    Hi There,

     It's me!  I EP'ed for about 3 months and stopped for 1.5 months.  When I decided to relactate, I started taking Domperidone, drinking Mothers Milk Tea and pumping like crazy.  I got milk within a week and at the two week point I started to feel that my milk was "coming in".  However, that was this week and we are shooting a TV show with my kids so I'm not able pump as much as I should be so my supply isn't great.  I will be pumping on a better schedule this week again and I'm pretty confident that I will be able to increase my supply.

    Also, I just started taking more milk plus so I'm hoping to see an increase i that.  One of my LO's nursed last night for about 10 minutes!  I was so excited that he took to it.  They aren't very interested so anytime they'll go to my breast is a HUGE bonus to my supply.

    GL- we can be relactation buddies :)

    I've been thinking about doing this and can't decide if it would stress me out. I lost my milk supply about 3 weeks ago for various reasons. The extra time not pumping is great, but I still cry everytime I see one of my nursing bras!

    Maybe if we had someone to vent to....I think going back to work killed my supply.

    I used to cry everytime I pumped and did not get enough for each feeding.  I was giving 75% EBM and 25% Formula.  I thought I was a complete failure.

    This time, I have no expectations about supply- any BM is better than none.  It's very possible that I may end up making more than enough but if I don't, I'm OK with that- I'll give them what I can.  I find this has helped me tremendously- I just took the pressure off myself.

    Wow thanks girls! I'm so glad you actually found this post.  DH and I are taking a few days to really think about this, as it is a big step but I am really all about it.  I will try pumping, as DS does not want any part of the breast, ha maybe that will change.  I'm on the same boat, anything would be great, I don't expect it to be a huge supply!  Well, I hope it works out for all three of us!  Post for me on 0-6 if you want!  As I only have one little guy, and I'll come over here if I have any questions and to check in.  Thanks!! Your little ones are adorable.
