Felicia,

That is a GREAT weight gain. Keep up the good work!!!!

This is so WRONG!!!! Good for you wondering, listening to your Mommy's heart

& asking!!! The breast is NEVER empty. There is what is called, on Site

production. This is the fatty hind milk that babies need to have growth. 3

minutes is usually not enough time, I am tempted to say never enough time,

for a baby anyway. Just keep doing what you are doing & all will be well.

Congrats on having your baby thrive on YOUR mommy milk!!

Hi Everyone,

I didn't know there was a name for the milk that is constantly being produced -

on site

production! I used to wonder how they could say that a woman's milk dries up,

or that they

don't have enough milk (although I guess this does happen to some ). I was

always

amazed that, after fully weaning each one, my breasts would still produce milk

for a LONG

time - months afterward, i would give a squeeze and there was that milk! It

really is

pretty amazing, the whole bf thing!

Hi Wendi,

I figured that was what you meant <g>. What I used to do was hand-express to

see how much flow was still there after the baby finished nursing----if it was

still squirting out pretty strong and steady, I figured we must be in good shape

- does that sound right? I have never had a lactation consultant per se, but I

did phone LLL quite a few times over the years.

Joan,

My milk stayed for a long time too. I think the problem is that the milk " dries

up or isn't enough " but that the milk supply never properly gets established.

They struggle on for as long as possible but if they don't get the milk

established eventually the baby grows out of what they have and the cycle of

supplementation has begun. It happens so often that instead of doing whatever

we absolutely have to, to get the milk flowing, we instead turn outside

ourselves and start giving supplements. Which ends up defeating the whole

process.

,

I am sure that is true. It is so sad that bf isn't an accepted part of our

culture. It shouldn't be a choice but just what women do.
