Mother's Milk Tea

Well, I'm back to work now which is a bitter sweet. I started back on July 29 which was a Friday. Starting back on a Friday was actually not bad since it wasn't has crazy as a Monday. I was able to catch up on a lot of things, and start fresh on that Monday morning. I of course missed Joshua a great deal, but was at ease knowing that he was at home with Darnell.

Since returning to work I've had to pump in order to provide milk for Joshua while I'm away. That has been a task in itself! Having to step away from my desk in order to pump has been a lot of work. I get so busy at work that time gets away from me. The next thing I know I'm so engorged that I have to leave immediately to pump. I've noticed that my supply hasn't been as great since I started back to work. We actually ran out of milk, and had to give him formula. I was a little bummed since I hoped to exclusively breast-feed for at least another month. I was informed about a supplement tea called Mother's Milk that is suppose to promote healthy lactation. It came highly recommended, so I purchased some Whole Foods, so we'll see how that works out. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue to supply Joshua with breast milk exclusively again, and we can hold off on the formula for awhile.
