You don't know me but i'm a friend...hi Amy,<br />You don't know me but i'm a friend of Ryan and Christen's. i've been keeping up with your blog and praying for sweet Hope! i can't believe everything you have endured and are enduring. It's obvious the Lord is sustaining you all. i just wanted to recommend Fenugreek for your milk supply if you want to try one last stab at nursing. I know how important that was to you to do for Hope. If you can find it at a health food store the dose is 3 tablets, 3 times a day. i had a horrible stomach virus for days and was also completely dried up. After 24 hours i saw a huge difference and by 48 hours my milk supply was back. obviously hydration has something to do with that too but i really think the Fenugreek helped. just passing that along! i'm praying you get better ASAP! i feel horrible that you have to be sick like this on top of everything else. Hang in there!manizorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16909026027631510202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-9910058898988552352012-08-23T19:14:58.676-06:002012-08-23T19:14:58.676-06:00Amy

Also, keep pumping if you have the energy. You should be able to get some, if not all of your milk supply back in about 3 days. I have seen this happen in my practice and personally. You could also get prescription for domperidone (if you're not on it already) to help increase your supply. The starting dose is 2 tabs four times a day. The LC at ACH should be able to give you the Alberta Health Services pamphlet on this med. You have done a great job so far and you are so close to reaching your breastmilk supply goals for Hope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620800315071767228.post-40909617203921471632012-08-23T18:36:35.770-06:002012-08-23T18:36:35.770-06:00when you feel up to it, that BRAT diet works wonde...when you feel up to it, that BRAT diet works wonders.....Bananas Rice Applesauce Toast And it sounds crazy but flat coke is good too. If you know of a British store, there is a drink called Lukozade and it is FULL of electrolytes....if not load up on gatorade. Hope you feel better soon!! :)Alicianoreply@blogger.com
