Thank for the nice words ladies! :bigsmile: I also think my baby is so cute but of course to each their own , right?
we all think our baby is the cutest and it's good that way! yeah he got blue eyes and Im so hoping it will stay this way.
Only me and DD4 have blue eyes. And she is mommas girl and so sweet! I will post a pic in a sec to show off lol.
Well I just can't give up the BF yet...it's so sad I cried .There is almost nothing there but he is not turning away he tries every time! My sweet baby. So I said until he is willing to I do what I can.
I just don't know what else to try to have more milk! Any idea ladies????? Im taking fenugreek now but not doing much at all.
ELP-I can't see the video it says this video does not exist! I would love to see it. My kids all started walking alone around 1 year old. But they where all chubby lol.
Flava your DD is beautiful, my DD1 has big brown eyes and DD2 has blue eyes, West's eyes look different everyday but I think they will end up being hazel like mine. I will have to post some new pics and some of my girls
O. M. G. Flava your family is gorgeous.
Flava, she is drop dead beautiful!! What a stunner.
I wish the other mums that are worried about GD could read your comments and see your pics...I know she was a failed boy sway but thank goodness she was hey?
With regards to the breastfeeding thing - I also had various troubles along the way with each DD but got better at getting over the hurdles and ended up BF DD3 for a year (huge triumph).
OK so here's what I learnt :
Sometimes around 3 or 4 months your hormone's can readjust so your oestrogen/progesterone levels change. This can affect your milk supply and the taste of the milk.
If you are mixing bottle and breast, try and reduce the bottle to one only in the evening until your breast milk supply increases.
To increase your supply, give it a solid two weeks of drinking more water, putting baby on the breast on demand but ensuring they drink enough to drain the breast. Don't offer the other breast until the first one is empty. This is important and seriously works.
If you don't think the fenugreek is working (and have been trying for more than 10 days) you can speak to your local health food store and maybe try blessed thistle or something else. The blessed thistle is what worked for me and also putting baby on the boob every two hours (drain one remember) for 4 days straight. Just about killed me but it seriously worked and as I said I went on to feed her for a year when I never got past 4 months with the first two.
Best of luck.
Flava she is gonna be a heartbreaker!!!!
Something I noticed that increased my milk supply unexpectedly was the mixed greens powder I started on?? I have been taking it for about 6 weeks and after a few days I noticed feeling that ache in my boobs from milk let down! I wasn't expecting that at all, and I dont know which of the ingredients it was? The type I am taking was a discounted discontinued line but I'm pretty sure that a similar good mix might help. I will be trying maybe progreens or the vibrant health brands. They are quite expensive but the one I'm using I can vouch has definate overall effects. Hopefully something similar may boost your output too! I use a site called iherb because they have cheap uk delivery but there may be a cheaper site for US customers:agree:

My 1st link didn't work for me either??? I wonder why lol!! Lets see if this one works :)
WOW ELP David is so cute! OMG!!! I don't think I ever saw a tiny baby like him walking it's just super cute ! And he is so happy the whole time lol Is that you on the video?Im jealous you look so good !
I have this 30 shred dvd only doing it for 3 days and of course did not loose a damn oz but everything hurts! It's hard to do.
Even though there is almost no milk I still not loosing weight ggggrrrrr
Oh yeah thanks everyone for the comments about my DD ! Im sure happy she is a girl! DD3 was a boy sway too but I would not change her either! :HH:
luv-About the BF I can't not give a bottle or he would he starving and Im not doing that. I would be happy if I only have to give a bottle at night but it's not like that. There is really no milk here. I tried to pump to see how much and got like a half oz.And that's from both side together.
Just started the fenugeek again so well see if it helps. Don't know what is blessed thistle I will check it out. And try to drink more .Im bad at that...thanks !
ELP- now just what is the name of the green powder? And can we take in capsules ? I hate powders LOL I would also try this. I try anything lol even if I stay fat longer which I hate but whatever!
Im also just got sick with a cold or something feeling like crap so that's not help for sure.
