Just checking to see how everything is going!

Still pumping .. and taking reglan and fenugreek to boost supply .. what the helll, right?  If I'm still pumping might as well make the most of it!  I am recovered from mastitis but still itchy possibly thrushy/yeasty (courtesy mastitis antibiotics..) - honestly I think I will be (itchy/yeasty) until I dry up - and because of this I don't expect to ever get him back on the boob, but it's OK.  I had secretly hoped I would but it's just not meant to be.  New short term goal is 12 weeks .. and then after that, we'll see.  I'd love to get him to 6 months with at least some breastmilk every day - but I don't know if I can deal with itchy boobs that long so I'm sticking to just setting short term goals.

How is everything going with you??

I say if you're going to pump, you might as well make the best of it and smell of maple syrup! I took Fenugreek all last week and DH randomly asked one night what I had made with maple syrup in it.  He had no clue it was going to make me smell like that  

Things are going okay.  I'm yeasty again (us girls can't have a normal BFing life), so it makes it NICE to BF.  I'm convinced that the pump or Lansinoh cream is causing the problems.  I had to EP last week because of Maya's weight gain (or lack thereof) and the last time I EP'ed I ended up with yeast.  I don't get it, but oh well. Maya has had latch issues again going from bottle to breast, but that's getting better.

I honestly think she likes eating from the bottle better, but I'm not sure how dedicated I would be to EPing.  Maybe I'm being selfish.  I'm mostly BFing this week (with one or two bottles/day) and I'm going to see how she does with weight gain this week. We go back again Monday for another weight check. She gained 7 ozs last week. She weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces on Monday
