Day 45

Yesterday, I pumped 5 oz and she nursed for 30 minutes...yes, we're NURSING AGAIN!!! And without the SNS. She's getting about 3 oz in the morning from me, then a 4 oz. bottle of BM. So, that brings me to about 8 oz/day now!

I'm so thankful for Domperidone. I'm on my way to providing her 2 of her 5 bottles a day now. And maybe, just maybe, if I keep this up, I can provide more BM than formula in a day. That may be a lofty goal, but I never even thought I could provide this much for her. Still taking more milk plus, fenugreek and blessed thistle.

Even if I don't make more than 8 oz, I consider this a huge success. I'm beyond thrilled that my daughter and I have a nursing relationship again. Nothing like smiles and giggles with a boobie in her mouth!

End of week 5

I've upped the domperidone to 4 pills 4x/day. Taking More Milk Plus, Fenugreek, Blessed Thistle and finishing a bottle of Goat's Rue. Not sure if I will continue it, but looking into alfalfa as well. I know, a lot of herbs, but if I can continue to increase my supply, I hope to wean off most and only take domperidone and more milk plus.

Today, I've pumped 5.5 ounces and nursed once with the SNS, bringing me up to 6 oz today! Yay! So, I'm up an ounce from last week. Yay!
