We are doing better, and so is my supply!  I haven't done anything actually but drink a ton of water and pump pump pump!  But good lord, it feels like my milk coming in for the first time AGAIN!  Its so damn painful.  

I actually broke my rib this week as well coughing (I"ve had these coughing fits).  I think my larger breasts now are making my rib hurt more :( :(. 

But at least we are all doing better and Leo's back on a 100% breast milk diet :):)


So, my whole house has been killed by the noravirus.  We are all sick...started with me last night.  I spent the night in the bathroom and wasn't able to hold down even water until late this morning.  I tried pumping every 4 hours in the bathroom to keep my supply up, but I only did a little bit because I didn't want to risk dehydrating myself!!

But, now my supply is near null :/.  I know fenugreek is good to get your supply (and tons of water) but what else?  What can I take together?  I NEED MASSIVE HELP!

So proud of all I have....My big boy Caden and my little Leo.

Blessed thistle is supposed to help
You can order "More milk Special Blend" from motherlove on amazon
thats what I take and I def see a difference on the days i forget to take it
It has fenugreek, blessed thistle and a bunch of other stuff in it (I hated takeing just fenugreek)

This!  Supply changes all the time.  Push fluids and pump often to get it back up.   Be sure to drink everytime you pump.
