...and I have almost 100 oz of breastmilk in the fridge!!!! Ahhhh!!!! My first child I think I had like 15 and struggled with low/no supply the whole time I breastfed (1 year). Amazing the learning curve between the first and second child.

That's awesome!! I have a pretty big stash, too, and it's such a relief for me to know that it's there in case I need it.

@locavore_mama: I truly had like NOTHING, it was a year long struggle. I started a thread a while back on if you had a successful breastfeeding journey what did you do. All the answers were very helpful. I pumped when I got home from hospital right away, just to relieve engorgement and stashed that away. Then I pumped one time per day after a feed. DH would bring me the pump (I used a manual in early days, soooo much easier) and a cooler bag and I would pump in bed just for relief. Also, I started taking more milk plus and I think that helped. I generally took better care of myself pp this time...at least 100oz of water daily and eat better. I swear it has made a huge difference!
