It was difficult at first but with the nurse consultant he latched on . My milk has increased, but I do not have a full supplu. At first O was able to feed him with on the Lact-aid , then I think he must of had nipple confusion, so I switched to the Lactaid after 4 days and he sucking better. I am extremely busy getting his passport and birth certificate thus I do not have a lot of time to pump , maybe once a day. Do I still have to pump since I am using the Lact-aid ? My milk is fine in fact it has increade. Yasta Mom to three boys. Jeremiah born 7/30/04 6.4 pounds 20 inches

I suppose it would be better for your supply if you pumped after feeding your son, but frankly for me it became too much of a hassle with caring for a newborn and running after passport etc. shortly after Emma was born. I'm still feeding her with the lact-aid and she is doing really well. She'll be two months on Sunday. Love, Chris mom to Emma, born June 15th, 2004

Get through the stressful time you are in and then see if you can add a few pumping sessions in after feeding. It will help even then. The more stimulation the more milk you produce. You both are doing great.
