I am still here and still doing my thing with the boobs and the milk. I seem to have dropped off a bit though, with the quantity. For the last six weeks or so, I haven't been able to do what I needed to do, when I needed to do it. So - I am now working to get back to a nice level. I am still spraying milk and my husband is still into it - it's just a lot less often. Still once a day, most days. But I will handle most of it on my own during the day when the kid is in school and the husband is in work. I pumped twice today - until nothing else came out. That's what you want - to be empty, so your body will make more. The more often you are empty, the more milk you will make.
I used my Spectra pump, but it seems to have stopped working when I went to use it again today. Weird. It worked fine the first time today. So I pulled out the Ameda. I like the Ameda more anyway. Maybe I'll get rid of the Spectra. It's bulky and loud and well, now doesn't always work. For me, the Ameda has better suction. I won't do anything with it yet though.
I started back with the brewers yeast again today. I am not sure if it will make a difference, but I am willing to find out. I put it in my coffee - can barely taste it with all the creamer I use. I have a little coffee with my creamer. I'd rather do this than drink a beer. Beer has a much more offensive taste than the brewers yeast in the coffee.
I may have gotten almost an ounce - total - today. Of course, some of that was expressed in the shower, but it may have been an ounce total. I would love to have more. I do love seeing it dribble into the collection bottles though.
I'll be better at documenting my progress. It's been over a year since I decided I wanted to do this. Hard to believe!! I am so glad I did though.
