Whoa. I'm so glad it wasn't needed. 1 1/2 - 2 ounces at this point is pretty good I'd say. I know it's not enough, but your body wasn't planning on needing it quite so soon and having a c-section slows it down too. Don't beat yourself up. You are doing an AMAZING job by simply giving those girls what you can.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507432917936364757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972147694312541271.post-54679430594017110862014-09-24T16:57:04.365-05:002014-09-24T16:57:04.365-05:00Ditto to Cristy's comment.

I stopped when they were 4 weeks old and I'm so glad I did. What a pain in the ass!!! I got a lot more sleep once I did that, which was worth it to this twin mama.

She is truly a fighter! My thoughts are with you as you continue down this road. And IV free day for Olivia!! That is worth celebrating (I'm certain Lilah will be not too far behind if she has her way).<br /><br />Regarding breastfeeding: remember that what you are giving your girls is making a difference. That said, don't kill yourself to produce milk. I know plenty of NICU moms who pumped through the NICU experience, supplementing with donor milk (and later formula) the whole way. And then there are others who couldn't produce milk (Mel at SQ comes to mind) or chose not to go that route. All their children are thriving and taking on the world. So do what you feel is best. If breastfeeding is what is good for your family, that pursue it. But don't allow anyone to guilt you either way.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972147694312541271.post-50106825667435646752014-09-23T15:09:39.811-05:002014-09-23T15:09:39.811-05:00So happy to hear the update about Lilah.
