Breast milk production tips Here are a few statistics about my breasts since I started breastfeeding: My nipples are almost 2 inches in circumference and a half inch high. The best example I can give is an AA size battery, but obviously not as long; I can't go more than two hours without breastfeeding my baby or my breasts get swollen and become extremely painful and rock-hard. My nipples also will leak breast milk and has done so just a few days ago while I was at the mall; In this video I am wearing a 36-GG cup maternity bra and the cups are still tight on me. This past week I was fitted for a maternity bra and now I wear a 36-HH cup comfortably. . The only down side to this is that the 36HH bra cost me $89.00USD each and I wanted to have more than one; My lactating breasts now weigh a bit over 3.7kg each and for my American friends, that is about 8.25lbs each breast; and When I use my breast pump, I can produce just over 11oz or 325ml of milk in a 4 hour period from each breast, which is a total of 22oz or 650ml of breast milk. I should be making well over 16oz from each breast by Christmas. Nearly all nursing mothers worry at one time or another about whether their babies are getting enough breast milk. The first thing to determine is whether your supply is really low or not. If you are unable to produce enough milk or your baby is not getting enough for his or her age, there are a few things you can do to increase breast milk production.

Bennett and Milly Two of our goats gave birth over the weekend. Looks like a third is due any day. Unfortunately, while one of the mothers went into labor and had two healthy twins without us even knowing (she was fast, and most of the signs weren't there so we weren't sure of it until "Uhh.. .. there's kids in there with her..."), the other mother, Starburst, was not so lucky. Her labor was too long, and we ended up having to do emergency C-section on her. Only one of the babies survived, the little guy in this video, who has been named Bennett. Both he and his brother were oxygen deprived, so they were very, very weak coming out and the other kid only managed to take a couple of breaths before passing away. Sadly, the trauma was too much for Starburst. She was still alive when I filmed this video, but rejected the baby and could not pass the placenta despite our efforts to help her. It went necrotic and she died the next day. She's greatly missed. :( The good news is, Benny has taken a much better turn, despite his difficult start, and even more surprising is that Lucy, the mother of the twin LaMancha kids born the day after this guy was, readily adopted him. Those of you who know goats know how rare this is! She will still need help - her milk supply is unusually low as it is - but that takes a major load off and will give him someone to play with. He's much stronger now and very affectionate to anyone who will give him attention. RIP, Starburst. :(
