how much (work) is 2 oz worth - Page 2

You simply cannot put a price on something so pure and genuine made ONLY by your body FOR your baby. Every drop matters!

What about fenugreek and goats rue?

I take it this is about the baby you have in foster care mentioned in your sig. What does your caseworker say about you pumping for the baby? That fact that you are so circumspect suggests that perhaps you are doing this on the dl. In such a situation it's probably prudent to just drop the idea and stick with the caseworker-approved nutrition.

I could have written this -
Im a micro supply mom (due to IGT) and I get 6 ounces in 24 hours and it takes me hours to get this.

It takes time away from my toddler, my husband, my newborn and myself and most of the time i dont think its worth it.

No amount of herbs, prescriptions, type of pump, 8 different LC, 3 LLL leaders etc changes it.

Its hard.

Good luck in your choice

Is it possible that you just don't respond well to the pump? I know I don't. Possibly try manual expression - I've heard of some moms who could hardly get anything out with a pump who can express loads by hand.
