question for determination...how long do the herbal tintures take to arrive from bf heaven

[robinredbreast]

im ordering som more milk plus tomorrow and wondered how long it normally takes to arrive

I would rather not give some 'joe blogg' off ebay the business as I have ordered sssooooo much from breastfeedingheaven and always had a great service. was gonna get some more lansinoh washable bra pads too so would save on postage anyway..

Banana, be sure to update us on your experience with the 'wonder stuff!'

Will do!

banana how many doses hav you taken today ?

Two, will take two 2ml doses usually.

Duh, sorry three usually.

hey banana how r u gtting on ?
any signs of more milk

I think there's a bit more, I accidentally squished my boob with my arm as I was getting dressed this morning and milk sprayed up my arm, but they're usually full in the mornings so we'll see! never seen them squirt/spray before though.

well banana, come on any update? robin and I are patiently waiting to see if your noticing a real difference.

• quicker feeds?

• do u feel a stronger letdown?

• longer time between feeds?

what's happening?!!

nothing much yet although oddly my boobs feel fuller! haven't had a chance to really see today cos we went shopping and had errands to run so he had a bottle of formula and slept for hours

will report back tomorrow!

how u getting on now banana?

Hi Robin, well, I've been taking it a few days now, and I do think I have more milk (haven't been leaking/spraying loads but when James is feeding I can hear lots more swallowing than before) HOWEVER, James's appetite has also increased, meaning I still don't seem to have enough to satisfy him.

I usually sit feeding from when we get up at roughly 6.30-7.30am til about 3 or 4pm, he just feeds constantly til I feel drained and tired and he's STILL asking for more. I end up giving him formula at dinnertime just so he'll sleep and I can get something done or eat something. He loves formula cos he can guzzle it faster and there's always enough. He sleeps deeply afterwards, but when I try to make him just have breastfeeds he doesn't sleep for longer than 30 mins at a time, and wakes up screaming and ravenous.

I don't know how to stop it happening, he can drink constantly from me and still happily guzzle 3 or 4 bottles of formula a day if I let him. I may as well just accept that we're mix feeding and get on with it.

Banana,

This may not actually be anything to do with your supply.. have a look at the following links;

Cluster feeding and fussy evenings

Frequent Nursing - this is great

Growth Spurts

How milk production works

Banana,
just had a look at your pictures and your lil' chap is gorgeous

Thanks for the links, I've just had a quick read through the first two, I'll have a proper read tomorrow!

He is gorgeous isn't he, I love him to bits! Took this photo today: link

He's worth all the fuss, that's for sure

hows things baanana??

hello determination and banana how are you both doing

hello determination and banana how are you both doing

determination i just wanted to lt you know when i was taking the more milk plus
i def had more milk
i stopped taking it a aftera while as i feel id got a higher supply but i wasnt spraying or anything when i was taking it dd kept getting high weigh ins then it went don when i stopped taking it
im convined it worked

im gonna order some more today
cant decide between more milk plus and special blend
what do u find best?
im def gonna get alcohol free this time

im 3 months in with 3 months to go
so what size shall i order?

banana how are you doing hows things going ?

I think they both do the same thing really. I didn't notice much of a difference between them. But definately the alcohol free is FAR FAR more pleasant! 4oz lasted me 1month that is the biggest they have im sure.

I just got my package today from them i ordered 2 bras and 2 vest tops - figured the tops would be good under jumpers in the winter. What a great service.. i order late on Thursday night and recieved it today.

can you overdose on this stuff lol
i want to drink the lot lol

If you take too much you would almost cerainly run the risk of blocked ducts, Mastitis, abcesses... which having had experience with those kind of problems would strongly suggest not to take too much I definately is good stuff though. Do you have enough to donate yet?

is that causes abcesses? i didnt know that

well i only took it for a coule of weeks
so im gonna start taking it again

it is really good for increasing your milk as long as you stick to the guidelines. You would really only run the risk of further problems if you start to majorly overproduce.

ok dont worry i wont
i guess you dont really think of other probs you could have
only the ones you do

wonder how bananais

Hi Ladies
I received my bottle of more milk plus alcohol free today, but the liquid looks suspiciciously like pondwater scum...hmmm. Is it meant to look like this or have I got a duff batch? there is a green slimy coating on the dropper...most unappealing. In any other product I would assume this was a nasty growth that shouldn't be there, but since it's a herbal extract, perhaps it's meant to be like this... Can you please let me know if this is what it's meant to look like? Thanks!
