How many times a day do you pump? Are you using the SNS or Lactaid to feed baby? Are you drinking plenty of water and liquids? I also just met another LC that recommends taking Goat's Rue by Mother Love. Christina ~ Wife of Henry, Jr. and mother of Henry III, born with the help of our Angel/GS

I try to pump every two hours during the day (abt 6 -7 times) and then couple times at night. I increase the speed initially and then decrease it after 30 seconds. I have not heard of goat's rue but will give it a shot. Let me know if youy think of anything else. Thanks!

Anonymous Unregistered A	the baby feeds about once every 2 hours. I pump after every feed whenever I can...I average about 6-8 pumping sessions a day. Its hard to get more sessions in. I am now making about 2-3 mL of milk ffrom the left breast and instead of making just drops, I am making more milk in the right breast than before but nearly not as much as I am currently making in my left breast. Every drop counts, so I feed everything I make to the baby and its a very pleasant feeling. I wish I could make more and am continuously trying. Thanks for your support.

It will get easier as time goes on and your milk supply increases. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
