Journal Entry for February 15, 2008 Mood
Friday, February 15, 2008

Hi Ladies,

Jenna's weight increased by 3.4 oz today...it's really slow going and isn't back to her birth weight of 7lbs 9oz and she's 2 weeks today. My PED said, I could stop supplementing b/c she is gaining and her jaundice is looking good. Have any  of you had to supplement before? And, if so how did you make the transistion back to all BF? I've been pumping like mad to have enopugh milk, and I'm exhausted and so ready to BF exclusivly and not worry about pumping for a while. TIA I'm also feeling frustrated and overwhelmed from it all.

    That's good that you can stop supplementing! I'd suggest that you nurse her like you have been and then only pump when your engorged and uncomfortable as you slow down on the pumping your body won't produce as much. Think of it this way when she hits her growth spurt and wants to nurse more to increase your milk supply she won't have to it will already be there!!! I'm glad your nursing little Jenna we were "IVF buddies" now we can be nursing buddies :)
