Relactation

Of late I've been experiencing extremely low supply, for the whole of last month. I was working extremely busy and often skipped pumping sessions. Most of the day I managed to pump only once at work. Feeling so guilty to bring home only about 3oz of breastmilk.

I've also started going on a no-carbs diet. I can't be going on feeling and looking disgusting. So I'm expecting that will further reduce my supply as I'm cutting down food and carbs intake.

To my surprise, lately I noticed a slight increase on supply. Especially this morning, instead of my usual 2-3oz, I got myself almost a 5oz! That's really something that I didn't expect! So I traced back what I did, only thing I can think of that helped me would be the oats that I've been taking every morning for a week already. I'm glad that my breastfeeding journey is not going to end soon. Next, is to stock up more oats! :)
