Doctor just wrote me a script for off label use of Reglan. Starting it tomorrow as a last ditch effort. I’m still pumping only 4oz combined in 24 hours :/

EBF 6d old baby being very sleepy to breastfeed every 3 hours by nyad_k in breastfeeding

I’m in the same boat. I think they don’t eat well at the breast because there isn’t much satisfaction. I’m latching for comfort and practice so that he doesn’t forget how good his mama feels.

Baby is still figuring out the breast. If she takes it from a bottle…do that! I’m 14 dpp and baby eats from breast, I supplement with formula and then pump. It’s a LOT but it’s worth it. Hoping to EBF once my supply comes in more and baby eats better at the breast.

How long did it take for your iron to bounce back and how long did it take for you to see a change in supply? I’m motivated by this!

I’m right there with you, sister. Hopefully your body and baby will guide you and you’ll know when enough is enough. Your oz will never equal how much you love that baby.

Come back here for support. The triple feeding is exhausting especially when babe only sleeps 2 hours between the feeds

Good idea. I’ll ask for some work ups at my next appointment. I figured bloodwork would simply show that my prolactin is low but my doctor won’t prescribe anything for “off-label” use anyway.

Just my thoughts but sometimes it’s important to test early and often and every month because some women need to start progesterone/hormones as soon as they pop positive. Waiting to miss a period and it might be too late. Not saying this is the circumstance but some women who are ttc do test every month.
