Lauri what hard work to be pumping prior to going to work. At least though you are still able to breastfeed yours. At about week four, I got mastitis on my right side and everything completely dried up. One breast does not produce enough for two babies, so that is when we began supplementing with formula. My doctor gave me Reglan to help increase production, but nothing ever happened again on the right side. Now at seven and a half weeks, Maura and Brody are completely forumla fed. They are taking 4-5 ounces 7x each day because they still wake up at 3am to feed in the night. We are paying about $350/month to feed them right now!!! It is crazy expensive, so even though it is tedious work stick with it as long as possible!!
All of the March babies are just adorable. It is tough to think that this time last year we were all going to IVF appts to get started on the meds. How amazing God is!!!!
Happy Late Mother's Day to all ladies!! Wasn't it just awesome!!
