Another day still breastfeeding

After a rough few days, I have re-evaluated our breastfeeding "relationship"


I will feed her at the breast (with a thing called a nipple shield, something that makes it more like a bottle and easier for a baby to "latch") for 20-30 minutes, then give her a bottle of what she "should" be getting.


This way, we experience the breastfeeding and she is getting twice the calories and not a lot of work.


I have ordered a suppliment from an online pharmacy that is supposed to help with milk produciton, should be here in a week or two.


After feeding her the "new" way today, we were BOTH much happier and I will see if it works!


She has another DRs appointment on Friday with the GI Pedi in Fontana (frecking drive! Right @ 3:30 too!) I ***hope*** that her weight is UP, UP, UP! After feeding her sooo much!


If it isn't up enough, it may not be the BFing, it may be the Reflux/GRD instead.


Here is a picture just for fun!
