Day 22.
my baby has now been latching so some feedings dont even need supplements. however she came down with a cold/virus and it allowed her to want to latch much longer sessions :) :( i feel fuller now vs before. im considering adding another supplement in addition to the domperidone..

Day 5
I'm taking this day by day. Baby has latched for a nursing session of 20 mins only taking 4.5oz by bottle when she normally takes 5.... sounds like the were getting somewhere. in begining this journey again... i expected miricles to happen.. and since they didnt i was discouraged. BUTTTT going from a few drops to .01, .05, .06... and once a whopping .08! it may not seem like much to some people but to go from not producing anything to seeing these liquid gold drops... makes me happier then a pig rolling in mud.... ok maybe not that happy :) hehe... sleep deprivation makes me laugh! Total output: .50 ml :) aside from attempted nursing sessions!

Day 3
Ok so I'm a bit late in documenting buttttt anyone starting this journey can agree it's not easy but it CAN be done.As a new mommy I did this whole breastfeeding thing WRONG and need to work my way backwards in order to go forward.My daughter was born at 36 weeks via emergency c section. My milk didn't come in... And I made a decision I will always regret. I gave her formula... Being a nicu baby she was given a "nifty" paci and well the poor kids confused.... We then go home only to be frustrated by 45+ min breastfeeding sessions...which in retrospect I should have sucked them up. I discovered she was allergic to her supplemental formula so we switch around alot and in this shifting my milk supply plumbits...baby won't latch at all bc there's no milk... :(After all this I made a decision to relactate. After all she's only 4 mths. And does a billion times better on breast milk.... Here's our story...Day 3 of domperidone 4 tabs 3x a day.Day 1: .11 mlDay 2: .25 mlDay 3: .44 ml
