Gotta love help from a friend!

One of the moms from a breastfeeding meet-up group contacted me, and she told me about some different things that have really helped her supply. She has had breast surgery and that is the reason for her short supply. I on the other hand, don't have a reason or a diagnosis, which is really frustrating. I am going to her house tomorrow, and she is going to give me some different meds/herbs to try, and a lactaid system so that Mia can get her supplement while she is nursing, which will give me more stimulation. It's so nice to know that others are out there that have some of the same issues, and can still breastfeed even though they don't have a full supply. As I tell my patients...any amount of breastmilk is awesome! As is any amount of nursing for moms who desire that nursing relationship with their child. I am so happy to say I am still nursing at 5 months. Me and my sweet baby are all the better because of it!
