So this is the end of the first week since I embarked on this rocky, really rocky road, and now I have gone from no milk supply to drops of milk oozing from both breasts. Definitely, that means that relactation works. Just remains to be seen is how many days will it take to produce full supply. I am desperate to see some milk collecting in the bottle. Without the post-partm hormonal boost, it is not easy, and looks like it will be a month before I see anything collecting in the bottle, and at least two before I get a decent production going.
Then again, I am not being able to pump as frequently as I'd like to. With two kids, housework, neighbours calling at odd hours, and feeling bone tired and sleepy at night, pumping every two hours is a distant dream, but I am doing the best I can and pumping at every opportunity.
I just hope that I am able to successfully relactate, even if it is two months before I am able to replace t least a single formula feed a day. :-)
