Just a few days ago I got my first drop of milk large enough to makes it’s way down into the bottle.
This morning I got several…enough to refridgerate throughout the day and my baby girls are going to have some breast milk tonight!!!!
Maybe I am one of those women for whom domperidone works quickly. I have heard many different things, from it taking 3-4 days to start to eat taking 2 whole months to see a difference.
I also started taking blessed thistle again, and will start my fenugreek as soon as I can go out and buy some.
It is usually recommended to start herbs after domperidone in case they may upset your stomach. I have taken blessed thistle and fenugreek before with no tummy aches, so I think it’s more of a “different for every person”.
Anyways…I am SO glad I decided to relactate! I know I am lucky to get so much after not yet two weeks, many dedicated mamas spend a month pumping every 2-3 hours around the clock before they get their first drop.
YOU CAN DO IT MAMAS!!!

Blissfully Mommy
Hi there, I’m Tina and I created Blissfully Mommy as a place to share and celebrate the ups and downs of motherhood. In between those dirty diaper moments i’ve learned to find bliss in the little things like a yummy recipe, easy style tips, or a Pinterest binge! I hope this blog inspires you to cultivate your own version of mommy bliss.

Nice job, I went through this adventure last year as well around this time and it went really well for me too. If you’re like me, your girls will be able to have a feeding (or at least part of one) at your breast in no time!
I’m glad I found your blog, I will be following it regularly! I wrote one myself with my relactation and found it to be quite therapeutic. After only a couple of months I checked my stats..check yours, you could be surprised! 🙂
