I think my bf relationship with ds is over:(.
This is the 3rd day i have had trouble bf ds and i have no milk,and i KNOW this for a fact,what is wrong with me?I cant even provide milk for my baby i feel like a failure:crying:

[babylover111]

I am so sorry to hear that, personally I have no idea about bf and whats normal so Im not one to give you advice, but what I do know is that you're definitely not a failure.

Here you go :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

[tanni_83]

:hugs: for you...you are so not a failure!! You have done your very best for providing for your DS.

sorry i have no advice. but just thought id give you a hug :)

:hugs: Please don't feel like a failure, you are by no means a failure. If the bf relationship is over, take the time to greive, it really is a big loss. But if you still want to keep trying, head down to your dr and see if there is anything they can give you to help. Some fenugreek helps some ppl.

:hugs:

Hi

:hugs:

\My heart goes out to you, I know how upsetting it is when you feel that its the end of the b/f relationship. If you want to carry on maybe contact a lactation consultant, there was one attached to my hospy. Or call an ABA counsellor. Also there is a thread on here somewhere for lactation boosting cookies.

Can I ask how you know that you have no supply

[sunnygirls]

You are not a failure. Remember that you can still have that beautiful bond and closeness with your baby when you bottlefeed. There is always help at hand. Sending you lots of :hugs:

[Hokey Pokey]

Contacting an ABA counsellor would be a good idea. l'm sure your beautiful bf relationship isn't over - just a bump in the road!

[Lirael]

dont give up! try some lactation boosting cookies(i think cheezelkat has the recipe on here) see your doc, ring the ABA.
there is plenty of support places:hugs:

how do you know for a fact you have NO milk?

[maybe1more]

Your not a failure at all, and here a big hug:hugs: I got some awesome info from this weblink i have been taking fenugreek and it really works i took it for two weeks. http://kellymom.com/herbal/milksupply/fenugreek.html Best of luck.

Thanks girls i think i was just really tired last night and upset that i wasnt producing any milk yesterday,it was a really hot day and we'd been out in the heat.Today we are doing better Sasha has had two successful feeds YAY.

[Lirael]

Glad to hear that things are looking up for you.

It hard having to stop when neither of you are ready.

Hope it keeps up:thumbsup:

[~Kristin~]

I was all set to give you big hugs (her's one anyway :hugs: ) but then I read on and saw that today is going better for you :smiliedance: .

I notice that my supply drops off a bit in the heat, I have to MAKE myself drink more water. One of the gal's on our Oct 06 Baby thread suggested Fenugreek for me too, it must be good stuff, apparently helps with head cold too. I'm going to try and find some! :yes:

[Femme-Fetale]

Aww hun dont beet up on yourself, Breastfeeding ISNT as easy as everyone says it is.
Are you well hydrated.
Can you call the ABA and ask them for help/advice?
HUGS:hugs:

Thanks girls i have already rang the bf councellar,as well as emailed them and then i went to see my doctor also,i have done the things suggested to me.

I cant take fenugreek cause apparently it lowers your blood sugar levels and i am diabetic.

[Shanaynay]

That's great to hear!

Drink plenty of fluids and REST - it takes a lot of energy to make milk :yes:

[Milliner]

:yelclap: Thats great news. I agree keep drinking that water.

[jessgray]

:hugs: :hugs: we're always here when you need to talk.
you arent a failure. just keep up the fluids and remember we all have bad days we just try to only remember the good ones:D :laughing:
