My little girl is eight weeks old now, and I thought we had breast feeding more or less established. She is gaining weight well, latching well, and I've been enjoying it. I've been expressing if I get too engorged overnight.
However, over the last week or so, I've noticed that I'm getting very little milk from my right side when expressing, and it's not getting engorged. Also, DD generally needs to switch sides to fill up if I start feeding her on the right, but not if I start on the left.
I've been putting her to the right first for about four days now, but it doesn't seem to be responding by making more milk, and today I've been getting occasional stabbing pains on that side.
I just don't know what's happened or what to do, as I don't want to lose my supply.
Does any one have any experience of this, or advice for us?
