Ummm yeah, that is a bunch of Twadwaffles!!!! Let me just say that I feel I have been incredibly blessed in that I have been able to nurse my child for almost 7 months now, but you know what it has been anything but easy. Natural, umm maybe but it takes a while to get used to it. I have had to deal with one thing after another, first is was E not latching to one side, then it was an overproduction of milk & he didn't want to nurse so because of that I ended up getting mastitis which ended up in almost no milk. Since then it has been a a battle with my boobies & their lack of production during certain times of the month. For the longest time I was popping the Fenugreek pills like they were candy and drinking mothers milk tea one a day with minimal results. Well about 3 weeks ago I was in tears again because E was so angry while at the breast, hardly anything was coming out so we had to resort to formula. Well the formula only added to my frustration because he was not taking it, he would squirm around trying to get to my boob and push the bottle away. As each day passed with my supply continuing to dip I really thought it was gone, through my lactation class, I found out about Domperidome, although it is completely safe to take it's still not legal here in the US so I had to order it from Europe. I started taking it on Saturday and by Monday I woke up at 3:00 am with my boobies engorged. I woke Mark up from excitement and asked him to tell me what he felt!!!! For all of you that are thinking dirty, he correctly answered milk, then gave me a kiss, rolled over and went back to sleep! ~I love my husband :) ~ So needless to say Mr. E is back on the breast nursing like a champ! Anyway I just wanted to share the info of Domperidone with any other mommies that might be struggling with their supply. Now I leave you with pics :)

ReplyDeleteI love the new photos of E....he is such a cutie pie!!
I'm hoping to be able to still be breastfeeding when W is E's age! You are doing such a great job, and it's great that you are sticking with it even though you've faced some obstacles. Love the photos! :)
