Wednesday night DD nursed at 2AM and I had a hard time getting her to nurse at 6:30 AM that morning. All day she was upset, crying, kicking around and would not latch. I called the doctor and they said that most likely it was gas. Okay, I thought, gas passes. In the meantime I was to give her warm water. I was so engorged that I pumped (once, out came ... a lot) and waited for her to calm down and nurse again. Did not happen, at least not really. She sucked a couple of times and that's that, more crying. I gave her the bottle of expressed BM and she drank it (a first, but not the way I wanted to experience it). And today, more of the same (ended up giving her the bottle again).
So, I started taking Zoloft on Monday of last week. Could that affect me?
Is this what they call a nursing strike?
Now, I am drinking lots and lots of water, take my supplements for healthy lactation, drink Mothers Milk Tea. Anything else I can do? (rest is not an option, have an active toddler) Of course I am scared now that my milk is going to vanish, with her not nursing as often as she should... I keep pumping, but I don't think I have the let-down effect anymore. My breasts used to tickle when the milk came and now: NOTHING
