The milk bar is closed

Been a busy couple of weeks – not in terms of going out but rather in playing catch up. A couple of weeks ago Benjamin had a growth spurt which looks like it coincided with a drop in milk supply, so all of a sudden I went from a baby who was feeding every 3-4 hrs to 1/5-2hrs. Freaked me right out and I was bloody tired! Who knew that producing milk takes so much out of you!

I’ve been popping fenugreek and blessed thistle like there’s no tomorrow and it seems to be paying dividends, well, litres anyway but it took me about a week and a half to play catch up so that I felt more comfortable with my supply. It also banged my confidence around in terms of going out but hopefully that should improve this week.

It’s going to be 20 degrees this Friday. Can’t wait!
