[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar experience with my first. Trying to make nursing work was very difficult between a bad supply and poor milk transfer. I got really sick at one point and needed antibiotics, and that was basically the intervention I needed. I exclusively pumped after that, because I couldn't nurse for 10 days, and then supplemented the difference. Had I done it again, I would have just gone to formula. With my second, nursing was much easier. The two things that seemed to help with my supply most was drinking a gallon+ of water every day (I'd make sure I refilled my 32oz bottle every 6 hours) and keeping up a middle of the night pumping session even after baby was sleeping through the night (I would NOT go out of my way to do this though)[/quote]
