So I went to see my lactation consultant today as planned...  The good news was that Keoni gained 3 oz in 3 days!  However, our transfer session did not go so well.  He barely ate an ounce and so we had to give him some formula to supplement so he wasn't starving.  I didn't feel so bad giving him formula since my LC seemed ok with it.  I tried to pump afterward, but there was nothing.  I think I had depleted everything from the morning pumping session and the nursing...  I am still avidly trying to bring up my supply, but it's still a struggle.  I'm hanging in there, but each day is a challenge.  I know mother's who have been successful tell me I still need to hang in there since it didn't happen for them either until 6-8 weeks, so I am just believing them and holding on.  I am going into my fifth week now so we'll see...  One suggestion my LC did give me was to try Go-Lacta.  It apparently is the new thing now and has helped many mothers with lactation.  Every woman is different so we'll see if it works for me.  I have been nursing and pumping like a mad woman today and I need to continue it throughout the weekend and hopefully I will see some positive results, no matter how small.  We have our one month pedi visit Monday so I hope he's gained a healthy amount by then!  Man I'm so friggin tired!!!
