but as time presses on i feel depressed, discouraged and even rejected by my baby as she refuses my breast.
is it the reflux? is it nipple confusion? is it nipple preference? is it the taste of my milk from hormones? i have no answers right now.
but my supply is down. shes on a bottle and i have been pumping very very frequently.
EP mommies have SUCH dedication.
they commit to their babies health even when they have to excuse themselves from company to pump...pump in the car before and after events or on trips. they have to pump at certain times. trake supplements to keep supply up. set alarms to pump at night. spend twice as much time as a mother who feeds of the breast. they have to pump and store milk, make the bottles and feed the baby, and sanitize and clean parts of the pump. its a labor of love, and something those women do for their babies. there is NOTHING easy about EP. NOTHING negative that should be said. its a wonderful and inconvenient but SO WORTH IT practice.
that said, ill go into more later, but if you are an EP mommy and need some help with supply, watch the video here:
i have done it at 3 pumpings and have gotten WAY more than i was before!
good luck mommas.
be VERY proud of yourself.
