    You are very sweet to check on me!

    I started with the oatmeal, and it's been a couple days. Today, I pumped 3 oz in one shot which has never happened in 6 weeks of pumping. I don't know when I will ever get time to power pump, to be honest. I wish I'd done that while he was in the NICU. Right now, it's nearly impossible to get 15 mins every 3 hours. He has an uncanny ability to just know when I need to pump.

    I am now doing 80/20 with MBM mixture and formula for each feed, just to stretch my milk out. I am hoping I start producing a little more going forward. But alas, he is now eating more. Just out of nowhere, little piggie. I hope this gives us a good weight gain at the next weight check.

    Hope you had a great weekend!

    yahoo!  Go MrsMVM!

    also, try pumping while you feed him.  I cross my legs, put Gabe in the crook of my legs and pump using a hands free bra and I feed him.  

    Sounds like you are doing awesome!

    YES and YES! 

    I use the Boppy to prop up both of my guys and pump.  Here's the hands-free bra I have:

    It's worth every penny!

    Thanks you guys! I will try that. I have a bustier. I will let you know what happens.

    All I know is that I am so thankful to know be making 2 oz or so more than what he is eating right now. That is huge for me.
