The Buby and Flax

      Ok, so people that know me are aware that I have a 6mo old boy who is underweight. His weight is the only concern since he is still on track for length and development. He had started being really fussy at the breast and wanted to eat every hour. I was really starting to get anxious about our breastfeeding and have been stressed out over trying to get everything done as far as school, housework, homework, meals, and relationship time which I know was not helping my milk supply. We have been going to the doctors office and WIC appointments like crazy for weight checks and advice.
      I have introduced flaxseed oil once a day into my diet and it has helped tremendously. It makes me burp funny and one pill only lasts half the day but otherwise great. The lactation consultant at WIC has recomended that I get some Mother's Milk Tea on top of the flax but I haven't gotten to the store yet.
      During the time-frame that the flax is in my system, he eats much better and even though he gets distracted by whatever is going on around us, doesn't give up as quickly. Part of his fussing included pinching and grabbing and biting which has also decreased significantly. I have also been able to get more milk more easily when expressing to bottle and send to daycare.
      We actually ended up having enough milk to send him to my mom's on friday which gave me and Hubby all day to destress and hang out! I have been feeling better and better the past few days. Yay me! As long as I don't give up on homework and stuff it is nice to be calm.
