Today is day 1 of pumping in effort to create a milk store for baby boy and WOW I'm shocked to see results in my progress! Although I'm not creating a lot of colostrum, I'm producing a little!
In essence what I've done by being on birth control & domperidone is trick my body into believing that I'm pregnant. Since I discontinued birth control last night & added pumping today my body now thinks that I've delivered a baby. Since I had to do the accelerated protocol for creating breast milk, it can take longer to express milk. I was told that if it worked, that it could take a week to two for me to express.
I have been so amazed with this adoption journey, it has gone so smoothly for us. And now to add this wonderful side of it! I truly have a guardian angel watching over me (& Adam too)!
This milk producing machine is heading off to bed!
