So a few weeks ago Breastfeeding took an unexpected turn. My boobs started running out of milk.
To be honest, I wasn't that stoked about breastfeeding to begin with. I don't like sitting still for more than 10 minutes at a time, and breastfeeding requires you do this for around 6-8 hours each day. Bleh.
I ended up having to supplement with formula. Then I realized that I actually kind of like breastfeeding. My little baby depends on me. I'm giving him the healthiest option available to him right now and I get to cuddle with Pee-baby 6-8 hours a day. Plus he plays with my hair the whole time........ (sigh.........).
Jared was frieking out when he found out I had given Ryan a bottle of formula. He thought Ryan was going to start having convulsions and grow up harboring severe neglect issues.
Jared's jaw dropped and his eyes grew wide when I told him this was not the first bottle I had to supplement with.
"You just need to make more milk..... just concentrate."
So I closed my eyes.
I concentrated really hard.
I sqeezed.
But no milk came out.
I went to the store and bought some Brewer's yeast and Fenugreek. Both of these supplements are known to increase milk supply and both are nastier than Ryan's peanut butter poop.
Do you people have any other tips to increase Breastmilk? And by "you people", I mean Heather Johnson.... because I know you've been breastfeeding for years.
I really hope this had nothing to do with the Pumice Stone.
