The day after I returned to TN, I started the painful, tedious, insane process that is relactation. Why? Because I truly believe that breast is best, especially coming into the winter months where my poor babes have already fallen sick twice in six weeks.
I am lucky that I had only been weaned for about 8 weeks; there is still a small amount of milk in my body.
So last tuesday I strapped on the ol’ horns and got to pumping!
It is really, really awkward to pump your breasts and not get anything out. Like…really weird.
Luckily, from the first day I did get some out…though not enough to even go into the horn of the pump and down into the bottle.
Victory!
Today, about five minutes ago, I had my first victory: a drop of milk in the bottle! WOOHOO!!!
I started domperidone 2 days ago, and I don’t think it can work that quick so i’m thinking it’s just my awesome pumping skills!
Okay…now back to work!
