still pumping

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I haven't been online in a looong time. We just finished our band camp and it was very successful. My parents visited to play sitter, and they had a wonderful time. Lilah is starting to smile regularly, coo, she is holding her head up... probably all the things your babies are doing. I'm just glad that she doesn't seem to have any delays.

My supply is dropping very low. I finally just sucked it up and called the LC who called in a Rx for Domperidone for me. I picked it up today. There is one pharmacy relatively close that is a compounding pharmacy. The pills are $$$, so I'll be looking for an online service. There are several that don't require a Rx, but I'm not really sure how I feel about that.

ANYWAY--- still pumping away. I still think she is eating small amounts, although she is gaining weight. She is only taking about 70cc per feed. What do your little ones do now?

And since I just saw this awesome emoticon and it sums up how I feel, I'll sign out with

Honestly, I think Shane is only taking about 2 oz a feeding, and adjusted age, they are about the same. He just eats every 2 hours, not 3 or more. So don't stress too much. If she is gaining, awesome.

I am glad you got the RX, maybe ask for reglan as well. It is much cheaper and insurance does usually cover it. You are doing a fantastic job and it is so worth it, but I totally understand what a pain in the butt it is.

Glad you had a good band camp. I am so bummed my sons band camp was cancelled this year due to funds, they only kept it for the high school, not middle school, but school starts in 2 weeks and he is bragging already that he will be center snare this year, and doesn't even have to try out. LMAO what a show off. But at least he has a passion. It is nice to talk to him about something other then nursing or diapers which seems to be the only conversation I have now with anyone.
