So here is a bit of background. I had baby, became a stay at home mom, then decided to start classes this spring. I have 3 classes, (1 corrspondance) so that I am carrying full time credits. two classes require each about 10 hrs extra out of class work. I am behind in all classes and bearly able to keep up. My ds goes to day care while I am in class and if I need to go to the dark room (the chemicals are not good for him at all), and he waits to nurse till I get back to him because I am having trouble with pumping. There are other stress factors in my life at teh moment too, dh is gone for work since the first week of classes til March 18th, then will leave again after 3 weeks, gone for 3 wks, back for 3 ect. I was also talked into runing as leader for our reactment group I think someone slipped me a micky on that one
: On top of all that ds is 8 mo and going through this terribly clingy stage, he is just starting to like his day care after about 40 days, he loves solids but still like to nurse alot and here's where the issue really is.
Ds nurses, and nurses and gets a let down, its not very long and I can feel when my milk is flowing and when it stops. He dosent get milk for very long but will continue to nurse. My breast are not always full and ready for him, even after a long time between nursings. There are certin times in the day when I can feel them get full and I might leak. I have never doubted my body could feed my child but I feel that this crazy schedual and stress is going to cause me to loose my milk.
Also I am not eating all the time or if I do its not very good food. I avoid junk and will snack on fruit, make a dinner once a week thats big enough to make lunches out of, I will sometime grab a pp&j, but my main substance is Pria bars and a nut mix I made with dried fruit, cause if it takes more work than that I wont eat. I am going to grab a crock pot this weekend and a blender for smoothies.
any advice for someone whos only consistance in life is coffee, classes and a shower?
