Re-Lactation Day 13

Day 13 (Sept 27 2010)
*we missed a few days*
3pm and i already have a full 6oz bottle in the fridge. we have been making 6oz bottles for a couple days now, (missed a few updates)
so today i managed to pump a full 6oz bottle plus 3 extra ounces so im already half way to tomorrows bottle already so 2 bottles tomrorow you think? (last pump about 6:30)

well she will have at least a 4oz (from tonight she didnt end up finishing it before her bedtime, and she had formula at 5:30 and finished 2.5 ounces of it JUST before her bath. (she went down about 7:30 almost 8. we have tried to move her bedtime to 7pm rather then 8 mommy and daddy need some time. and then the 6 oz bottle she would normally have

so i still have about 2 more pumps to do tonight so i should be pretty close to having a full 6oz bottle before the end of the night.

so currently in the fridge i have 13 WHOLE ounces. WOOHOOO

the cookies seem to have made a little bit of a difference. and brewers yeast in milk (like it tells you to have it) is NASTY. i had it in my oatmeal. so well will see if that helps any.

we are still having trouble getting Samantha to relax enough to latch, she FREAKS everytime i try. i can get her to latch but then she wont suck and pop right off. i know there is milk there now so i know if she latched and sucked she would get it. the SNS isnt working yet and its difficult to run it and worry about Samantha thrashing about. im going to call the hospital tomorrow to see if i can meet with the LC they have on staff since i didnt get to see her in the hospital (Samantha was born on a Saturday and she isnt there on the weekends) we will keep working at it but i have a feeling i wont get her to get back to the breast but breastfeeding doesnt mean being at the breast.

 i ordered some more domperidone. since inhousepharmacy is going from a .com domain to a .biz they are having a 10% discount for october. so instead of paying 50 bucks so 48 after their 2 dollar discount, i paid 50 but with a 10% which was 5 bucks off so 45 bucks which is totally awesome!
