supply and demand Mood

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

GRRRRRR I just cannot breastfeed. I have enough supply, they are attached fine but for some reason I just do not have very much milk. I am the exception to the rule. Stop saying supply and demand constantly like it is the answer to everything. I even express as well as breastfeed. I just cannot get my supply up. Alright? No I don't want to formula feed so stop suggesting that I do.

the above is dedicated to almost everyone who has something to say about my milk supply. I am bloody sick of it. I KNOW you are meant to be able toproduce enough breastmilk for your babies. Thus this is where the supply and demand thing comes from. the more the baby sucks the more milk you produce. but it does not work for me.

You aren't meant to be in pain while breastfeeding and yet i was in so much pain i could not even hold my babies up i had to get midwives to help do it, and when i went home, my partner.

Right ending rant.............now

I was the same way..My son had no problem latching on but I had very little milk for him. he lost weight because of it. I understand how you feel.. You are not suppose to be in pain when you breastfeed. Don't worry what people say sweetie you do what's good for you and the babies
