my lactation appointment

YAY My LO weighs 7lbs 6 oz. I am so proud of myself, I only had to supplement twice a day. And if i can just get my pumping going, than I won't need the stupid formula anymore
Anyway, I just wanted to share some stuff that the lactation lady gave me.
She told me it wasn't a supply issue or that DD wasn't a good latcher, it was just that nobody had taught us how to correctly BF.
She said, that DD is a tiny bit tongue-tied, but not enough to make it difficult for her to latch or feed correctly. She also said to keep using the nipple shield, and worry about her gaining weight, before worrying about weening her off of it.
So, she gave me a paper with a bunch of informational websites, I really didn't look at all of them, but I thought I would share all of them anyway:
Dr. Jack Newman - Canadian Pedi, latching videos, breast massage/compression

Dr. Jane Morton - Pumping

Dr. Brian Paler - Dentist

Hope that some of these help anyone having trouble, or wanting more information.
