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. : )
My milk came in!!

That’s fantastic news, Jenn!! I’m really glad to hear it may finally be getting a little easier.
Good luck at the pediatrician appointment today. One of many firsts you’ll be experiencing in the coming weeks/months/years
