I've nursed LO 2x a day since the first appt with the LC. It's hard to gauge how well it's going. At first, I was trying to look at it like LO should've eaten 4oz by bottle at this feeding but only ate 3oz, maybe he got an oz. But after a few nursing attempts, LO's eating patterns are erratic and I'm not sure how good of a gauge that is.

We had our best nursing session yet, he was latched well with audible swallowing for two 8 minute stretches. He popped off in the middle for about a minute, just kinda chilled out on the pillow then latched right back on. My nipples weren't flattened by him, though there was a little bit of initial latch pain, which subsided in about 5-10 seconds.

The LC said to just work with one side right now, the side that produces more (so he doesn't have to work so hard to get milk). He pretty much drained the left side, I was only able to pump 20cc (usually get 2-2.5oz).

I'm anxious to follow up and see how his weight gain is and see how much he's able to transfer with the weigh-feed-weigh. I feel like we're making progress but I want her to confirm it with the numbers.
