    Thats great news hun. If you want to carry on feeding why don't you try eating oats and taking fenugreek. I have some spare fenugreek if you would like them pm me your address and i will post them to you. They increase your supply, you take 3, 3 times a day. I think you take them for 3 days but i just take them when my supply feels low. Also keep putting lo to breast as much as possible this will tell your body you need more milk.

    I'm so happy for you.

    Big hugs

    I feel for you, you should be proud of yourself that you tried and did your best

    I feel the same as i had to stop bf because i am on medication now, it was such a struggle to establish bf, and now i cant wait to stop medication so i can hold my baby very clost to my chest and let my wonderful baby to smell me and i smell him

    pls dont be sad, hug, kiss and smell your baby and you will be flying with happiness surely

    Dont be hard on yourself you have managed 7 weeks which is fantastic your baby has had all that goodness. I am on my 3rd and still bf at 14 wks with my first 2 i managed 5wks and 6wks and i too was upset but girls never seemed settled and full whereas this time with my little boy he is happy and always settled. I do think it is down to each individual baby and how bf goes.  xxx

    Oh hun,

    You have done so well! you should be proud of yourself. The first 6 weeks are the worse, and you managed to do 7. Don't feel bad, be proud of yourself. I know its upsetting to stop, i went through this with my oldest. Once your settled in to routine and your fully rested you will feel better.

    I'm not sure if you have been told this or not but the pill can reduce your milk supply. That may be causing some of your feeding problems. 

    You do whatever makes you feel happy.

    HAPPY MUMMY = HAPPY BABY

    Good luck

    but im having to stop breastfeeding-due to exreme bleeding from the mini pill and general tiredness my milk jus isnt enough-ive tried rest,putting her there- constantly but i cant have a unhappy hungery baby anymore.ive done almost 7 weeks rather than 7 mins like my last lo.and im going to miss her.i guess i dont want any advice as ive tried it all.my body is really effected by tiredness ect and has let me down.never thought id be so sad as it was such a struggle in the beginning.also think she has relux and terrible colic which hasnt helped.im hjus glad i did try this time......
