Thank you Kate, I'll give that a go! We're plugging along, trying not to think about things too much, and just DO, if that makes sense. I'm trying to source some Goat's Rue, which is supposed to be an excellent galactologue, in that it can help to promote glandular tissue growth. Sounds like it would be helpful in my specific situation, so I'm wanting to give it a go. Just have to lay my hands on it, very tricky in Aus, it's not popular here like it is in Europe and the States!
I'm so lucky that our EBM donors are STILL pumping for us, they are amazing. (Olive is one of them ). It has taken so much pressure off me, and D is thriving because of it. I am buying some formula this week, because I think having it here will actually stress me less. I've been getting worried that I am cutting it fine with the amount of milk I have in the fridge for comp feeds, so having the formula here will eliminate that stress. I don't want to give it to him,but am accepting that it's pretty likely that I will. But I have to look on the bright side.......D was due tomorrow - we have gotten through all this time with him being exclusively fed BM, which is AMAZING!!!!!!
ETA Kate, was that article in Breastfeeding Review?
