Update on my relactation process

rynalicia

So, I am approaching two weeks this weekend of trying to relactate.  I feel like a milking cow!  Good news is, I'm getting milk!  Not much, but it is increasing everyday!  I am pumping pretty much every two hours, although I dont pump past 11.

I am using fenugreek & I smell like maple syrup

Three days ago I was actually able to feed my son expressed milk, albeit it was about an 1/8 an ounce.  Today though it was a quarter!!!

I can't believe how excited I get, my husband was like, should I be clapping?  ha, anyway I would love to be able to even work up to one bottle a day, but would love even more!!

 

Thanks for all the support, and it is possible, I just might need encouragement to keep going every once in a wihile

Have you tried mother's milk tea with the fenugreek?  I've never tried it, but heard it helps. 

Good luck!

I actually couldn't find that, but picked up mother maid tea today from babies r us, so hoping that it increases it a little.

Best wishes!!  I hope you can up your supply and get your DS a bottle a day-- great goal!

Are you working with a LC or LLL?  They might even be more helpful.

That is so awesome! Can you talk to your doc about getting an Rx for domapine or regalan? (not sure of the spelling)

Agree with pp - you need reglan or domperidone!!  You need something to give you a REAL boost to reward all of this hard work.  Call your OB and get a scrip.  Reglan worked great for me. You'll see a very fast result.  Good luck!!!

For Pete's sake get yourself an Rx for domperidone! Don't mess with the fenugeek. Do you know that in the blind trials fenugeek scored exactly the same as the placebo? Domperidone works, it is there to be used!?

Ditto on the domperidone.  You dont have to get an Rx just order from www.inhousepharmacy.com.  its also known as motillum.  Seriously dont waste your time with Reglan.   I've taken both and I wish I would have know about the dom earlier.  Good luck to you!
