More Milk

I'm currently taking extraordinary efforts to produce more milk. Chris jokes with me and says that I should go see a Witch Doctor. After seeing now how the extra formula we've given Will has affected him (constipated and gassy) I'm even more determined to increase my supply. Here is a picture of the herbs I'm taking....and believe me, I hate to swallow pills! The three bowls you see in the picture are for morning, afternoon, night. The jury is still out on whether or not it's working...I stopped taking the Fenugreek a few days ago, when I was told that it can cause gasiness in baby, but he continued to be gassy, so we're now thinking the formula increase (and kind) is the culprit. I'm now back on the Fenugreek. And I started two other herbs (Blessed Thistle and Shatavari) that are known to increase supply. I don't know why we haven't been looking back at our experience with Addison for insights...although they seem to be two different kids (Will actually SLEEPS) siblings can be very similar in many aspects as well. Addison had a lactose intolerance, so we're now wondering if Will does too. We started a new formula last night, called Baby's Only Organic Lactose Free Formula. I want the formula to be organic, and finding this specialized formula in an organic form wasn't easy. And it's not cheap. Similar to the Nutramigen that Addison was on. PCC and Whole Foods carries it. So far, so good. Will pooped this morning, after 3 days of straining and screaming. Now let's see if Mama can produce some more milk, which will help as well. GO MAMA!
