breastfeeding is going very well at this point. so well, that i've stopped pumping altogether.
yay! what a happy ending to the last few miserable weeks, right?
wrong.
as mentioned previously, i can pump easily 6 oz from each boob. now that i'm not pumping regularly for no reason, i'm dying of engorgement pain. on top of it all, my let-down reflex is so fast that gemma is having a lot of gas and spitting up.
she is getting slightly fussier.
in other news, gemma is cooing! and it's the most beautiful sound. she is also able to follow objects more and more, but still hasn't perfected the art of it.

Sounds like you and I have the same issue when it comes to the milk situation! Waaay too much! Unfortunately as you've found out thats wat pumping will do to you! Yike hey? And my let down was also insane, that was my down fall which caused me to stop nursing. Keep pushing through, Grace!!
