Our little girl, Rose, made her entry into the world on the morning of February 25th. It was a pretty rough delivery but thankfully it was shorter than I had anticipated. I labored at home for about 7 hours during early labor before heading to the hospital where it took another 12 hours (11.5 hours of laboring and 30 minutes of actual pushing). She weighed in at 7lbs 15 oz and was 20.25 inches tall. We're completely in love with her.
The recovery has been a bit hard as I have a second degree tear and lots of rather uncomfortable stitches. And breastfeeding has been incredibly difficult. Our poor little girl lost about 10% of her original body weight within 3 days so our pediatrician sent us to a lactation consultant. Our lactation consultant explained that I have a lack of mammary glands in my breasts so we've been keeping a ridiculous schedule of feedings, pumping sessions, and supplementing with formula to try to help her regain the weight. Any suggestions on ways to increase breastmilk supply would be much appreciated.

I also had issues and had to supplement for awhile until I got my supply up. Lactation cookies, Mothers Milk tea, oatmeal, and Gattorade help me the most. And relaxing. Seriously though, I cannot miss my daily Gattorade or I pump less. So weird. I also pumped a lot. Every hour. Now I don't have to worry about it as much, but it was super hard in the beginning. You got this, though

mother milk tea and oatmeal is my recommendation too. you can also use domperidone from inhousepharmacy.vu if you have lactation issues. I used it when I had a preemie. went from 1oz to 5 ox in a couple days. I stayed on it for a couple yrs
