    Belle I did the ABAs bfing class today and it was great!! I expressed full time with DD (on motillium) and so want to avoid it this time so took myself off to the class. I learnt lots, it can't hurt to go along?

    I also had a reduction, and although Will is only 9 weeks old on Monday, we've already had a better BF experience than we did with Pip. As well as Motillium (a private script will give 4 repeats as well) I also have blessed thistle and fenugreek (1500MG) not to mention lactation cookies and no-alcohol beer each day. With expressing, expressing directly after each feed for 10mins each side.

    Good luck this time around - that book "The breastfeeding mother's guide to making more milk" is great, I borrowed it for free from our ABA library here. Join the ABA!!! Oh, and the breast crawl is really important too, our local MCHN LC told me.

    I would also recommend joining the ABA. Get to know your local members and use their resources.
    Good luck to you!
