i am still breastfeeding. hhmm...advise? drinks LOTS of water (you'd be amazed at the difference you will see when you dont drink enough water. i try to drink at least 1-2 bottles during the morning before i pump, then a bottle while i pump. and as much as i can through out the day). eat oatmeal. both will greatly help your supply. have you started pumping at all yet? start now or at least a week before you go back to work to get alittle stored up. dont freak out if you dont pump what you think is enough. i pump about 4-6 oz. at a time. hannah is 4 months and i take 4 - 4oz bottles to daycare for her. she drinks about 2-3 oz at a time. she NEVER goes through all the milk i take for her. but i'd rather her have too much then not enough. i also have daycare keep about 6-8 bags of froozen milk in the freezer for emergency. keep a schedule with it and pump as much as you can. like in the morning, 2-3 times at work, and at night before you go to bed.
thats all i can think of right now, but if i think of anything else, i'll let you know. and if you have any questions, or issues let me know. i'd be glad to help as much as i can.
i read they think Elliott might be getting milk protien from your milk? are you going to cut out dairy from your diet? is Elliott fuzzy or gassy? its crazy to think protien would cause him to bleed. have you read anything online about what might cause bloody stools?
