supply is suddenly abundant :-)

I have posted several times about how hard bf is and how my kid is
constantly on the breast, so I am very excited to post that (knock on
wood) we are past that hurdle. For the past few days every feeding is
not egregiously long anymore, and just this morning to my amazement I
was able to pump 2.5 oz which may not be much to some, but it's more
than I've ever pumped before and I used to exclusively pump for my
first dd; meaning no bf, but I did have to give her formula because I
didn't pump enough.

I probably could have pumped more. It just kept coming, but 2.5 oz
was more than we need. I usually just pump 1.5 oz every morning to
use when out and about running errands to tide my baby over when it is
inopportune to bf her since I am no good at hiding my breasts when NIP
yet.

I did just start taking chasteberry a few days ago because someone
else said their supply went up noticably when they took it, so I read
up on it and in small doses it increases supply and in large doses can
decrease supply, so I am just taking 1 pill and I think it may be
working. I also just got my thyroid medicine increased, so that could
be what changed things too. Either way, I'll take it.

Yay! Glad I could help.

Now *I* just need to remember to take the agnus castus every day!

Hello,

Congratulations! How long did it take to get to the point where you got
2.5 oz?

Thanks,

Let's see, her post showed her daughters birth as 5/18/03, so I would guess
about 10 weeks.

That's my problem - not paying enough attention to the sig area.
thanks,
Ben

It was only 10 minutes with a double pump.
