Mum needing encouragement and support: I am now the mommy of 4 sweet kids (5, 3, 1 and one day old). All of my last 3 had a tongue and/or lip tie but my newborns is so bad, I cant manipulate his lip enough for him to even pull in my whole nipple. I nurse him for a few excruciating minutes but have supplemented after (this is only until i get him into the pediatric dentist for surgery). Ive never had to supplement before, but his was so bad he wasnt getting anything and he hadnt passed urine in almost 24 hrs. I am also suffering from 2 BAD hemorrhoids, which Ive also never had. I just need advice and encouragement. Its devastating me to give my newborn a bottle and for me to not be able to spend time with my kids as Im in so much pain. Pinky says: Hugs - this is horrible for you and your poor baby and little ones . Ill post so you get support and encouragement. Can you get the dentist to see you urgently? Ask if they have a cancellation? Are you able to express ? What practical help do you have? Here is a blog that will be helpful to maintain your supply. beautifulbreastfeeding/expressing-breast-milk-making-it-easy/
