Today is July 5th and here is an update on how re-lactating is going. Not too bad. I haven't been as good about pumping as I should be, we did go to the beach Sunday July 1st and pumping there was harder then I thought it would be. So I enjoyed the beach. I pumped when I could and that was fine, right now I have to get my body back in the habit of pumping. the first few days it was brutal. I hadn't pumped in 2 months and my nipples were so sore and I wasn't getting anything when I pumped. Now I am getting drops. :) I know But I am really happy that I am getting anything at all.
I started taking fenugreek 3 pills, 3times a day and I bought some mothers milk tea and plan to drink 5 cups a day to help. I also plan to eat oatmeal in the morning I have upped the water I am drinking and have a log book that I am keeping track of when, how long, and how much I pump as well as what baby is eating.
The boys seem okay with me pumping, and Kevin was good with it and hasn't been crazy about "why are you not pumping?" so it been nice.
Well I'll be back soon with another update.
