If so then you could stop the bcp on the 6th of August and start pumping on the 7th. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)

Do you have a good breastpump? You'll need to pump as often as possible, at least 8 times per day for 20-30 minutes about every 2-3 hours. The medications can only do so much. The rest is up to you, your pump and your breasts.

So today or tomorrow. It is your choice. Good choice on the limerick. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
