[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s annoying but you are making everything harder for yourself (including handling her) by insisting on breastfeeding. At 2 weeks PP your milk supply isn’t going to increase. [/quote]

You are a moron. I had a similar situation and had to briefly supplement with formula and eventually wean off the shield but we went on to successfully exclusively breastfeed for the whole year after the bumpy start and brief supplementation. I was so glad I didn’t listen to people like you. [/quote]

same same-- i had to triple feed the first few weeks-- and then switched to just nursing and expressed milk... my kid never developed a great latch i think and self weaned at 7 months at which point i switched to exclusive pumping every 2ish hours during the day and ta da my supply increased/stabilized.

i vividly recall some idiot lactation consultant telling me in the hospital that i wouldn't be able to make milk because i had slight hypothyroidism... she was wrong.  i did use formula to supplement in the beginning (baby had low blood sugar at birth, jaundice a few days post discharge, no milk supply at birth...) but all worked out.  but i will say it was incredibly exhausting and time consuming and made me feel miserable at first when i couldn't meet my goals...  and i fully understand why people choose to not do it!

i'm sorry your MIL sounds awful but ignore this pp[/quote]
