds). I called my doctor as soon as a week went by and no real milk. If you need to ask a different doctor then it might help. Or tell your doctor that you have researched it and want a prescription. Breastfeeding is important to you and want to try everything to make it work. Keep in touch and I will try and help as much as I can. Believe me, I have spent several hours researching and reading about breastfeeding and what you can do to help. You are on the right website, there are many people like me here that will help you as much as they can. Love you sweetheart and good luck!

Hi! I had the SAME problem! I pump my milk for my son and feed it to him via the bottle. My milk supply was aweful too.... the morte skin on skin contact and atempts at nursing you do... the better your milk. BUT BUT BUT ask your doctor for a med that will help your milk flow so if you have to pump for awhile you have that option!!! You aren't alone in your frustration girl! Good luck!

I had some trouble at first too - you're not alone out there! it took a while for my milk to come in and while pumping and struggling, my son lost weight & my nipples got pretty sore and scabbed up. ugh. and I also had a c-section, which just adds some serious fatigue and soreness into the mix. I was really strung out and emotional about it and came close to giving up. but, I really wanted to try and it got better by the middle of the 2nd week. at this point, i've bf my son for his first 6 weeks, supplementing w/ 2 oz of formula now and then when I couldn't keep up. and i've had other meltdowns in that time -- I take them for what they are and keep going. now i'm bf & giving him 4 oz of formula before bed at night (so daddy can feed him). bf is a LOT of hard work but if you want to do it, keep trying and see how it goes. I set myself goals: 3 weeks, 6 weeks and now, 12 weeks. when I reach the goals, I reevaluate and see how I feel. if you decide not to continue, give yourself permission to move on, knowing that it's the right thing for you and your baby and start feeding your little one formula. you've already given your baby colostrum and that is an excellent start to life! if you decide in the end to go w/ formula, that's absolutely your decision and absolutely ok. good luck - there are a lot of moms here who have struggled too - they can be great support to you. :)

i can truely understand what you're feeling but it get's better my now 9 month old daughter STILL breast feed along with table food that is but it took time and patience and some painful days i had open sores felt like glass was rubbing on my nipples but the engorgement is worst it hurt so badly i had no choice but to suck up the breastfeeding i hope it works out cause in the long run it's so much easier then the whole bottle thing she's my first

I was in the same position with breastfeeding. And unfortunately it didn't get easier for several weeks. I had to take a breastfeeding 'vacation' and let my nipples heal. I pumped and fed my daughter bottles. I have also struggled with milk supply, but I have done everything I can to keep it up, herbs, frequent feedings, even a prescription medication. Just remember that if your baby is getting some or most breastmilk it is better than none. I promise it gets easier. I wanted to quit too, but you will both become better at it if you stick with it!!! Good luck...
