Breastfeeding update...
So I decided to try one more time with another endocrinologist. The first one I went to was not only a nasty piece of work, she clearly had no clue about breastfeeding. She basically told me that the problem is simply that I'm not getting enough sleep.
Right!
So, this new endo was much better, but not very hopeful that she will find an answer for me. At least this lady knew what domperidone was, and that it is frequently used for milk production. That in itself is fairly impressive, it seems! She also seemed to understand more that I really do have a real problem, not just "first time mom jitters," as that other condescending lady seemed to think. She is running a bunch more tests though and who knows? Maybe we will find something.
I have to say though, I'm not altogether too hopeful either. I have been thinking a lot about this lately, and I'm thinking now that this whole thing may have begun with our bad latch in the beginning. Or, I don't know... clearly something went wrong somewhere, from my being able to clear her jaundice easily within a week while exclusively breastfeeding, to gaining no weight at all.
So frustrating to feel like your body has almost, ALMOST got it perfectly.
I'm really hopeful for a next baby though, and I will have a hospital grade pump ready to go and be pumping every time that little baby is sleeping until I know I've established a good supply.
