hmmm, any way you could add some olive oil to your food, or maybe have some avocado or another good source of fat/calories without being too uncomfortably full?

do you drink milkshakes/protein shakes/nutrition shakes etc, maybe you could some extra powdered milk or powdered nutrition product etc to it to thicken it up (and bulk up the calories by just a bit.) i'm not suggesting going crazy and overexpanding what is left of your stomach pouch etc by any means, but tryign to get in a few more calories for the benefit of milk production.

as for what lll can do, maybe your local leader has a couple of ideas i havent thought of yet

they may even know of a mother who has an oversuply problem who'd be willing to give you a little extra milk so you don't have to buy aim. the samples run out pretty quick. in general this means the lo will wnat to nurse lots more frequently to help build up milk supply more. just letting you know, if she seems to be wanting to be on the breast for longer, that is a GOOD thing


has your lc given you any other suggestions for how to wean off the supplement, or has she not discussed that with you yet?

how much does the lil one weigh anyways?

what was her birth weight?

i see she is around the 3 week mark. it is a typical time for a growth spurt.
