my milk can't have gone can it?

[BlueDragonfly]

i can't seem to satisfy ds3 today? ALL his feeds are fussy and altho he eventually comes off the breast himself he seems to be hungry 2 minutes later

he is 11 weeks btw

Could be a growth spurt? They are always a shocker when they come and really trying and then afterwards you just look back and think... Oh yes - obviously a growth spurt!

Try taking fenugreek capsules - they boost your supply naturally. They helped me through a growth spurt. Ask in health food shops.

what is fenugreek?

Awww Bluedragonfly, keep your chin up.

Growth spurts are notorious for making LOs feed feed feed.

DS2 fed every 45 minutes, I kid you not, when he was 9 weeks old. Difficult when you have other children

Fenugreek smells and tastes horrid - but supposed to work.Didn't for me. If you can stand it probably worth a try.

Argh and it was all going so well as well! (aside from a bout of mastitis lol)

The HV is doing a home visit 2mo to makwe sure i haven't chopped the children up and used them for stew am coping so i will ask her whatshe suggests. pah...my strong front is crumbling down!

Go with the flow, BDF, it's easy for me to sit back and say that but I promise you that this time next week all will have settled back down again.

Am assuming lots of wet nappies and that the baby is alert.

yep he is normal other than that. He has even done his first laugh today!

Fenugreek is a spice used in Indian foods. The capsules don't taste of anything but they did seem to make me smell of curry, tho DP said he couldnt smell it and no-one else mentioned it either...!
Try them, you've nothing to lose.
I took 2 three times a day. It took a couple of days to make a difference but I definately felt 'fuller'.
