re: I feel so guilty :(

Quoting Allissa Specht:" Yes, most WIC offices are this way. Try again. I ended up being given a free electric pump! Are you a stay at home Mom? This normally disqualifies you :-("

Yeah...I am. I'm going to try to go to classes or get a part time job...but for now I stay at home with him

Quoting BastiansMommy:" That's what my older sister told me...but all every time I think about doing that, all I can think about is if he'll get the alcohol or not  "

Your body will metabolize the alcohol from a single beer before it can get into the breastmilk, don't get blitzed though, LOL

Quoting Allissa Specht:" Do it sooner rather than later too :-) I swear my milk supplied quadrupled!!! You still have to pump ... [snip!] ... You still have to pump in between feedings obviously to keep your supply up, but it will help get you where you need to be"

I'd rather have too much than not enough lol

You could use a supplimental nursing system, then it'll also help you stimulate more milk- or take fenugreek and mother's milk tea.

haha okay...then I may have to have our neighbor go buy me a beer to see if that will work (one more year...ugh) And I have no problem not getting blitzed haha That's only happened once and NEVER AGAIN! lmao

"supplimental nursing system?" What's that? (sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm kind of new to all of this) and I've tried the mother's milk tea and it didn't work all that great...it just kind of made me nauseous

After my last was born I went out one night and had like 3-4 beers the whole night. The next day I swear I barely touched them and milk was squirting across the room. I even pumped and dumped twice, they were still spouting everywhere! The lady said dark beer was best but I just had regular bud light and it worked fine! LOL

haha that is kind of awesome...sorry >.>
I will definitely have to try a beer then...and knowing my neighbors they have a fridge full...so I'll send SO over to ask for one when he gets off work. haha

Try Fenugreek (Unless you're hypoglycemic, like me, then it drops your blood sugar but makes lots of milk come in.)

you can put formula in and wont have to give up BF hopefully your supply will continue to grow cause if you are only BF in the morning and at night your supply will just continue to diminish.

did you go to Providence or capital medical

Only if you are working more then 20 hours a week. They don't loan them out to non working mothers believe me I tried because I worked events where I would have to pump and then I was in school online full time so I wanted to get help feeding DD they don't give them out without a signed schedule from your manager

well seeing as how I'm from the same state as th op snd i actually don't live that far away from her I know a little more about what our WIC office will do verses yours in Florida when I was a stay at home mom they gave me a breast pump no questions asked

I know...but I don't want him to not gain weight because my milk seems to be drying up.   I pump every couple of hours, but it's not the same and I know it. UGH! It shouldn't be this frustrating to do something your body was made to do  
Sorry...just kinda grumpy
