Latch with shield. Feeling better about breastfeed tons now.

I am now drink mothers milk tea along with taking fenugreek, eating oatmeal, flaxseed ground up in a smoothie. We shall see within the next week if my supply goes up.

Milk drunk and sleep. Trying to get my supply up since I have to go back to work in 2 weeks.

I was out all day yesterday and was only able to pump once and my breastmilk has paid for it. Went to the store tonight to pick up some things to increase my supply again. Plus I plan on eating loads of oatmeal. I am going to have to be careful in the future. Only 2 errands a day when I am out. Ugh this will make me have to get out everyday if that is the case. What do I do?

I had to increase his amount of breastmilk I was giving him to 4oz. Omg, he is getting big. He was feeding every hour with 3oz. Plus he was still fussy. I just thought it was him not wanting to sleep in his own bed. Let's see how tonight goes.

I need more mommy friends. Anyone in the Atlanta area who wants to meet up?

Today is a hard one. Kai did not want to sleep in his own bed. He wanted to sleep on me. This has been going on the last 3 nights. I can't get a good sleep. Plus he wants to be awake at night. If I had my own place I would let him cry it out til he fell asleep. There is was nothing wrong with him. He was feed and dry. But wanted to be held. But my mom wants to hold him every time he cries but tells me I am spoiling him. I can't stay here much longer. She is driving me up the wall.

He has stopped taking my breast so now I am pumping to feed him. And all my mother can say to me is to put him on formula. She does not understand that breastmilk is free and formula is not. Plus I am going to be the one buying it. Um...I think not. WIC office loaned me an electric pump so I can still breastfeed him. I am able to get a supply up and can really feed him. I wish I was staying with a better support system than my mom.

Happy 2 weeks to my baby boy. You have been a joy. The adjustment that I had to make was not as bad as I thought it would be. The hardest thing on me is been having no break from him. What I mean is I am changing all the diapers, warming all the bottles, feeding and burping, plus the doctors visits. No break. Being a single mom is hard and I see why single moms are so hard. This will make your skin tough. But I love him and this is my sacrifice. I just feel like this is the beginning of somethin...

I am going to get back on writing my weekly blog and now that I have had my child I have more material to write about. I will post when a new post goes up.
