Turtle Monkey

I meet with the lactation consultant again tomorrow. I think there’s been at least a slight improvement with my supply since starting Reglan on Saturday, though the amount of formula I’ve been giving him hasn’t really gone down too much. I was able to nurse him twice today without any formula at all. Both times he fell asleep after nursing with a little bit of milk dribbling down his cheek, which I take to be a good sign. (Although after the first time, he took 5 ounces of formula over the next 2 hours which is more than usual for him. This time at least he’s been asleep for about an hour.) I’m hopeful that if I can’t cut the formula out completely, I’ll at least have a few feedings a day that don’t require me to get the SNS ready. That would definitely help my spirits and my time constraints. There’s nothing worse in my day than hearing my baby cry in hunger while I get formula ready in the SNS.
