[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a volume/latch issue I think it's a lack of fat issue. Your baby needs fats like dha to form neurological connections. You keep saying you want 'healthy fats' but this preoccupation combined with your dairy intolerance might not allow you to build up enough quality breastmilk. Do you see a cream top on your milk when it sits in the fridge? I agree a dietitian who specializes in breastfeeding may be useful. Be kind to yourself, op, I'm the pp who has ebf for 11 months and while it's an adjustment it shouldn't be a prolonged struggle for mom or baby, imho. Otherwise it defeats the purpose. If I had any inkling my son was not satiated I wouldn't have hesitated to continually supplement, erring on the side of protecting his neurological development. Breastfeeding can be a handy tool but it's literally nothing compared to your instincts as a mom/caregiver. Good luck![/quote]
