Hi
I am a recently qualified IBCLC setting up in private practice. I got a
call from a woman who wants to start breastfeeding her 2 week old baby. (
I have her permission to ask my colleagues). This is her 2nd baby , didnt
breatfeed her first.
The detail are: 35 week gestation baby , now day 14, bottle-feeding
formula , she didn't express , tried to latch her on a few times but got
no support. Now she regrets it and wonders wheather to try again.
Baby "latched on" last night . She feels she has some milk as her left
breast is engorged and a bit sore. The baby is rooting towards the breast
and looks as if she really wants to breastfeed.
Has anyone experienced this? What is the best protocol to follow? A SNS?
Domperidone? How long will it take?
Thank you
Nicola
