I was not sure how nursing would go after getting my new tatas, but they still work! Mostly...
I am sitting here writing this blog entry as I nurse Willa on my left and pump on my right. You may wonder how I do this. I cut a hole in a sports bra so I can put the pumper through, hands free! Picture a dairy cow with the little pumpers attached to her udders.
Normally I would be extatic to have all this sucking and tugging going on, but my poor tatas have had enough for a while.
You see, much of my day revolves around nursing, pumping, massaging, exfoliating, and taking a handful of supplements to ensure I make enough milk for sweet Willa.
When Ava was 8 months old, my right dried up. When Scarlett was 4 months, it happened again. Now Willa is almost 2 months and I am doing everything in my power to keep making milk. I take 9 pills of fenugreek, combined with 4 pills of Domperidone, and a ton of water.
My day begins and ends with nursing and pumping. Once again my life revolves around my boobs but this time in a completely different way. I feel so in touch with my inner cow and can truly relate to my bovine cousin, moooooo...
