I just can't seem to give up. I keep trying. I keep going after solutions. And now, I keep drinking this gawd-awful tasting prolactation tea in yet another effort to get effortless milk supply in. *Generously donated by Tara at Prolactation to see if it will help - thank you Tara*
So what's that now; a prescription for domperidone, rental each and every month of a hospital grade pump, water water water water water, and the same damn oatmeal every single morning. Sheesh. I hate eating the same food over and over every day. But I've tried going without and believe me, it's a noticeable reduction without the oatmeal!
I don't know who it is that says breastfeeding is the cheap option for feeding your children. All the above adds up in costs and I am still buying and using formula too!
(To be fair, if I had only one child, I would now have enough milk for her, but unfortunately, I still don't have enough for two.)
The babies are now 5 months old, and I am a tenacious, gritty, hell-no I won't go kinda momma.
Now, let me go choke down some more of this tea to see if it will work wonders...
Oh man that's a flashback for me http://thedaveye.blogspot.com/2010/10/breastfeeding.html I partially bfed my twin boys until 6 months. Let me tell you, when you come out the other end you'll feel so much better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post - it should be shared with many. That book sounds great too. Yes, I wish I had been more mentally prepared for this journey too, but I have learned a lot along the way. No finite end date in sight for my breastfeeding journey, but starting to finally feel great about the effort and what I have managed to do to now.
