I pumped when I could, more on days off...on the days I worked...I cmomitted to 6 times a day. I took my meds faithfully. When my son came home I had a full supply and we needed no supplementing. This time I am doing things a bit differently, because I have a nnursling and I was overwhelmed by trying to pump, and nurse and the ounces...so I plan to prep for a few weeks, increase my meds a bit, and just put baby to the breast. We will supplement for a bit if we need to.

It boils down to whether or not you want to commit to it and how you want to go about it. You don't have to do *any* prep work and can just use an SNS or a Lactaid until your milk comes in if you want. I know it is intimmidating, but if you want to do it, it can be done. If you don't....don't feel guilty. It is a lot of work to get ready!
