Feeding update

[alexist]

Well, the supplements haven't worked, and neither has the domperidone. No improvement at all. So, 5 and a bit weeks, I reckon enough is enough. If I were getting something it would be worth it, but I'm lucky to pump a teaspoon. I think something went wrong hormone wise--heck, I never even had to buy new bras during pregnancy. (I'm still wearing the ones I had before I got pregnant!)

Only plus side is I can go back on metformin. I'm starting to suspect that being off it for 6 months may play some part in my current sugar addiction...

Meanwhile, Aliza is now staying up for much longer periods--shame she's being very fussy! She wants to be held all the time...

You gave it all you could, and that's all anyone can ask for. On the plus side, your breasts won't get any smaller from weaning.

I went from a C cup to a D cup (which made me very happy!), but then down to a flatish sort of B cup afterward (not so happy).

Oh well

I know you worked so hard--sorry it isn't improving like you had hoped. All you can do is try and you certainly did! Your daughter will be happy and healthy on formula like millions of other babes.
