A Story About Jaundice, Low Supply & Tongue Tie Breastfeeding Matters
-
- Opvoeding
My personal story about dealing with my daughter's jaundice, low milk supply and tongue tie. From supplementation starting at day 2 to finally getting back to the breast at 4 months. I hope this story gives you HOPE that anything is possible, and if you want to breastfeed, you can do it!
**Clarification** when I said that at 1 month postpartum you should be making 3-4oz combined, this is for EXCLUSIVE pumpers! If you are breastfeeding and pumping then anything under 2oz combined is perfect and highly depends on when you last fed baby. For me, since my daughter did not transfer milk well, pumping 1oz total meant there wasn't much else in there.
