It makes me smile so much to hear how well things are going with Fable and the boob (that sort of sounds like a band name...). I remember talking to you at your book signing in Seattle about breastfeeding issues, and I'm just really happy for you right now!Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00318376427752604367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-77009898489869254302008-10-29T09:45:00.000-07:002008-10-29T09:45:00.000-07:00oh, how you will treasure those pictures someday... and all the effort that went into them.

That girl has an awsome latch. I second the oatmeal advise and would like to add rooibos, otherwise known as red tea. You can get pure red tea at breastea.com (no affiliation, just a satified customer :) or drin snapple red tea or any other herbal tea, celestial seasonings, that have rooibos in it. Just make sure you don't get one with acctual tea, like the stash red and white tea, because the caffine in the "real tea" might make the babe forsake her sleep. Also, fennugreek works wonders too. You can get the pills at GNC. If you get clogged ducts, take some lecithin.<BR/><BR/>xoxo,<BR/> chochomomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-68725737349617045782008-10-27T16:33:00.000-07:002008-10-27T16:33:00.000-07:00Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.BOSSYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12137297805742498961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-21586322094761461232008-10-27T14:42:00.000-07:002008-10-27T14:42:00.000-07:00You go, girlfriend!

They are champions in their own right!<BR/>I had to quit feeding J Dog after 2 months but decided a few months after that (He had major stomach issues) when his belly settled that I wanted to start it again. My pediatrician (all natural homeopathic kinda Dr) gave me some herbal supplements and the names of some teas that would increase my milk supply and I must say it worked very very well. I'm sure that you, being as internet savvy as you are, have exhausted all types of information on the topic...just thought I tell you what worked for me!!!<BR/>Congratulations on breastfeeding! There's nothing like it in the world. <BR/>Oh just a random thought that just popped in my head...maybe it has to do with your anxiety level? I know with the 1st babe, it's hard as hell and nerve wracking. The 2nd time around is easier..maybe with the stress of A being #1 and your concerns and anxiety about the boobs exasperated the situation?Woman on the Vergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07951427221002226326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-55098064343691248382008-10-26T22:34:00.000-07:002008-10-26T22:34:00.000-07:00Go you! You're doing better than me and I only had one reduction! I pumped the other day for about ten minutes on each side and got two ounces.

First hand I deal with women on a daily basis who struggle to get started w/ breastfeeding and it breaks my heart to see that society/our medical establishment/etc. don't support moms enough from the get go to encourage how amazing this process is. It's hard as hell - bloody nipples, blocked ducts, engorgement, constant leakage, it's tough but so was giving birth! Give it a chance and I've never heard a mom regret it. Thank you for endorsing something that continues to be "controversal" - seriously WHAT??!!! - and being a fighter about it. Mommas make this world go on! Okay that's my rant for the day ;)Momma Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791512301762790937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-75552586950940979712008-10-26T08:18:00.000-07:002008-10-26T08:18:00.000-07:00i want to nuzzle up on those beasts too. hey fable, move over.bmclikesggcsbreastisiesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-10142690908504315472008-10-26T07:03:00.000-07:002008-10-26T07:03:00.000-07:00Rock on little ducties<BR/><BR/>And just reading down in your blog I often remark how odd it was I wanted peanut to grow up so fast where I want to keep baby P little forever.tallgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14459235368464733306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-63923096813616297322008-10-25T21:47:00.000-07:002008-10-25T21:47:00.000-07:00i'm so happy that you are having success! and i laughed out loud at the thought of you running around topless... i feel like i did that all summer. the neighbors had quite a show i'm sure.pamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18305377654972572258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-66466988687796781952008-10-25T20:11:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:11:00.000-07:00Congrats.

I pumped at work until my son was a year, and although I have absolutely no supply problems at all when nursing straight from the tap, I had the worst time pumping. A session with four ounces was something I considered good, so I'd say your ducts are kicking ass.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06534639424668879187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-76063637483943306972008-10-25T10:26:00.000-07:002008-10-25T10:26:00.000-07:00I just read an excerpt from Rockabye in Babytalk magazine and it was so weird to read about your first days with Archer when everything with Fable has been so different. And it's weird to think of Archer as a baby again. No matter what it was beautifully written and one of these days I'm gonna buy the book. It reminds me so much of my first days with my oldest. I can only hope this second homecoming will be as blissful as yours.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00825136916743123945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-38176520752489734402008-10-25T06:39:00.000-07:002008-10-25T06:39:00.000-07:00You forget how beautiful it is too look down and see your baby at your breast until you see photos like these.

That is such an accomplishment. I had a huge struggle with breastfeeding but I imagine if I had a second I'd know so much more...but I didn't have the obstacles you do. One of the things I love about Fable is that she is one of those babies born looking like a small, fully formed person- wise beyond her years.chantalarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15778165118031895133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-73219011020653653452008-10-25T04:42:00.000-07:002008-10-25T04:42:00.000-07:00Congrats! :) I just love your blog and those pictures are beautiful!!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08085174648390921432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-29263038293450435582008-10-25T04:14:00.000-07:002008-10-25T04:14:00.000-07:00rebecca, i thought i would pass this on to you (you may have already found it, it's a pretty popular site): http://kellymom.com/<BR/><BR/>such a great BFing resource, and they have lots of boost your supply tips, including all the ones people have mentioned here. maybe there will be something on it that's useful to you guys!<BR/><BR/>anyway, i'm always so insanely impressed with the pumping mamas. that's some serious dedication, that's for sure.ambernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-85924679821527469082008-10-24T23:33:00.000-07:002008-10-24T23:33:00.000-07:00Have you tried O'Douls??!
