I just had my baby last Tuesday and I already feel like I'm failing as a mom. Right after my son was born I tried breastfeeding him. He had a hard time latching but everyone assured me that it would get better. Well, it hasn't. I struggled getting him to latch on properly the entire time we were at the hospital and the first day or two we were at home but now I feel like he's finally getting the hang of it. The problem now is that I'm not making enough milk. He nurses all day and all night and I've barely gotten 6 hours of sleep since leaving the hospital. I talked to my doctor and she recommended pumping in between feeding which I tried but was only able to get a couple drops. She then told me that I could supplement with formula and a syringe. I've just started doing that this afternoon and it's killing me. I feel like such a failure but I have to do this because he's dehydrated and if we don't fix that by tomorrow then we have to go back to the hospital so that he can be put on an IV. :(
