[quote=Anonymous]I stuck it out for a few months before losing my milk, but I was also pumping and supplementing with formula once or twice a day for most of that time since my ped suggested it. (DD was struggling to gain weight bc of really bad reflux, and for whatever reason she kept formula down better than breastmilk.) I'm glad you don't feel guilty - you shouldn't! It's OK to give up, and it's OK to keep trying if you can/want to. Last suggestion: NOVA Lactation Consultants in Fairfax. I had one visit with someone there - I'm blanking on her name...Joni I think?...and she was great. Taught us how to latch in like 20 minutes! AND, bonus, she agreed with my ped about supplementing with formula, and emphasized that the point of it all is just to FEED THE BABY. Even though she's a professional LC, she was totally compassionate and nonjudgmental. Good luck, OP! Most women I know really struggled at first or even the whole time. It ain't easy. [/quote]
