Thank you!

I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the support on my last post about breastfeeding!

After I posted, we went to the lactation consultant.  Basically, I got a ton of milk in initially (which was great) - so much that Alice never really needed to suckle at the sinuses to get some, so they started shutting down to slow down production.  When she needed to start doing that, my sinuses are too deep for her - she has a high palate and a short tongue, which makes nursing tough for her until her mouth grows (it's also why we have horrible latch problems sometimes).  So, right now we're continuing with pumping and trying to nurse when possible.  I've been able to almost entirely cover her feeding with expressed milk, only using the formula about once or twice a day to supplement an extra ounce or so.  I'm doing the Reg.lan again, pumping super-often, and we're trying to get her nursing whenever possible.  At the advice of a friend, I ordered some Fenu.greek, and will be trying that to also boost supply.  I want to be able to get back to nursing whenever possible, and pumping to evacuate the supply, but we'll see how it goes.

My little girl is just amazing.  She's so sweet and cute.  She doesn't have a great schedule yet (wants to eat every 2 hours), but we're working on it.  I can't begrudge this little face.
