Default Now it's clear...

Val, or anyone... I'm getting pissed! Remember my green breastmilk, and then looooww supply? Well, I went to the doctor (same appointment as when he inserted my Mirena) and talked with him about my low supply. He didn't seem to care much that the milk was green for a while there, and he also didn't seem to think it was a big deal that my supply was low! I insisted that I AM drinking enough, I AM nursing enough, and I am even taking Fenugreek! He told me to "keep doing that and get some rest and call again next week if it keeps up."

Well, that was last Tuesday, and today is Monday. It's kept up, as I knew it would because this has been going on for weeks now! We have been going through twice as much formula as usual, and it is becoming a cycle. Devon doesn't get enough milk, so we give him a bottle. Since he is getting that extra bottle, I feel like it is diminishing my supply even more!

And what's worse is that a few days ago I decided to try pumping because I just can't keep Devon on 24/7 and I am getting almost clear milk. Consistantly. VERY VERY little white stuff. and when it separates after putting it in the fridge overnight or for a couple days, there is hardly any stuff to separate. What does this mean??? I know that you said too much foremilk, but that is clearly not the case in this instance. There is hardly any milk, let alone too much foremilk!

Sorry for the long post again. I will try to keep them shorter! hehe! I am tempted to give up. Devon sleeps for less than an hour at night now because he gets so little milk and what he does get has little "good stuff" in it. I'm so frustrated and sad for Devon.
