Milk available in Cincinnati
Milk available in Cincinnati
My baby was due on Aug 28th 09 but came almost 2 months early due to pre-eclampsia on July 6, 09. So, he is currently 6 months old (almost 7) but his adjusted age is 5 months. (You use adjusted age with premature babies.) I had to pump while he was in the NICU because all of his meals had to be fortified to make them higher in calories and he was fed by a tube. When he was about 2 months adjusted we stopped doing the fortified feeds. So most of my frozen milk is from November 09. I didn't pump at all in December and I am now pumping again because I had to return to work after the new year. However, my little guy has decided that he doesn't want to use a bottle at all. I am only at work for 5 hours and so he survives without eating until I get home to nurse him. To keep up my supply though, I am still pumping while at work. So there is also some milk from January. So YES I am still lactating! He is my 3rd, and I nursed my other two until they were a year and a half or so. And I am a health nut vegetarian, so yes, my milk is free of alcohol, smoke, caffeine, and all drugs - just a vegetarian multivitamin.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
