I think I already know the answer to this question, but thought I'd pose it anyway. I'm able to pump just enough for LO's needs while we're apart during the day, plus a little -- he eats 12 ounces at daycare, I pump about 14 during the work day, and can get another 2-4 if I add a nighttime pump before bed (but I'm usually too tired). In a fit of fear the other day, thinking I wasn't producing enough (don't ask, I go through this regularly and it always proves unfounded), I ordered a bottle of More Milk Plus off Amazon. It comes today.

I'm thinking that taking that now is probably a bad idea, since I am able to keep pace. Not to mention that he slept 10 straight hours last night, so I woke up at 4 a.m. with huge, rock hard, leaking boobs. I was too lazy to get up and pump and figured, Murphy's Law, he'd wake up as soon as I was done anyway, so I was incredibly grateful that he woke up on his own to feed at 5 a.m., rather than annoyed that he woke up a full hour+ before he needed to. (Side story, I fed him off both sides to relieve myself and he promptly vomited most of what he ate off the second side, oops, selfish mommy fail.)

The last thing I want to do is give myself mastitis, especially because I'm not about to start getting up in the middle of the night to pump. So should I just hang onto the capsules in the event that my supply starts dipping or his input starts outpacing my output? Or would it not hurt to start taking them and be able to sock more away in the freezer? As it is, I'm able to put about 3 bottles worth of milk in the freezer at the end of each week (12 ounces).
