Pinklilly, I am glad that you have had some success. I hope this is the first step towards you being able to go back to bfing as TBH I think bfing would be much easier than expressing (and will definitely take less time). But this is a start and that is a good thing. I wish you lots of success with the expressing, and also with working things out with DH that might be less of a compromise and work better for you both. You are doing a great job hun, and I know you will give this your all. I am sure that with regular expressing you will be getting more milk really soon.
Thanks for all your supportive words. Just wondering tho, my midwife said (back when I was still BF) that I would need motilium (sp) to increase my supply. I know there are herbal things you can take to help with supply but do I have to re-establish a supply before taking anything, or can I take it now to help re-establish???
You can take the meds (or herbs) now. Depending on where you are at with producing milk, you might need to take something to help your supply get going again.
