3 months!!!! UPDATED WITH PIC

KCMomma · #1 September 10th, 2009, 07:16 AM

WHOO HOO!!!! Paige is 3 months today and that means I officially made it 3 months of breastfeeding/pumping!! I'm so proud that I've made it this far. My supply is slowing down, but I'm gonna go as long as I can. I just remember those first few weeks when I was saying "I just want to make it one more week!!" And now I'm at 3 months!!!!! I do wish we were still latching on, but I will take what I can get ya know?!?! I'm gonna take her in to the docs office today to get her weighed. She woke up the other morning and DH and I swear she grew a TON overnight!!! She just looks so much bigger now. However, last night she was still sleeping in a newborn size sleeper!!! Guess she's just petitie!!!

Anyway, she's still pretty fussy and we have our major frustration moments, but overall I do think she is getting a little better in the evenings. We can go for longer stretches with her not screaming so I count that as a HUGE improvement!! Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement!!! I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Oh does anyone on here do siggies??? I need a new one?!?!?!

So I got her weighed today and she's up to 12.2 lbs!!! She is right at the 50% mark for her age!!! Here is the latest pic:

Wow Gwen I can't believe that she is 3 months already!!! That is crazy!! She is such a doll

I don't make siggies but hopefully someone will be able to make a new one for you!

Congrats on making it to the three month mark! It really is an accomplishment. I hope you supply stays up for a while longer. Can't wait to see some new pics.

Happy 3 months, Paige! And congrats on making it to the 3 month BF milestone! You should be super proud!!

That's awesome!!! Congrats!! It's so great to be providing that and have provided it for three months for Paige! Yay you!!!! I'm glad things seem to be getting better. I'm sorry you've had to deal with colick. That stinks. I hope it's over soon and you'll have a happy little girl all the time.

I don't do siggys, but I'm in need of one, too - clearly.

it's been a while since mine has been "coming soon."

Congrats on the 3 month mark for BF!! I can't believe Paige is 3 months already. Time sure flies! Glad to hear that things are getting better now in the evenings. I'm not really good at siggies (I still request them because mine come out funky) but you could request one at siggies r us. Can't wait to see pics!

good for you for sticking it out with pumping and BFing so she can still get the benefits of your milk! I know it has been a struggle, but it is really commendable you've gotten this far

She is adorable!!!! And way to go with the pumping--I just don't think I could do it exclusively like you have done. I would imagine that your supply will level out--by the 3 month mark it really becomes more consistent. I will also say that from here on out you will be amazed at how quickly she changes and how much easier it will become. *fingers crossed*

I am learning Photoshop and would be happy to work on a siggy for you, but you'll have to remember that I'm still learning.

I made my own and it's cute but nothing fancy. ..

LOVE that picture! She is so cute! She definitely looks bigger than the last pics you shared.

BTW... with pumping a couple things that allow me to get more out (I don't know if you've tried these or not) 1. breast compression- I gently squeeze the side or bottom of my breast, or compress the top 2. Re-pumping - I basically pump both sides twice. I pump one, go to the other, then alternate again. I can usually get another oz by doing this. I never pump both at the same time because I don't hardly get anything out... I usually pump about 4 oz. but on a few occassions I have been able to pump 8. I hope this helps you.

KCMomma · #20 September 11th, 2009, 09:32 AM

Thanks for the advice Toni. I will definitely try some of those!!! I know...I can't believe how much she's grown when I look back at her newborn pics!!
