Luke's milk
Last night, Luke's mommy told me she's devastated cos she's realised that her milk supply may dry up very soon. Said the whole emotional downhill took her by surprise. That reminded me of how I felt 4 years ago with Timo. Andy was the strong advocate of breast milk, & as for me, I said 6 month's sufficient. So, when mastitis kicked in 4 times, I was compelled to take medication to pull the brakes at 3 months. I felt very "robbed". Also, I felt like it was such a spectacular failure. It's a very odd feeling, so I can totally understand how she's feeling.
Ever since my 2 boys took turns to be hospitalised earlier this month, my supply's plugged dramatically. From my "glorious days" of having 30 bottles in reserve, it's down to like 1-3 bottles now. Think production cessation is imminent. Do not know how I will feel. My initial target was 6 months. Exceeded that by over a month, so I suppose I should not feel miserable, but triumphant. Well, we'll see. In the meantime, I hope she can increase her supply so that Luke can have her milk for a couple months more.
