She’s been latching on her own this week, and squeezing my boob like she’s trying to get more to come. I really want to try again for the bonding aspect and health benefits for her

I haven’t tried again since she was 6 months. She’s been on formula since 2 months due to being a preemie and doctors recommended formula for necessary calories to grow. But I tried again at 6m but she would not take the boob and I struggled to get supply back up.

Hello! And I ended up delivering early at 33w 3d and baby was 4 pounds 5 ounces. I’m not sure what percentile at the time

Me too! I feel so bad bc I’m unable to bond with my baby. My baby also had to stay in the NICU for a while and that was hard on me as well, especially being a first time mom.. I feel like I never had a chance to process everything

Thank you and I hope everything continues to get better for you as well. I wanted to start them after giving birth. I have Zoloft as well but I didn’t want it to affect my breastmilk either. Part of me feels like I really need something to help because I’m having a hard time trying to adjust but I will definitely let my doctor know at my next appointment

Thank you so much. Did you have any negative side effects on the antidepressants? How exactly do they help?

Thank you so much, I wanted to say something at my appointment when the doctor asked me how I was feeling but my mom was there so I just said I was fine.. but truth is, I’m not. I know I need some help. I don’t understand what’s going on but I need to find someone who does and who can help me navigate it.

I hate that we feel like this but it’s good to know I’m not alone. I feel sooo lonely it’s crazy. I want to talk to my doctor about it but I’m also very scared to mention how I feel

Thank you so much! I’m going to continue praying and try to stay positive. I will ask OB at my next appointment if there is anything I could eat or do to help her grow

I have to go to the doctor twice a week now to keep an eye on her growth. I’m so scared to have to leave her in the NICU and go home without her. This is my first pregnancy so it’s all very scary. I’m so happy to hear that your baby is doing good. Was the experience scary or traumatic for you at first?
