It's working!

When I went home for Easter, I picked up a prescription of domperidone to help build my milk supply..and it's working! I am so thrilled to report that tonight is night #2 where Ellie went to sleep with breastmilk alone...no formula! In fact, she went the entire day today formula free apart from 1.5 ounces I gave her in the late afternoon, and truth be told, we MAY have been able to get by without that...but she was constantly nursing and I was sore and needed a break.

Life is good here. I have finally got my act together and am getting out and doing something every day. The group I go to at the hospital on Mondays has decided to meet once a week to go walking which is great. I was already walking every day, but it is nice to be out with some other moms too.

Of course, all these great developments come just two weeks before I go back to work unfortunately. I hope to continue to stay in touch with these other moms since if any of them are still on leave come July, I can rejoin them. But more importantly, I hope that going back to work will not be the end to the advances we have made in breastfeeding.

I promise to try and get some pics on here soon...
