My milk came in!!

March 19, 2008 · 3 Comments

I pumped twice overnight and got only 5mL between both pumping sessions, which was disheartening.  That’s about what I was getting in single sessions yesterday.  Then I took a two hour nap this morning with Nora on my chest, and woke up with engorged breasts!  I pumped and got 22mL – about 2/3 of an oz!!  Holy milky!  That’s the maximum amount Nora has taken in a single feeding (either of formula alone or combined formula and colostrum), so she’ll get at least one milk-only meal today.  Woo-hoo!  We have her first pediatrician’s appt this afternoon, and I’m so glad we worked all of this out before the appt.  I hope she’s gained a bit of weight since yesterday.  : )
