BF/BM question

frootloop

background - i had planned on BFing, but my milk didnt come in, even with domperidon prescript

she loved the boob, so once or twice a day i would put it on her, she would get the dribbles, and then finish off with formula

 there has been a few days that we skipped, but MOST evenings she gets boob... last night i put her on, and she stayed on for a half hour - not normal for her, AND i was still able to express a drop

do ya's think im starting to produce more now? or was it just a fluke? or perhaps because we had skipped the day before?

The more you pump or BF the more milk you are supposed to make. ?I think it's possible. ?She could have been just sucking to suck though??? ?

Have you tried pumping??

yea, once we figured out in the hospital that my milk didnt come in i started pumping there, and then i rented a pump when we went home ... i pumped for 2 weeks solid

the largest quantity i ever got was about 1/3 of an oz (both breasts together)

If your getting SOME milk, then doesn't that mean that your milk came in??? ?I would PUMP all the time for a while to see if maybe it did...

My LC told me to pump after every feeding. ?I would only pump for 5 minutes (double pump) each time. ?I had SOOOOOO much milk!!! ?I would fill both the containers past the 5 oz mark every time. ?It took a while though. ?At first, I only got a dribble out of each.

It's a lot of work but if you have some milk, you might be surprised! ??
