Talk about mixed emotions posts! I better not be pregnant....
So...as many of you know, BFing has been a struggle. I wanted to be an EBF, but no such luck. I didn't have anything at all until 3 1/2 weeks....when I started taking tons of natural supplements. Then I have consistently had one little ounce every 3 hours. I thought I would dry up when I went to work, but I've been able to pump 3x during my long days to keep my supply coming. I come home with a 3 ounce bottle and it makes me so happy. On Monday, I have made it 4 months...which even the lactation consultants have been surprised I have kept going. So...I've decided to add some additional supplements just to see if I could increase again. And I pumped a solid 1.5 ounces. I know this isn't much for those ladies who can pump a bottle, but this is a lot for me. The most I ever pumped. And I could cry I'm so happy. I'm looking for good lactation vibes if you have any!
