During my twin pregnancy, I prepared myself for things I didn't want: preterm birth (made it to 36 wks), c-section(got a vaginal birth), but I never dreamed that I would breastfeed for less than a year. Well, the babies were born not really latching. So, I've had to use a nipple shield & pump with the rented symphony every 3 hours. The babies now latch sometimes & I rented a baby weigh scale To know what they eat. I have been working my butt off for 6 weeks & I think I may have to quit. I am exhausted & am struggling with low supply & babies that can't nurse well. I have been to a breastfeeding clinic 3 x, had a Lc come to the house & talked to 2 other Lc's on the phone. The LC's say it will eventually work. The MD @ the clinic said it may or may not work & that my supply is low due to things out of my control: delivering 4 wks Early, anemia, pre eclampsia, babies that didn't latch early on, etc. I am so heartbroken & exhausted & feel like I am not enjoying my babies as much as I should....Not sure what I should do.
