I’m still feeding Tristan through exclusive pumping. I was down to two sessions per day, but my supply seems to have dropped by about half. I’m cycling through the frozen stash and finding that it’s not being replaced as fast, so I now have only about 12 bottles of excess as opposed to the 18 I had about two weeks ago. I’ve been trying to add in a third pumping session to restimulate a bit, as we’ve got 1-3 months before we’re ready to get into the world of formula and/or solids. I figure whatever’s meant to happen will, but it’s still somewhat disappointing, especially considering the massive oversupply from before. I’m hoping that feeding formula the next time we try won’t result in the same fountain-puke that it did when we first tried back in his first month. I’ve tried the Mother’s Milk tea that’s sold in grocery stores, but that doesn’t seem to have much of an effect – perhaps I am not drinking enough. In any event, the frozen stash is meant to make up for when I can’t provide the fresh stuff, so it’s at least being put to good use.
