The more you nurse the nore you make! Dr Jack Newman is a great resource, too. Good luck!

Really sorry for the hijack but where does one get oat milk?

Re: oat milk — It's at my local health food store near the non-refrigerated soy milk and rice milk on the cereal aisle. I think some of the mainstream grocery stores have it, too. Certainly Whole Foods carries it if you have one near you.

Here's one brand http://www.pacificfoods.com/our-food...dairy-beverage . I think it's also fairly easy to make your own from rolled oats, but I've never tried.

Just wondering how things are going for you guys! Please post an update if you can spare the time.

Many good tips listed above. What about spending as much time as possible skin to skin--not just during feedings? Turn up the heat (if you are in a cold climate) and cuddle together.
