Just a quick update - i'm still trying to increase my supply so I don't need to comp feed ds.
There seems to be more milk and I figure that in a couple of weeks I 'might' make it to exclusive bf. I made a deal with myself to give it a full week and if I don't see some kind of result (something at least) then I will give up. Everytime he is difficult to feed (doesn't like lots of noise etc so feeding him when we are out and about is difficult and he ends up getting a bottle), I keep telling myself to give it the week or I will kick myself later.
The other night, instead of giving him a feed (DH and I went out to the movies for a break), I expressed once I got home and managed to get 60mls. I figure thats a good start considering I only managed to get 5mls when I first started this.
Hopefully I can get the supply up fast enough to beat his growth (when he will need more formula and then I will be in a constant cycle of trying to keep up).
BTW does anyone know if I slowly wean from motilium, will my supply suffer or should I continue to take it? A document I got from the clinic said take 6 tablets a day (2 every 8 hours or so), for the first 7 days, then the next 7 days, 4 tablets (2 morning and night) and then for the last week 2 tablets just in the morning....or should I just keep up the full dose?
