My supply isn't increasing as much as id hoped as fast as id hoped. Of course I'm 9 weeks out and generally after 6 its a bit more of a challenge to increase. Or so I've read :) I know its hard once baby sleeps through the night...
I made 3.75 ounces total in two pumping sessions...midnight thirty and 2am.
So I'm bustin out the big guns.
I ate this HUGE bowl of oatmeal tonight. Ill be having it for breakfast and lunch tomorrow with fruits as snacks to keep other calories in.
Raising fenugreek from 8 tabs a day to 10
And blessed thistle to 9. (Btw found a bulk deal on fenugreek and got 5 bottles with 100 tabs each for 33 bucks! Excellent! Some for me and some for baby shower gifts in my "booby baskets".
I'm gonna up my water intake and make sure I'm not too dehydrated or anything.
Loads more skin to skin.
I do breast massage. Then 20 mins pump. Then breast massage then hand expression and a little more pumping. Tedious and difficult with my newborn and a toddler. Sigh. But worth it!
If it doesn't increase some with these changes daily, I'm gonna call and ask doc for an rx for reglan, and set night alarms and go every 90 mins at night.
I love you ladies...but please make some milk!!
Night!!
