owie
so I was all ready to pump first thing this morning, I woke up with my right
breast feeling achy, which seems to be just a case of it being fuller than it has been for a while, Ada fed, which reduced that feeling slightly, then it was pump time, which got me same as yesterday less than an ounce between breasts! Also my right nipple is swollen and tender, which is always how it responded to pumps, I started out with inverted nipples, that popped out easily. with the suction from a pump my nipples end up being drawn from the horns, right down the tubes and for whatever reason my right nipple dislikes this significantly more than my left! I think what I need to do is let this calm down, but then before feeding Ada again have a good bash at hand expressing, which may well be in the bath. Another thing to consider is pumping whilst Ada is feeding, which is going to be very hard, she's wriggly at the best of times! I have some domperidone, resulting from a bout of nausea a while back, so in a few days I may try taking that, to see if I can up my supply enough so it's just impossible for the milk not to come out when a pump and then allow that to kick start things. Nathanael goes to the hospital on the 7th, I won't discuss this then as I don't want them to think I'm insane, but I will listen carefully and if they express concern for him getting sick then I will redouble efforts, which I suppose may include hiring a hospital grade pump, but if we're going to do that it's going to have to wait until October when we arrive in Seattle.
