These two are going to eat us out of a home!

Lillie and Katie are both just like their big sister and are milk monsters.  Since I have been EPing I can't get even 1/2 the milk for each of their feedings.  I have tried oatmeal, fenugreek, tons of water but I can't seem to get more than 3 -4 oz every three hrs.  Now that the girls are in daycare they are eating more as they are growing.  This week each girl has downed 36oz a day each!  6 oz bottles every three hours on the dot.  We tried to give more but they end up spitting up or not wanting more than 6 at the moment.  I know that between 3-4 months Maddie was downing 42+ oz a day and STTN, they are not regulary but have on occassions.  I had hoped to hold off on solids until 6 months this time (had to at 4 months with Maddie).  The thing is Maddie still at 20 months will take in 32 oz of whole milk a day.

Wow, that's a lot of milk!  Ours aren't eating quite that much, but I'm also having a hard time keeping up with their demands.  Yesterday I started a new supplement I heard about on the breastfeeding board called Go Lacta.  I'll let you know if it works!  I currently pump about 45 oz and day and I'm hoping to get up to at least 60...it sounds impossible, but we'll see.

I wish I could get 45 oz!  I am doing good getting 25oz a day and that is pumping a few times every 2 hrs.
