I need help!!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Some of you know me from past posts, but for those of you that don't, I have had a rough go of nursing this baby. We have made it to 11 months and I ran out of dom. I don't have money to buy any from anyone, and am waiting for my order to get here. The problem is that my milk has all but dried up already My ds still wants to nurse, but won't take any store out of the freezer and I am taking shatavari and MMP and goat's rue. But its just not enough, I ate some oatmeal today, but I don't know that its going to help. What do I do? I need some help, I am torn apart since neither one of us is ready for this to be over, but am backed into a corner. I am out of ideas as to what to do. I need a miracle, either in the form of dom, or for the stuff that I am using right now to kick in. Any words in this situation would be very helpful

I'm so, so sorry
I hope your dom gets there soon. In the meantime, have you thought of feeding him your freezer stash at the breast using a SNS? I'm not sure if an older baby would accept it as readily, but it's worth a try.
Hang in there, mama.

I have thought of that, I was worried about how he would react to the tube. He doesn't even like it when my dh gets to close to him when he's nursing and will smack him (tee hee) so I can't be sure that he would tolerate a SNS. I found out that my shipment entered NY on the 28th around 8 pm. SO I'm trying to be very hopeful that it will get here either today or tomorrow. Tomorrow seems so far away to me right now, but since I neither possess a time machine or the patience and brains to build one, I guess wait is what I shall do. As long as ds will continue to love the boobs till then and then I can give him more of what he wants. Thank you for the idea though
