Hi
Well, my milk production is declining. I was barely going along with pumping a few times and feeding the baby. I was so tired, I couldn't keep up with the 8x's per day or 10 minutes after each feeding. And we resorted to a bottle.

But then the pine trees around here put out enormous amounts of pine pollen. It triggered my asthma which turned into bronchitis. I've had a fever every night for the past 8 nights. Today is Day 12 of being sick. I am getting better but still have infection so I'm calling the doctor Monday to get some antibiotics.

I really fell down on my pumping and now my supply is declining. Today I hope to get back to pumping more often so I don't lose the supply altogether.

One other note, our baby was tongue tied so at her doctor visit Friday, she clipped the little tendon that was keeping it down. Now she can move her tongue around much better. I hope that helps with her sucking action.

Hanging in there,
