Day 9

Hope and a little sprinkling og faith. It is cumbersome to even try this without hope and faith. Hope that you will fully relactate and faith that baby will eventually latch on.

I am seeing a definite improvement in the quantity of milk I am producing. Definite but tiny improvement. I have to keep reminding myself that this takes time. It may take two months for the supply to come back. That may seem like too long a time and effort, but considering that I am planning to breastfeed for at least a year and half, two months seem worth the trouble.

For now I have managed to get Sayalee on to the breast as a pacifier. She nurses for around ten to fifteen minutes that way. I hope it manages to push my production up. A reason to celebrate today. I have also begun feeling letdown, fullness and heaviness in my breasts. I am hoping that by the end of the month I will be able to produce at least one ounce of milk per day.

Thank you God!
