I always had issues BFing my children. It drives me crazy to this day! I will probably NOT have any more children, but for my minds sake, I wanted to know if there is any *medical* term to explain this. I would first nurse arround the clock and make sure I had adaquate fluids, then my babies would all drop the normal "pound" of body weight at the one week check up. I would tell the doctors about my issues with nursing and take home a hospital grade pump. suppliment with fenugreek, and then I would for two weeks or more nurse, pump, nurse, pump... I felt like a machine!! In the end, I have always had to give it up becuase my babies all lost WAY too much weight and I couldn't handle it anymore!
I have ran into ladies who have similar experiences. Sooo, I am just curious.. is there a real MEDICAL concept out there that describes this as a condition?
Any comiseration is appreciated!
