It's Never too late!

I wanted to share my story of Breastfeeding. My daughter (baby #3) was born 8/2 at 10lbs. At the hospital we struggled and fought for breastfeeding. Because I wasn't able to nurse my other 2,

  I figured last baby (that's my plan but whatever God has planned) fight like heck! Her blood sugar levels dropped, so we supplement with formula. After 3hrs with a nursery nurse, she latched. We went home and continued to struggle for supply and successful latch. Finally after 1.5wks we decided it was over. We thought "My body just wasn't meant to breastfeed", as I failed with the other 2 too.
One of my friends who is a Midwife (Renea) talked with me, and helped us through decisions. She also noted she had a lip tie and tongue tie. She asked if we would be interested in having her evaluated for lip tie or tongue tie. She helped me restart my supply, and practice latching.
We did a week of this, and then she introduced me to Cathy, a International Board certified lactation consultant. She came to my house Monday (8/8), she spent time with me and my daughter, evaluating everything from her to me. She set up a plan to continue increasing my milk and successful latching. Since that appointment I have pumped and had my daughter latching and bringing milk down. We still are having her evaluated for tongue tie, but she is doing great. We've managed to have several latches and pumped about an ounce since Monday. 

But this is to all the mama's it is NEVER TO LATE! Talk about your issues, support one another and most important: Look into lactation consulting. I pray this encourages all mama's out there, to keep fighting and get help when you feel like something isn't right.
