I’m two weeks pp from a C-section. My poor baby is tongue tied so he can’t latch properly. I feel like it’s my fault. I can even hold him right to breastfeed him. It’s always an awkward position for me. Milk took 3 or 4 days to come in.
Anyway, I gave up on that and switched only to pumping. Everything was going great until two days ago. Suddenly my supply just took a massive dip. I was making 120mls per pump (he’s eating 80ml right now) now I’m only making 40-ish per pump (15mins every 2hrs)I’m supplementing with formula right now. I feel horrible and just useless. Is this normal?
I’ve only got him to feed ONCE from the nipples and that was because I went to a lactation specialist and she held him for me. My husband is being very supportive but I can’t help but feel awful and cry. I feel like I’m letting my baby down and can’t give him the best or what he needs. I’m also not doing skin to skin right now because all of a sudden I have this weird rash under my boob that started when I was a few days ago. Appeared when I first started pumping. And I’m afraid my baby’s gonna get it somehow.
Thanks for any advice.

Just had our son a week ago! Next week my parents will be flying in from TX (I’m in OR) to meet their grandson. I’m worried about them bringing germs and/or getting sick and bringing it here home. They say that they will take precautions, wear masks, Lysol their things, shower themselves, wash their clothes once here and sanitize every time they touch something. They’ve already spent over $1000 on airline tickets. Am I being paranoid or will my baby be okay? He’ll be two weeks old once they get here.

Just had my baby almost a week ago! Started breast feeding and now I have two HUGE cyst on each armpit(normally it’s one or the other m, never both). No head to either of them. Could they be caused due to my boobs being engorged? Has this happened to anyone else? Just had a C-section also, this is the last thing I needed. I was fine for the most part before I started breast feeding. Thanks!
