Appointment with the Lactation Consultant
So today at the lactation consultant, Emrie completely embarrassed me! She fed nonstop for 20 mins like a pro! I did use the nipple guard, but still. She has NEVER done this at home! The weighed her before and after the feeding and she drank 2 1/2oz. She has gained 7oz since last Thursday. What a little piggy!
The lactation consultant attributes our difficulty to her being born early. She assessed her suck and it's very strong. She thinks it's only a matter of time and every day will get better.
We are to use the nipple guard for 2 more days and u an to quickly take it away while she's drinking and attempt for her to latch back on immediately. Let's hope it works! We go back again next week.
Oh, and the breastfeeding center has a breastfeeding support group that you bring your baby to and they weigh the baby before and after to see how much they are. I think I might try going once she has her shots. Although I could really use the support now, I don't really want to take her around other kids yet.
