Hello, hello! It's officially been two weeks back at work for me and my milk supply has depleated. :( It's a little disheartening. I want the best for Madison and in this case that inludes breastmilk for her.
We called a lactation specialist today because my little rose has been stopping half way through her feeding, crying. It's the most awful thing. And she refuses to finish. She appears content and usually falls asleep shortly afterward. I gauge her feedings by timing them. Lately, her feeding time has been cut in half. The consultant we spoke with today suggested this may be because I am not pumping as much as I should be. Fortunately, I spoke with my director at work and she was so understanding. She doesn't mind if I step out for 15-20 minutes morning.
I'm trying out an herbal supplement called, "Fenugreek"..Walgreens didn't have it. My wonderful hub went and found it at GNC. If I take it 3, 3x per day supposedly my milk supply will increase. I can testify that it works! I started last night and my milk supply has doubled! This is such an answered prayer. Praise God.
My little one's alterness and vocabulary are increasing. She is so talkative during her waketime. She fell asleep while eating dinner tonight and woke herself up by giggling. :)
