We welcomed Five new moms to the group this month! One participant was even from a unit other than the NICU!
We discussed mostly about building up milk supply: frequent pumping, completely emptying the breasts at each pump, keeping a pumping log (they have Apps for this!), staying hydrated, skin-to-skin, Fenugreek/Fennel, and Domperidone (prescribed by the OB).
One mom suggested handing out written information on supply and other troubleshooting, which is a great idea!
Three moms walked walked away with donated goodies : one Boppy, donated by our own NICU Preemie Committee, dressed with a handmade cover by Little Fingers Gifts; a Gift Certificate to a wonderful baby boutique, Nurture; a boppy cover hand created by Bibs Blankets and More.
The mouth-watering refreshments were donated by Kristin and Lindsay, both NICU Breastfeeding Committee members.
Thanks for all the donations, and a special Thanks to our moms for a great group!
