I was one of those lucky mums that breastfeeding came naturally and quite easy to me (may be the only perk of having E cup boobs). I mean, Billie was feeding within minutes of delivery and had her first proper feed whilst in recovery. However that went down hill quite quickly when I developed pneumonia. I was getting drilled by my health nurse, doctors and midwives that I had to breast feed. And I definitely wanted to! But between my extreme dehydration and the medications I was on, my milk supply didn't have a chance unfortunately. But I did find these tips extremely helpful in stretching my supply and increasing a diminishing supply.
