how important is milk? UPDATED Empty how important is milk? UPDATED

Post by Helen Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:32 am

Right i no milk is the most important food for baby for the 1st year. Thats why i'm worried about when i go in hospital next friday cos bethany will only take a sip here and there of my milk from a cup (finally!).

So say if she went a couple of days with only a few sips of my milk (they still say she cant be with me overnight) but was having solids - will she be ok? Or will she just make up for it when i am finally able to feed her properly when i get out of hospital?

Plus its really doing my head in now - i've been pumping away for half hour and have only managed to express just over 1 oz! Any suggestions? I'm eating loads of porridge (gonna make some flapjacks thiis weekend) and drinking loads of fluids. Do you think i should get some fenugrek just for the lead up to going in hospital?

Oh hun how frustrating for you. I think you might find she takes more when your not around to give it to her.
When i first started to express i only got 1oz at a time. It takes a while to build the amount up. I used fenugreek and it worked for me. I would give it a try. Only express for 20 mins at a time, you don't want to make yourself sore.
Good luck with everything
