Hi
My son has a cleft soft palate, and is unable to breastfeed. I'm expressing his milk and feeding him via a special squeezy bottle and using an SNS kit taped to the breasts. Has anyone had any success in expressing for long periods, as I am hoping to be able to actually breastfeed after his operation in 6 months time? I'm worried that the milk will dry up before this, though. I successfully breasffed dd until she was 15 months old, and am desperate to do so with ds.
Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated.
I'm trying Motherlove More Milk Plus to try and boost my milk supply as I've noticed it has been dwindling. Again, any feedback on this would be most appreciated.
Many thanks for any help anyone can give,
Vikki
