This one needed its own post. Breasfeeding hasn't come easily to me. It has been nothing less than one huge struggle from the start. In fact, I'm still struggling - but persisting.
I have tried the jungle juice, even the old wive's tales.
Prolak works, but at R200 a bottle I can't afford it.
Fenugreek is a waste of time.
I finally went the Egynol route (maybe that's to blame for all the tears recently?) and it worked. Tomorrow I take my last tablets though, so I am now stressing about what is going to happen to my supply.
I've been expressing, massaging, trying to breastfeed, standing under a hot shower.... ever since Ashton came home, and it's now going on 3 months. I'll still persist because I really want to breastfeed, but I won't lie it is so frustrating!
Ashton has been latching really nicely since he hit 3,5kgs, but the last few days he just prefers his bottle. So I express, and massage, and take tablets, and stand under a hot shower...
Wish me luck.
