So I’ve struggled with my supply and my son dropping in percentiles and it’s been tough.

When it would drop I’d barely be able to pump anything, and ounce or two? I tried the teas and the cookies and even lecithin bc I read it can help make you milk fattier (no studies for that, just other moms saying it helped them). I think I’ve been in denial that

But last Friday we went in for a weight check and my son had only gained 4oz in two weeks. Very disheartening since I’ve been trying to hard.

So we’re officially supplementing now- at least twice a day, and the pediatrician wants me to pump and bottle feed more than breast feed just so we can see exactly how much he is eating.

Anyway- I am proud of my body because it feels like it is finally answering the call. Pumping both sides, I just pumped 10oz! 10! And I did breast feed him when he first woke up then pumped and still got this much!

This makes me feel hopeful again.
