Sarah, that sounds just like us. I've gotten rid off dairy again and he's back to feeding pretty well. I am feeding more or less exclusively on one side for a few hours but find that i have to top up a little bit with the right breast if it's a feed before sleep situation as he doesn't get enough from the left one.
thanks for your advice.
Mscheerful- i completely agree with your advice to tell myself 'one more day' and to do it again the next day. It's exactly how i got this far after some problems at the beginning. It's amazing the pressure it takes off if you allow yourself the thought of quitting but tell yourself you'll give it another day before making a decision. It's probably the best advice you could give a new to breastfeeding mother- aside from latching techniques of course.
