Day 47

Sorry I haven't posted in a while..

I am averaging about 7.5 ounces a day. That's pumping about 5-6 times daily. And the right side seems to produce a little more than the left side.

I also haven't been taking much domperidone. It's more of a forgetting thing than anything else. I was wondering if my supply would tank without it, but I seem to be doing OK so far. I won't take any tomorrow and will see what happens.

Day 41

According to bobohelper.com, I am getting about 6 ounces a day now.

A new development.. I leaked in bed this morning. That was the first time that has happened.

Day 39

I've decided it was time to start keeping track of output. So I'm using bobohelper.com. If you haven't heard of it, it's really great. It helps you keep track of your pumping schedule, as well as your child's schedule, milestones, etc.

Day 38

I was just whining two days ago about how my supply is slowly increasing. Well, I realized last night that I've been getting about 4-5 ounces a day. That's not bad at all.

And this morning, my first pumping session yielded 2 ounces by itself - 1 ounce per side. I'll need to get more storage bags soon. I'd slowly been filling up those 2 ounce snappies bottles.

Also, I have less than 50 domperidone pills left. So I'm gonna go down on the dosage. I'll take two pills three times daily for now and then go down to one pill three times daily.

Day 36

Still chugging along.. Not much increase in supply. It's a bummer.  Currently now out of Blessed Thistle, but continuing the domperidone.

Day 34

I've been using a Medela Pump in Style Advanced since yesterday. And. I. Love. It!

It has the letdown button, which is awesome!

I'm hoping it helps increase supply, as well. I will try to power pump when possible again.

Day 33

The milk output is still very slowly increasing. My friend is going to let me use her Medela pump until I can get one of my own. I'm hoping to see if it will make a difference. I feel like I cannot get all of the milk out as of right now.

I will be out of supplements by the end of the week. So I am nervous to see if that means my supply will stop or if I'll be able to keep it up with pumping. I think having a pump more suitable for exclusive pumping will help.

I now have 12 ounces of milk in the freezer.
