I just wrote this long post and then it d...Oh jeez. I just wrote this long post and then it didn't post correctly. Okay,this will be the abbreviated version of what I just wrote. So...I remember around S's 3 or 4 month mark I started feeling the same way you are, and so did many of my mommy friends. It turns out that frequently around that time period milk production adjusts to what baby (Henry!) needs and you don't make quite so much. Since you aren't engorged it feels like you don't have enough, but your really do! I drank mother's milk tea and did a few other things, and it helped, but I think I would have been just fine even if I had just let it go. <br />Only you know what's going on with you, but nursing (and even a perceived lack of milk) can unnerve the best of us, so just some food for thought. I am the furthest thing from full these days (boobs are pretty much prebaby size) but am still nursing S at 16 months. So drink your tea, do your acupuncture, nurse on the affected side first, and *try* not to worry too much about it (hard I know-you're talking to the worry queen) because you may just have more milk than you feel like you do.<br />Sounds and looks like your family is doing wonderfully. Henry is a doll!<br />AnnAnn Grazianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570179660402607819.post-83823759753966148202011-07-20T22:32:03.426-08:002011-07-20T22:32:03.426-08:00Thanks you :) You do whatever it takes!

I think I'll be a return customer to the acupuncturist though, it was so interesting!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922440332052928904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570179660402607819.post-83602807697465251192011-07-20T21:31:35.791-08:002011-07-20T21:31:35.791-08:00I am sure that is tough to watch your milk product...I am sure that is tough to watch your milk production go down, and I pray that everything gets better.
