Well, I did it again. The most horrible thing I said I would NOT do again...
Remember how I forgot lids to my milk storage thingys so I fashioned make shift lids that were less than sub par and janky and so they spilt and I cried? I DID IT AGAIN. I forgot my lids. Why do I keep doing this? I'll tell you EXACTLY why. I'm the type of person who likes to have as many things done ahead of time to alleviate stress the morning/day of. Well, bad news for me, pumping equipment can't be packed up the night before because I'm still using it that night. And most of my parts have to dry overnight. Enter: high stress level in the morning. I rarely have myself even started to be ready at 7:00 when one of my parents gets to our house to pick up nugget and I shoot to leave at 7:15 (it doesn't happen. like ever). Let me just tell you--these babies can NOT spill today or I will literally check myself into the straight jacket hospital because I'll be certifiable. I can hardly keep up these days with nugget's latest milk intake increase. Seriously, he'd live attached to my teet 24/7 if I let him (that wouldn't get judgemental looks at all). So I pump like it's my job and coach my teets to just keep pumping but they don't listen. They get tired and quit before I've met the quota.
I have to go think about how I'm going to make a better lid than last time. I'm looking at my 16oz. bottle of Squirt on my desk and thinking I'll be cleaning it out and using that. Classy, that's how we do it over here.
You all stay classy out there. And be thankful you don't have tired nips that just want to retire. Unless you do, then it sucks for you and me both.

Amy, try taking Fenugreek. It's an herbal suppliment supposed to help with milk production. Also someone tld me not to pump for a long time after they stopped producing but try small pump sessions other than what you are already doing.Hope it helps.
