Thanks for reminding me that I haven't done an update in a while. :) We're continuing to have problems with the milk supply - it's just refusing to come in all that well. Marika's latch is partially to blame - she tends not to stay on the areola and tends to slip off and go onto the nipple which decreases the effectiveness of the suck and doesn't help promote letdown. Amanda and I had a rough night a few nights ago where she wouldn't be satisfied no matter what we did and essentially kept us up all night fussing. It's one of the few episodes where I can recall Amanda close to crying.

Things are slightly better now ... she's not as fussy any more though nose congestion has set in with a vengeance. We're dosing her with nasal saline drops to try to keep her nasal passages clear. Still putting her on the breast, supplement feeding her with formula, and pumping to try to promote more letdown.
