After nearly 2 months of relentless breastfeeding, pumping, stuffing myself with herbal capsules and tinctures, soups, I have finally created my first breast milk bags of BREASTMILK! What!!?! The milkless Ellie who only used breastmilk bags for the 2 babies previously for food purées is actually using them for their actual purpose this time!
I have stopped supplementing with formula since 2 weeks ago, although I may still supplement with my own milk. Wow. And even if success may be short lived, at least I had it good for a while.
Although she punched my breasts and made me think of giving up and going to exclusive pumping again, and now she spits up after bf from reflux, but still fresh is best. So I will persevere on.
