I didn't even register it as trauma until the Lactation consultant said this.

We scared the crap out of the recovery nurses. We had SO MUCH trouble nursing Liz, we really did yell when I was able to shoot milk 20 minutes after a c-section.

I took meticulous notes on when and how long I nursed/pumped. I have graphs. My mom grounded me to bed and brought me dinner.

There's a lot of snake oil offered to women who are trying to increase their milk production.

You can also throw the pumping equipment in the freezer instead of sterilizing it.

I’d struggle to nurse her for about an hour and then she’d drink 80ml of formula while I pumped 20 more milliliters of milk. It took over two months before I was able to feed her just with nursing and we still supplemented with formula until she switched over to solid food. Now I truly understand wet nurses. Not everyone is able to produce enough to feed their baby.
