As for the reflux meds, they are a Godsend to us. Knock on wood, Garrett is almost 3 weeks now without any apnec spells....no turning blue for little man!! I find he is spitting up more and that makes me happy as I know he is not choking on it...whew. Oh, the pediatritian told us that reflux reaches its peak at 4 months so hang in there ladies, we are halfway there!! (Or at least almost). Oh, Garrett also sleeps at a 30 degree angle and we hold him upright for for 30 min after feedings.
How do you know how much fenugreek to take? I want to go buy some. I am getting enough milk to feed Garrett but I would like to be getting extra for freezing. I am kinda in competition with myself to see how much extra I get a day!!
Garrett is still swaddled although its not as tight as we used to do it...he likes to kick his legs and move his arms so we don't restrict him too much.
Well, we have a doctors appt. to get to...anxious to see how much my little Pork Chop weighs!! |
So happy to hear that the meds are working for him. Turning blue would just freak me out.
I am in the same boat...trying to stock up on some milk so that someone else...anyone else...lol...can feed her and I can go out...or just sleep once in a while. My friend brought me some Mother's Milk tea...it has fenugreek in it...and she said it helped her and I should see more milk production in 2-3 days. I just started it yesterday so I will let you know. It does not taste too bad either. I am not sure how much to take of the pill form.
What time do you pump? Do you pump after a feeding?
I have been pumping around 7am when Olivia sleeps later, and I usually get about 3 oz wich is just one feeding that DH gives her at night time. Now I need to figure out another time to pump to freeze and get a supply going. I am just not sure when to do it, as I don't want to pump out her next meal.
Who the heck ever said BF'ing was easy? It sure is complicated to me!
