Galactagogue Diaries: 24 hour log #1

today is one of the first days of trying to increase milk supply. thats a fib, im about 5 days in i'd say.

fenugreek, blessed thistle, oatmeal and a HEAVY increase in pumping. no full sessions at the breast. maybe one or two minutes here and there. but its mostly pumping.

i decided to do a log so i can show you an account of how long its taking me to rebuild supply.

im a night owl, and i know prolactin levels are higher at night, so i stayed up late last night.

230am: 3.75 ounces (this was in two pumping sessions from 1-230am)

600am: 5 ounces

1000am: 4 ounces

200pm: 2 ounces

300pm 1.75 ounces

515pm: 2.75 ounces

650pm: 2 ounces

830pm: 3 ounces

1030pm: 1.5 ounces

1130pm: 1.25 ounces

100am: 2.5 ounces

total in 24 hours: 29.5 ounces.

im gonna continue with the log keeping. maybe this will be a good example of how quickly milk supply is increased. all i know is its hard to see 29.5 and be ecstatic about it. but who knows, maybe i didnt even break 25 yesterday or something...

we shall see!
