It's day 20, and I have made a little progress by the way of making milk. I am able to collect about half an ounce at the end of the day. I haven't been able to stick to the two hourly schedule, and there are days when I don't get to pump more than three times, but I pump everyday for sure, whenever I get the chance. Mostly my baby's demand to be carried around all day is the major deterrent, but hey, I am doing this for her. No point bringing in the milk and jeopardizing our relationship. I try and pump whenever she is asleep, or there is someone who can look after her for the half an hour it takes for me to pump.
Half an ounce is not good, but it's not bad either. Add to the previous recipes, a dink laddoo and methi laddoo. It almost seems as though I am eating through the day. Oddly, I haven't put on weight corresponding to the amount and the kind of food (read: fatty) I am eating. Which probably (and hopefully) means that I am producing milk, and gearing up to produce more.
I am hoping to reach at least the one ounce count by the end of the month. By 28th of January that is. Anyway, I am happy that my baby gets at least half an ounce of my breast milk a day, which is better than nothing at all!
