I have a 5 week old and we've never established a good nursing routine. After 3 weeks of work, i finally got him to latch good, and like the breast, but i have poor supply and can't seem to get a good let down, so of course i've had to supplement. I haven't pumped as often as I should because I also have a 2.5 year old to care for. After working with a Local LC we've determined that i need to get my thyroid checked out and also, maybe seek the help of a chiropractor for let down issues (I had a spinal cord injury when i was 18 and she thinks that the back and neck pain that i have could be hindering the let down). Anyone have experience with this? What can i do in the mean time to help with the let down? I want this to work so much! Help!
