I don’t get it. Oliver has been gaining weight hand over fist, and yesterday my milk production dropped to almost zip. This morning, he doesn’t seem to be getting much at all. I’m afraid to pump, b/c he might wake up at any minute starved b/c he didn’t get enough the last time he ate.
Yes, I didn’t take all 6 capsules of fenugreek yesterday. Nor did I drink my full gallon of water. But is milk production that precarious?
And NO, it doesn’t feel like a pre-growth spurt mega-multi feeding. It feels like there’s not enough there. My breasts aren’t doing the Pamela Anderson thing that they do when they’re full. They’re looking more like they really are 40 years old.
(Sorry girls, it’s true. Now, aren’t you ashamed? Get to work! Lazing is not lactating.)
