The past couple of days, I've been frustrated and upset. 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.

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.

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.
