Last night at my 3:00am pump finally the engorgement was relieved. It felt so good I almost cried for joy. Once it started the milk was flying out full force. I ended up with 10 1/2 ounces, of which about 8 was from the left side alone. That's over twice what I would usually get. I've pumped again 3 hours later and got a little bit less than I usually do, but I think that's okay because I pumped until I was really empty at 3:00am and only left 3 hours in between just in case. I'll keep a close eye on output today but I think it should be fine.

Now get this... I was eating monster cookies at the start of that 3:00am pumping session. So should we add "aids in letdown" to it's list of attributes?

Thanks for the support everyone. It's been a really crappy 3 days, it feels so good to be back to feeling myself again.

YAY for boob relief!! I got a clogged duct and was so engorged the other day when Walter only woke up 3 times to eat instead of 7 (I know, that statement is so wrong.) I understand how good it feels to have an empty boobie after feeling like that! And funny about the Monster Cookies. Those things are crazy.

Congrats!! I get clogged ducts so often, it is so nice when any boobie injury gets better. Those things are our babies food source, and can be such a stressful feeling when they dont work right.

Woo hoo! I almost suggested trying Monster Cookies but I was afraid they would make you more engorged. Those things are miraculous. I'm going to have to make some and see if they can change Ava's formula into breast milk!

I'm so glad you feel better!!!
