Hi Stephanie,
Congratulations on your success! I'm very curious to know the exact dosages of vitamin E and C. How many miligrams per capsule? And how much oatmeal? Was it instant or the kind that you cook for a while?
Warmest regards,

Lenore, The dosage for the vitamins were 1000 mg for E, and 5000 mg C. Caution: Ask your doctor FIRST as this high dose can cause problems with kidneys!!! Get his/her clearance first! (Like I did) The oatmeal was instant in the morning and then in the afternoon, I used the cooked variety. Of course, don;t forget the cookies...homa-made or the pillsbury ones that are in the package were the BEST..oatmeal raisin!! MMM!!!

Did yo continue to take this dosage once you received your baby? Are you still on the vitamins and still eating this way?

I am now taking lower doses. (Breastfeeding and all) I eat protien, but do not combine it with carbs...i.e. chicken and pasta. That prevents the absorption of the protien. I eat more fruit, more veggie, but still no "whites" (Sugar, flour....) I feel wonderfully healthy. My leaking has been better this weekend and am extremely thankful for that! My daughter is thriving and really a healthy little girl. I know my protocol was EXTREME in the way no medicines or herbs were used, but it worked for me. Like diets and medicines, it may not give the same results to most people, but for me, this one DID work! Prayer helped too!!

I want to try this protocol because I only have a month before my baby is here I just want to get a good understanding it. For lunch did you have bread with every lunch and with the Pnut Butter was it a sandwich with jelly and also what about fried meats. I noticed on an earlier reply you said not to combine the carbs and meat. You will have to combine some of them wouldn't you? For emaple the oatmeal cookies they have both sugar and flour. One more thing have you ever been pregnant? A LC told me today that it would be hard to induce a full supply of milk for my baby and I have never been pregnant. Thanks for all the good ideas hopefully after this one I will be ready to start and have a good outcome like you did!!!!

Ok, here is a typical day: Breakfast Instant Oatmeal (Any variety with Karo Syrup) Vitamins OJ Snack: Banana Lunch Egg Salad Sandwich Brocolli Flourets OJ Snack:Oatmeal cookies (Pillsbury, cut and bake) Milk Dinner Cooked Oatmeal (Any variety with Maple Syrup) Orange
Yes, I did mix some carbs and protien, however, I limited the amount. Bread was always whole wheat. True, sugar and flour was in the cookies, but very little and it was another way to eat oatmeal. Pasta is very heavy and not recommended. This worked for me, but others have better results with the herbs and medicine. I think it is all a preference. I can not stress enough the importance of the hospital or professional grade pump. Be more than happy to accept emails at canjrdn1 at yahoo.com! Thanks!!

I induced lactation and now, my adopted daughter is 8 weeks old and has been nursing since she was born. (in fact 45 minutes after, I put her to my breast) Now, I'm not taking medicine or herbs or pumping and am engorged REALLY bad. She nurses ever 3 hours and is growing at an acceptable and exceptional rate for adoptive breastfeeding. How can I slow the production of milk? I am leaking at the first sound of a baby (tv, neighborhood or store) and leaking ALOT, soaking nursing pads. I apply preasure and it helps, but I am really confused. Can someone please help me? [color:"purple"] [/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> This is great .You can store the milk.Pump your breast dry ,then you can have spare milk when tired(other do the feeding for you)or when shopping. One of my friend hsa so much milk that she has a sulpy in the freezer. Get educatate about milk esptresion and storage. Congratulation for your milk.Love glad

Stephanie, if you are still reading these posts I am curious if your full supply continued. Our baby is 13 days old and I have only had to supplement her once and I am just wondering if my body will keep up with her needs, or do I reach a peak at some point and have to start supplementing regularly... what has your experience been?
