Hi all,
So I have a problem. So far, I have had enough milk for both boys. The last two days I have been coming up with less milk though. I am pumping about 4oz less than before. Still pumping a Hugh amount but it scared me. So I figured I could give Alastair one bottle if formula or wcm a day and the rest bm. Well. He refused both. Like throwing a fit of rage refusing. So far so good. I can always make him drink water or whatnot, but he used to drink both just fine before he got breastmilk.
What do I do now? Do I start mixing? Do I ride it out hoping my supply is going back up? Wwyd?
Also, any suggestions on maybe increasing supply again? I do eat oatmeal, drink huge amounts of water, I made lactation cookies, have not changed anything pumping wise. I mean there is no real issue yet, but I would love to be able to give both boys breastmilk over the winter.
Sorry for the novel!

Never even thought of that. Yuck. I had such a great run. My last period was in November 2010. Well, maybe. I sort of hope that is what it is.
This is what I was thinking. Nursing I can produce enough and she'll drink it but if I tried to pump I barely got anything and it smelled different. Less sweet.
