This week marked 6 months of breastfeeding my little one!!! Here are a couple of pictures of us at 2 months (left) and at 6 months (right). You might be able to tell in the 2-month photo that I had been crying. My lactation consultant had told me I had very low supply, that my baby wasn’t getting enough food, and that I would starve my baby and dry up further if I didn’t do triple feeding with pumping and formula. I was DEVASTATED. I asked my husband to take that 2-month picture because I thought every feed was one of our last and wanted pics to remember my breastfeeding time. I was so sad and tired from triple feeding that we actually went to stay with my parents for a while so that my mom could take care of me while I took care of baby. While I was there, my mom and I started taking the Thompson Method course online, and we also had a rescue session with Rachael. It turned my whole feeding experience around and reframed my understanding of supply. No more pain, no more pumping, and NO MORE TRIPLE FEEDING. I still struggle with fear about supply because my lactation consultant scared me so bad early on, but baby is thriving and having plenty of dirty diapers, and he’s now above average for length, so I know he’s growing! I’m forever grateful to the Thompson Method team for helping us make it to 6 months!!! Hoping to keep at it for many more months!!! P.S. I really struggled with whether to try the Thompson Method course because I had already spent around $2k on treatments (including tongue tie releases, baby physical therapy, supplements, creams, massagers, etc.) but the course and the rescue program have been the two BEST things I spent money on as part of my breastfeeding journey. 100% worth it. And guess what, after completing them, I haven’t ended up having to buy anything else!
