The trio is taking 5 or 6 bottles a day, averaging between 4 to 6 oz. I am still pumping about 40 oz of breast milk. It sure is getting more challenging now that I am alone with the three. I'm already starting to see a drop in supply. Pumping sessions have gone from eight to six to five times a day. On really busy days, it's more like four times a day. Each morning I fill all their bottles with 2 oz of breast milk, the rest is formula. Sometimes we have a little bit left for the next day or to make their baby cereal or food. I am really hoping to keep this up until they are one (adjusted), but some days, I am not sure if that will happen.
That is just awesome that you are doing that for them!
ReplyDeleteNow, does one of your kiddos prefer the different brand of bottles? My oldest liked one, middle another, and the new one hasn't had a bottle yet (but we sure should practice soon!)
I found you on Kelly’s Korner. My hat goes off to you for breastfeeding triplets. I have twins, and have been working to try to keep my milk supply up, and as you know it is so hard. I have been telling everyone I know lately about the Motherlove product called More Milk Plus. It is amazing. It is all herbal and all organic. When I take it I see a 40% increase in my milk supply over night. Just thought I would share with you. I love the product and it was heaven sent when I found it. Congratulations on your babies!
