I use Mother's Milk tea that I get at GNC. I also take fenugreek and alfalfa. It worked wonders for me. My understanding is that its not really that babies suck better than a pump. Its that your body responds differently and it gets your hormones going. Jacob had trouble nursing, but I would let him...

I was on mag for 5 days. My colustrum started coming in on the third day. I think I really got a decent amount of milk around the fifth day. It just suddenly came in. Nursing didn't work because of his preemie issues. I pump exclusively. I have had to work hard to keep my supply up, but Jacob is six...

So, I guess this is more venting than anything, but any input is welcome. I got the lab results in the mail today. Its a bunch of numbers I don't really understand. It looks like my glucose levels are low, though. On the bottom of the paper they wrote "evidence of organ damage and evidence of preecl...

Thank you for the responses! I guess I am probably chronic. I had high blood pressure for a short time before pregnancy. But, I was working at a job I hated, blood pressure medicine didn't help, and it turned out that anxiety medicine did help. When I quit the job and was under less stress, my blood...

My blood pressure went up at 20 weeks, I was diagnosed with pre-e at 31 weeks, hospitalized at 33, and delivered at 34 weeks. I will be 4 months post-partum this Saturday. My blood pressure has taken a long time to settle out. My OB said that since my pre-e was so severe that was to be expected. I s...

My son was 5 lbs, 5 oz at 34 weeks. At 31 weeks he was in the 71st percentile according to an ultra sound. At 33 weeks he had dropped to the 55th percentile. So while he was still big for his age, he had stopped growing in the last couple of weeks before we delivered. I think I am chronic. I had hig...

Thank you for all of the tips! Jacob hasn't had formula in 4 days so my milk supply is on the upswing! I started eating oatmeal every day. I also started taking the herb Fenugreek. I did talk to a lactation consultant. She asked about medicine I am taking. She pointed out that one of them, micronor,...

I'm so glad he is back home with you!

So when Jacob was first born (3 weeks ago) he couldn't nurse so I started pumping. Then after 5 days, I started letting him nurse but still pumped after he nursed so that they could give him breast milk at night while I wasn't with him. I did that for 6 days and was producing way more milk than I ne...

Congratulations!
