hey ladies...

when I was in the hospital the nurses had me pump all my milk...I started with a great supply! I had over 40 bottles pumps and stored...then the doctors made me dump it all out b/c of the pain meds and anestheia I was on from the gall bladder surgery 3 days after. So before I left I got 15 bottles pumped...then they told me to stop pumping and just let madeline eat on demand. I now feel like my supply is dropped significantly. Do you all think I should pump again...Feels like she isnt getting enough at times and kinda makes me nervous. talked to her dr. and they have us on weekly weigh in appts. to make sure she is gaining enough weight. She was 5 14 upon discharge of the hospital saturday and 6 3 on monday at the appt.

The nights are really tough right now. She wakes at midnight and I am so tired I just put her to my breast and go to sleep and then wake when she wakes for a breast change. and she stays there all night...then I get so tired I just get her a pumped bottle and feed her that until she passes out and put her in her bassinett. I am now getting low on pumped milk and its easier to give a bottle then breast at night. I am just caught for what I should do now...any ideas?
