Well I am going to keep this short, men..shield your eyes. Well if you know me you know I am big on the breast feeding.
Super Important.
All about it.
If you need help, ask for it, it's out there and well worth it.
I'm not here to rant about the jug juice, if you will- I am here cause I have an ISSUEEE.
So, breast feeding moms...does this happen to you? Cause apparently, according to Google, I am solo.
When I am ovulating my milk doesn't let down. WHAT?! Yes. I really just said that, re read it, absorb it, and please tell me it happens to you?
It happened to me with Curren when he was about 8 months, for the 2-3 days I was ovulating my milk would fill up but would not let down..OCCASIONALLY it would if I had enough beer, and visualized waterfalls...WHAT?! Yes, again, re read it, visualization helps your milk let down.
It is seriously frustrating when you have a kid clawing at you and can feel the milk all up in there and it won't come out!
Here we are again, it's been doing it now with Fin since she was 6 months and has only come down once in the past two days. I drink tons of H20, and the beer and visualization isn't helping. Suggestions? Cause I am ready to throw in the towel, which I really don't want to do cause my kids don't get sick when they nurse...pretty proud of my probiotics HOLLA!
100+ people read this blog on the daily, so maybe one JUST one can help, FB a comment or I am now allowing anonymous comments if you don't have a blogger account.
PEACE

I had trouble with my let downs around that time too but, never thought about it in relation to ovulation so I am not sure if there was a correlation. I did have to relax myself a lot and pray because it was def. frustrating to D when it took so long to let down but, eventually it always did for me. I have heard that pumping a little before hand to get it started helps some people but, what a pain that would be huh...it works though I guess. Good luck!!
ReplyDeletei'll try that, yeah i know i'm ovulating cause i get ovulation pains for those 2 days, and i checked my chart and its those days..
ReplyDeleteThis might be TMI... or just kind of funny. Once and a while it takes a really long time for my let down to start. When that happens I visualize (i definitely agree that it works!) while pinching my other nipple... strange, I know. But, it seems to speed things up for me. I would also try to "milk" yourself first, or pump (my pump doesnt work great so I use my hands)... that seems to work too.
ReplyDeleteI know... TMI... I'm sorry :\ lol
