We had to feed Charlotte a bottle again. I just cried and cried. I am so scared my milk supply is going to drop off and I won't be able to breastfeed for a year like I hope to.
I dashed off to the store to buy oatmeal (which can increase milk production) and a bottle of Fenugreek - which is a herb that can stimulate milk production as well. I am desperate, and so hoping that this works!

tank?

I haven't blogged in awhile. I should have, but as always, I haven't.

I had to feed Charlotte a bottle for the first time tonight. She completely drained both sides of me and was demanding more. She was extremely overtired and just needed to eat to push her over the edge. *sigh*
James thawed out some of my very early transitional milk (from when Charlotte was 5 days old) ... it needed to be used anyway.

I just cried. I have been feeling like my supply is dropping lately, but this was a confirmation that it is indeed dropping. I am going to start doing what I can to increase it. I'm not sure what I can do, but I will do any and every thing that I can.

rock n roll

We had our first visit from our Parents as Teachers rep today, and while she was here, Charlotte rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time! Such a big girl!!!
I can't believe how big she is getting! She is doing so much and is so busy. It's so much fun to see her learning about her world and growing and developing.

She is truly a miracle, and while she is incredibly frustrating at times, I can't imagine life without that beautiful girl.
