Chicago mama needs extra milk for 6 month old
When I was 28 weeks pregnant my husband was laid off from his job as an
electrician, they told him at least a year before work. Since I was a SAHM
our only income because his unemployment.
We lost our house and had to move when I was 36 weeks pregnant.
Our baby boy was born in June and was diagnosed with severe GERD, which make him
forcefully projectile vomit most of his meals.
He is required to be on breastmilk or prescription formula. I knew I wanted to
breastfeed, so the script formula wasn'teven an issue.
When my husbands layoff hit the 6month mark, our health insurance ran out and I
had to return to work.
I took a teaching job that became available (thankfully) and have gone back to
work. BUT my teaching schedule does not allow me to pump during the day like I
should be, I can only pump once during the school day at 10am. Therefore my
supply is severely dipping. I have taken Reglan and fenugreek but without
emptying the breasts like I should be there isn't much more I can do.
We looked into starting the prescription formula, BUT my new health insurance
plan doesn't cover it so we have to pay an ARM and a LEG to afford this when we
really can't.
I am sure all the stress of trying to feed my infant isn't helping my supply
either, but thats the cards we were dealt and we are trying to make it work.
We are in great need of mama milk to help keep my baby growing. He is small,
barely in the 10th percentile for his age and quickly falling off his growth
curve.
If there are any local mamas (Chicagoland area) who are willing to donate to my
family we would appreciate it. I also work near Indiana and am willing to drive
to the lengths of the earth for my boy.
