Hey everyone
It has been ahellish past couple of days. We are in the middle of a heatwave and my 6 month old daughter just finished a growth spurt, had a bad diaper rash (clearing up now thank god) and is teething big time. My milk supply was doping great... until today. My fiance has been working 8 out of the last 10 days (he is on call) and he had to be up at 4:30 this morning (working a split shift.. was home from 10 am til noon but now gone again until 5 pm). Problem was, we had a huge electrical storm last night and i was up with the baby til 4 am and we lost power due to the storm when I finally did fall asleep. Because of this, the alarm didn't go off and dispatch called at 5:20 asking where he was. We both jumped out of bed (me because I did not want him to wake the baby in his panic... which happened anyhow) and he blamed ME for the alarm not waking him.. said I should have set my cell phone alarm as well. My normally helpful easygoing man was so not himself (understandable to a point). Anyhow, he made it off to work, came home between shifts and woke both me and the baby. He was going to have a
nap but I felt just sicker than a dog and asked him to take her downstairs for her cereal. He was mad. I managed to get 2 more hours of
sleep, and woke when he left. He put her in the bed with me to be fed again (which is fine) and my milk supply (due to stress and being sick) has gone down considerably. I can normally pump 6 ounces in the morning, this morning I got 2 ounces and it is supposed to be for her nightly bottle. I am panicked now because 2 ounces is not going to please her. What can I do to help this?? I am on the verge of tears but I have no energy to cry if that makes sense.
