150+ oz to donate and pumping 30oz a day - from PA
Re: 150+ oz to donate and pumping 30oz a day - from PA
I'm a ways from PA (I live in VA), but I'm desperately trying to avoid having to use formula for my baby girl. My daughter is 7.5 months and I'm 15 weeks pregnant with our second. Since getting pregnant it's been one thing after another killing my milk supply. It took about a month for my daughter to get used to the taste - she still nursed, just not as often. Then my morning sickness set in and I wasn't able to eat or drink much until just a few weeks ago. My daughter's been steadily losing weight, but I thought it was something we could work through and that would eventually taper off. I realised the other day though that I really have practically no supply whatsoever. She's been nursing nonstop while awake for about 3 weeks now and still no more milk. I started pumping the other day to help increase demand. I get less than an ounce from each side per day. Pretty much after she has that first ounce she just gets drops. I do have a little milk in the freezer that I was saving for my monthly midwife classes (my daughter, but I've been using that for her for now. I really can't afford to wait any longer before doing something. She's at the point where she needs a lot more milk or I have to switch to formula. If she loses any more weight I don't know what will happen to her. I'm giving it about another week, praying that the Lord provides, before I switch.

I am producing 30+oz/day and plan to continue for at least a few more weeks, but the freezer is getting a little crazy at this point.
I live in Schuylkill County, PA if there is anyone local that is interested.
