But I have made it past 5 months with Alice, and my mom is again trying to get me to stop. I have no plans to stop. And great news, we have yet to use formula with Alice, unlike Mary who I could not keep up with. I have 12 bags of milk in the freezer ranging from 4-6.5 oz, and still have enough to get her a bottle ready for Daddy in the mornings while I work (I have been averageing 12-14 oz at one pumping session 1/2 to the bottle 1/2 to the freezer), she naps during my afternoon route.

I've given Logan some formula because lately I'm having a hard time producing milk for the pump and I need 2 bottles a week for him (4-5oz each bottle) and lately I'm only getting enough in a week for one bottle maybe. I still feel full and I know there is milk in there but I can't get it out with the pump even with massaging..At least I know I'm not drying up!

L and I are going strong now 3 weeks into being a breastfeeding duo. She didn't nuse from birth and I began pumping when she was 2 days old. After hundreds of tries she finally latched on and actually sucked. It's been a long road but we're now to the point she's mostly breastfeeding and we supplement as little as possible. She does take a bottle [Thank God! Ethan never did.] and it's good she does because she only nurses laying down in a quiet room which makes NIP impossible. She's learning to ignore her loud big brother who disturbs her while she's eating.
E has voiced wanting to nurse again but he gets cow's milk[sometimes with momma milk mixed in] in a cup and lots of cuddles. Sometimes he pretends to nurse from my arm when his sister nurses. I remind him of all the big boy stuff he does that his sister can't do but he still seems to think he should get to nurse. I do not plan on ever nursing him again. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
