Wooohoooooo momma!!

Dev had real issues eating in the beginning (pumped for weeks). Try to offer the breast as often as you can. The biggest help I found when having latch issues was to offer the breast BEFORE late hunger cues (before crying, fussing, etc). Does he make mouthy movements? root? suck fingers? Offer the breast then. If you think he may be hungry, offer it. I promise, you will soon develop that 6th sense that will tell you he's about to get hungry.

Lot's of light heading your way.

My doc also said that I may not get a full supply, but I believe I will.

That is SO important...what you truly believe your body can and will do. People don't realize how much the brain plays in things like healing, growing, pain...it's amazing.

I am so happy that it's going so well for you. It's amazing. I'm so stoked after reading your post!
