I had been on the regular protocol since April when we received a call in August. To our shock, we were matched with a 3 day old baby boy! I stopped the BCPs and started pumping and our son was home with us two short days later. So, at five days of age, I began breastfeeding him using a Lactaid. I figured I was starting at a deficit and it was unlikely I'd ever catch up, but I've done it! At 3 months of age, my son is now getting all breastmilk! I'm am so thrilled and so proud of myself! Thanks for all the help I received here!!!

Our baby is due any day, I'm taking the birth mom into the doc today for her weekly appt. She's 38 weeks now. I've been pumping for 3-4 weeks and I only have 4 teaspoons saved. I get 1 cc out of both breasts per pumping. I probably am not pumping enough though. I am good if I get 4 in a day, but mostly it's 3 aday. Thanks again!!

You are getting close, so as much as you can mimic a newborn schedule will help. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)

Today I only got three in, I took the birth mom to the dr then out to dinner. The Dr. Stripped her membranes, so hopefully it will happen soon. We'd like a baby before the 12th, which is the due date. They also did a NST, baby was quite content and happy the Dr. said. (She's had a still born, so they are monitering the baby closely). We're in the home stretch! Blessings, Jamie Wife of Craig since June 5th 1999 Collin 7 yrs Bethany 5.5 yrs Mandie 3.5 yrs adopted Grady James 12.14.07
