I just spent two hours on the phone with my best friend and feel so refreshed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-release#post-221918 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 16:56:08 +0000 erwoo 221918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes all we need is some good food and good company! Glad to hear you're feeling better. Supplementing is A-okay. ;) You'll get your supply back up again. </p> <p>I am not a big milk producer so I take fenugreek to keep my supply up and will take it as long as I'm nursing my LO. Did it with my 3 y.o. as well. But I do notice my supply go down just a bit when I'm stressed out or don't drink enough liquids. My LO will just want to eat a little sooner when that happens and that's okay with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-release#post-221842 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 13:04:24 +0000 chrispygal 221842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am glad you are feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-release#post-221833 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 12:52:23 +0000 808love 221833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-release#post-221625 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 04:58:09 +0000 Andrea 221625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes you just need a breather.

Things were looking better with breastfeeding for a while and then M stopped getting as much at each feeding. When I would pump, I was back to getting an ounce or two at a session. </p> <p>Well, yesterday I cried, a lot. My husband begged me to get out of the house, so I called my closest friend here and we grabbed dinner. After dinner, my head felt like it was screwed on straight again. She is a mom of twins and exclusively pumped, after being frustrated with breastfeeding issues, for 6 months. It was great to talk to someone who understood what I was going through. </p> <p>She also suggested that perhaps part of the problem is stress. My Mom was here last week and yeah, she stressed me out big time. It was like a lightbulb went off. Haha. I ended up leaving dinner feeling so much better. I went home and breastfed M and supplemented afterwards. I wasn't even upset when I had to supplement. Friend time is very cathartic. </p>
