I still don’t get my 10 week old

S

Timeline

8th April - I give birth via C-section.

18th April - I travel to my parents house and start to live with them.

18th April to 3rd may- baby and I are trying to adjust to each other. breastfeeding is getting better day by day, less pain fuller baby.

3rd may - baby gets circumcised

3rd to 7th may - hardest days ever. He wouldn’t feed properly and was in pain. (The doctor had advised to get him circumcised asap as he had mild hydronephrosis when he was born)

7th to 22nd may - recovery and more adjusting. I kept getting weird stomach aches and rib pain all the time.

22nd may - went to my gynae doc for a checkup and got to know my gallbladder is swollen and full of stones

22nd to 26th may - going to the hospital daily. The stones were moving towards the liver. Was given antibiotics that weren’t breastfeeding friendly so had to stop breastfeeding all of a sudden. Had ordered a breast pump online and didn’t receive it til then

27th may - surgery

27th to 2nd June - lots of pain and rest and helplessness. Couldn’t hold my child cuz it hurt too much. Tried breastfeeding 4-5 times. Milk supple had already tanked. Baby went thru a lot adjusting to formula milk.

4th June - power pumped for the first time

6th June - started breastfeeding all over again. Milk was low. Baby was fussy. Used formula time to time.

6th to 12th - suffering, crying.

12th to now - started taking moringa capsule to increase milk supply (yes it’s helping) Its been 2 days without the formula. His diapers did worry me a lot. Cuz usually he’d wet 4 diapers (before my surgery) but now it’s only 2. Although it’s getting better. But ig the change again and again and the low supply was causing this…

Now he wants to feed all the time. It’s like we’re back to newborn stage. He always wants the breast. Won’t take the pacifier. I don’t understand him, if he wants to feed or if he’s full only looking for comfort. Feed. I’m tired. Can’t figure out any way to help myself
