Hi Ladies,

I stopped using the lactaid last week. <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> It was a frustrating 4 weeks for me and I finally decided it wasn't worth the stress it was causing. So, we're bottle feeding now, but I am still pumping and getting about 5 ounces per day for Heidi. I also put her to the breast through out the day and she sucks and I can hear her swallowing! But it's usually not enough to satisfy. She gets such a great latch, I just couldn't do it with the tube as well, and she never did open her mouth very wide. Anyways. I feel in the past few days that my supply is increasing...I think I *might* have even felt a letdown! So, now that things are FUN and ENJOYABLE I feel good about what I've done. I know that it is a great feat to have provided milk for my baby!

Just wanted to update!
