ive not been able to be super consistent with pumping (mainly because at night i keep turning off my alarms without my own knowledge....yet i wake up to her slightly smacking on her hands...weird).
sometimes my 2.5 hourly output is about 4-5 oumces, sometimes its 3-3.5. Shes not eating as much, which is weird. shes kind of colicky (ill explain my thoughts on colic later) and i think she misses the breast! the left one still has the scab and it hurts like heck, but i do put her on the right when she wants to comfort suck and she does pretty good. sometimes she gets choppy and gnaws and i have to tell her no. i feel like if she were at the breast, there would be cluster feeding. im hoping once the nips heal and i get her back on, it helps!
i have noticed that my appetite has been pretty nonexistent lately.
ive cut out dairy so my breakfasts are oatmeal and slash or fruit.
lunch is whatever i happen to find, and then i usually have a large dinner.
but its more thirst. i have drinks all the time. juice and water and whatever is around. i love quenching thirst. i had forgotten how breastfeeding makes you parched!
thats all for now.
we also just got our new medela calma so ill update with the calma review and the breastflow review in a little bit.
