So far I have seen a few times on my right breast only little glistening spots but not everytime. I have funny tingly tickly feelings when I pump. I am using the PIS and I start out on 5 for 5 min and then go to 3 for 10 to 15 more minutes I am on medium suction. When should I start to see something? Should I be worried yet that there isn't any milk? Thanks Joni Joni Mom to 2 bio daughters ages 26, 24 waiting on adoption

Try to keep in mind that your breasts are in training. They need to learn how to give milk to a pump. The tingly feeling is a good sign. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Are you doing the jiggle and shake/breast massage? That may help. Have you added in the herbs? Give it time you should have plenty of time to get your supply going. BTW congrats on your tentative match! How Exciting!

I started in the same way when I was inducing for Adam. But it increased fast. I went from a few droplets a few days after stopping the bcpill, to pumping 2 oz. a session within about three weeks. So don't get discouraged at all! Kerri Mama to Cole, Naomi, Adam, and baby Noah All wide-open adoptions through LDS Familiy Services La Leche League Leader and Doula

Are you eating oatmeal three times per week now? Christina ~ Wife of Henry, Jr. and mother of Henry III, born with the help of our Angel/GS
