Decided to continue BF/Pumping afterall, advice is needed!
Well my lo turned 7 mo old a couple weeks ago, and at the same time began refusing his only feed at the breast that he would take, which was his early morning feeding, I would then procede to pump all of 2 ounces the rest of the day and feed in a bottle. Once he started to refuse all breastfeeding I decided it was time to stop, so I did. Well about a week after that he got sick
![]() Now he has had recurrent ear infections since birth, and always has fluid in his ears. He is getting tubes on Monday to alleviate this, so, I was thinking maybe just maybe once his ears feel better, he will want to nurse again. My milk supply is gone, but I can still get a few drops out, so I think I may be able to regain my supply, which wasn't much to begin with unfortunatlly. I am going to pump often, take fenugreek and spend lots of skin to skin time with him. Any other advice? Would you reccomend I get a Symphony pump over a lactina? Any help, or success stories would be great! Thanks Mamas! I am a nurse so I work 3 12 hr. shifts a week, I have a breast pump on my floor that I use AdvertisementLast edited by rescueremedies; 06-18-2010 at 02:05 PM. |

Besides pumping, fenugreek, and snuggles, try eating oatmeal or baking lactation cookies. The cookie recipe is on recipezaar.com.
My 9mo DS is getting tubes in a few weeks too... He's never had formula, just bm & solids, but his ears have been infected on and off almost constantly for 4-5 months. I can empathize!
