Am I doing okay??

Question

Had my daughter not even 24 hours ago, she was born with a lip tie like my son and I can’t nurse her I’m already bleeding from trying the last 15 hours. So I decided to pump and taking her to get it revised next week. I have pumped now 2 times first time I got 23 ML second time I got 10ML. Is that normal and how much should baby be eating?

Answer

Yes that’s normal and enough for your baby. That’s how much I pumped the first week. It’s important to try to keep nursing/pumping every 2 hours or so to keep your supply.

Answer

You're doing great!

Answer

Can I just point out that your nipples bleeding may not be her lip tie. Mine bled aswell and they were like it for about a week or two because my skin just wasn’t use to it. Keep trying. I know it’s painful but it’s so worth it. Get some lanolin cream. She’s beautiful! Keep going mama. Go with your instincts aswell!
