My freezer currently holds 50 oz of breast-milk, the so called liquid gold.
My views on breastfeeding are probably a lot different then most. I had a "rough" experience, most may not. To each their own though. If it works for you then awesome, if not ITS OKAY!
With that said, let me tell you what is going on. Blaiden is almost 5 months old (the 10th) and we are STILL having major issues with throwing up, most say spit up but when its in ounces I call it throw up. He's been diagnosed with reflux a moderate to severe case. Sometimes when he throws up its completely acidic, and he screams. No one wants that taste in their mouth. He had a upper GI last week and now we are gong to see a specialist.
I try to give him more baby food (homemade and a few plum organic foods) & rice then formula, because he keeps that down better. We have tried every formula under the sun, literally. What we found that works best is Gerber Gentle and Similac Alimentum (hypoallergenic), I use a quarter of a scoop in 3 oz. Barely any of the Alimentum, I started out using more but he hates it so I prefer not to torture him.
Yesterday I got this genious idea, our issue with the breast-milk was it gave him severe gas and made him crazy no matter what I ate. So I thought what if I put a splash of alimentum in the BM (breastmilk) well i did... And he's been drinking nothing but breast milk today, no spit up!!! since 745am its now 4:45, isnt that awesome!!!
Next issue, I havent pumped in 8 weeks. So I only have whats in the freezer, well I grab the medela, pump, and guess what?
I CAN STILL MAKE MILK!! I'm such a cow. LoL
Fenugreek & Mothers Milk Tea.. & gallons of water,, I will get this supply back up!!
I will keep you all posted on how it goes.
Back to watching Hoarders... I should blog about that next... maybe
