Rough weekend

With the feeding again. Swyn hadn't put on a lot of weight last Wednesday- 6 1/2 oz in 3 weeks which isn't great. By Friday I felt that I had hardly any milk and Swyn and I were both upset. I emailed Sharon for advice and actually took some more domperiodone tablets until I had heard from her. Even though the dose I took was ok it isn't widespread practice.

Anyway I have ordered some herbal concoction and have started taking milk thistle and drinking fennel tea to try and increase my supply. Hopefully the More Milk will arrive today and then we'll see what happens. I'm not holding my breath to be honest and I'm hoping that I can struggle through to 6 months - 9 weeks to go

I hope that things get easier again soon and that your remedies have a positive effect.

Gosh, is that all that's left until she's six months old?! Where oh where is time going?

Take care xxx
