I think my milk supply is taking a hit. I haven’t been able to keep much down in the last 48 hours. I know she’s still getting some but they definitely aren’t filling up. Any suggestions on keeping milk production going when eating and drinking isn’t happening? Or should it just bounce back once I’m done being sick? So close to the year mark, I don’t want to throw in the towel yet.

I’m so sorry helloerrbodyajetter I hope you feel better soon. Just keep nursing as long as you aren’t dehydrating yourself. That should keep your supply going.

I think it *should* bounce back when you're well if you do all the good things... drinking gobs of water, frequent breast emptying, etc.

Finally feeling better. Thought I’d get a good night sleep. Leave it to the three year old to decide she no longer feels confined to her room and has been apparently wandering the house doing things for who knows how long. I must have been dead asleep because she moved her nightstand. Got something from the kitchen. Got stuff out of the playroom. Oy. We live in a large two story house, this is no simple task. She has an OK to wake clock. She could care less if it turns green. She unplugged the damn thing. And she acts like it’s no big deal. Just does not want to sleep. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

ajetter you can always take fenugreek. It helped my supply and it’s suppose to not effect your supply when you stop taking it. You smell like maple syrup but eh🤷🏼♀️.

I am buying what I hope is my very last can of formula ever today! Ahhh that’s exciting! I think I am going to substitute one of his bm bottles for whole milk next week. Didn’t you say that you’re DS is down to only 4 bottles? What bottle are you going to drop first? I would like for L to only be getting 3 bottles (straw cup eventually) when he’s 100% on cm.

Didn’t you say that you’re DS is down to only 4 bottles? What bottle are you going to drop first? I would like for L to only be getting 3 bottles (straw cup eventually) when he’s 100% on cm. I am actually down to 3 bottles. He gets his first around 6:45 or 7am depending on when he wakes up. He usually eats breakfast around 8:30 so I am going to move breakfast earlier and give him a cup of milk after he has been up for a bit. His second is before his afternoon nap around 12:45. His last is before bed around 6:45. I give him a 360 cup with water to practice and I have tried a few straw cups. The 360’s he is pretty good with. The straws not so much yet. I am going to get him regular sippy cups too. In about a week or so I am going to start doing 1/3 whole milk and 2/3 formula. Then I am going to slowly keep adding more milk to them. Then I am going to replace the bottles with sippys or straw cups. That’s how I did it last time and I am hoping it will work again.
