I spent this afternoon in "SAVE THE BOOBY!" mode. After pretty stressful days yesterday and today, both school-related and nursing-related, I was going to DO something about it, dammit. I went straight to Super Supplements this afternoon, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I bought fenugreek, blessed thistle, and an organic Mothers Milk tea, all of which supposedly contribute to increasing supply. I'm supposed to do all 3, 3 times a day. The fenugreek and blessed thistle are at least in pill form, but the Mothers Milk tea I steeped and divided into two water bottles so I have enough for two full days at school. I also bought the oatmeal, cooked a ton of it, and divided it into a bunch of tiny one-serving bowls so I can grab one on my way to work in the morning.
I also found out that apparently the shields on my breastpump aren't big enough for me, which could be contributing to a decrease in supply. I'm going tomorrow to pick up some larger ones. I really hope all this shit helps.
Damn, breastfeeding is hard.

I'm impressed with how dedicated you are to nursing Emma. I hope it all works out for you. Unfortunately we won't be able to make it to Alex's party this weekend. Wes is flooded with work and has to work Saturday. Hope you guys have fun!
