Breastfeeding

my breasts have stopped producing milk!

My son is 2 weeks old and is not latching to my nipples, so i tried nipple Shields and he still want wanting the breast at all! I was starting to get scared and knew i had to get him food somehow, so i pulled out my hospital grade pump to get him my milk. This was within great up until 5 days ago when my left breast started to decrease in production, and now my right breast is doing the same. Over these 5 days ive also had a high fever, dizzy spells and been light headed. I try to eat full meals 3 tomes a daddy with snacks in between. I'm mainly scared that my milk supply is going to vanish before i know it, any advice?

  • Go to your doctor right now!  It sounds like you have an infection. Get  yourself taken care of.
