A week after having Emma I went back into the hospital with pneumonia in both my lungs. From there I caught numerous colds and struggled with the rapid and eventual loss of my breastmilk. Some may not understand, but it caused me to feel like a slight failure to my daughter.
Speed forward to having Cole. I end up in the hospital with a kidney infection and pharyngitis 10 days after having him and deja vu...my milk supply is rapidly decreasing. I pump, let him suckle, take Fenugreek....and I continue to watch it disappear before my eyes...once again it is like I am failing my baby in some way.
I know there is always formula, but I wanted to give them the best stuff out there...my natural milk packed with antibodies and rich vitamins. I hope this time I can save my supply.
