Think my let down is very fast so will try some of the tips
on the kellymom site.
I looked
on kellymom and this exact issue is discussed here, with no certain answer either way: http://kellymom.com/bf/pumpingmoms/milkstorage/reusing-expressedmilk/
I found the most obscure link
on KellyMom about insufficient glandular tissue and I knew it was my problem, but since nobody ever else ever heard of it, I felt like it was such a cliche, people just assumed I gave up, never tried hard enough, took the easy way out, etc....
I feel like I read
on kellymom that it can take weeks for the dairy to clear out of your baby's system, and weeks for it to clear out of your breastmilk.
Not exact matches
KellyMom also notes that you may need antibiotics immediately if your baby is less than two weeks old, if you have broken skin
on the nipple with signs of infection, if your milk is bloody or has pus in it, and if your temperature increases suddenly.
KellyMom's page
on extended breastfeeding benefits rocks.
I also enjoy reading posts that are highlighted through
KellyMom and Mothering Magazine
on Facebook.
There is a lot of excellent information online, from
KellyMom to Mumsnet, but there remains a digital divide, and at times of crisis having a local network to fall back
on is hugely valuable.
KellyMom is a well - known resource
on breastfeeding but they don't leave you cold when it comes time to shift.
Christina Williams:
KellyMom for sure, the private Facebook group is awesome, I can post all those questions and no one
on my Facebook feed sees them.
KellyMom focuses
on evidence - based information
on a wide array of topics under parenting and breastfeeding.
A regular contributor to Breastfeeding Today, Diana is the author of La Leche League's tear - off information sheet
on Vitamin D and her writing about breastfeeding is featured
on several blogs / websites, including
KellyMom and The Leaky Boob.
No matter how you decide to slow down your let down,
KellyMom noted that eventually your oversupply and fast let down will subside
on its own, especially by 12 weeks.
You can also find
KellyMom on Facebook, where links to current breastfeeding - related stories and research are shared daily, and there is a large community of support from other breastfeeding moms.
KellyMom is one of the most popular breastfeeding resources
on the web.
I suggest people read the
kellymom post to truly understand why the four mothers (including myself) agreed to pose (none of us knew a photo would make it
on the cover) http://

Here are some resources from
KellyMom: http://
kellymom.com/health/baby-health/bfhelp-tonguetie/ Here is a story from one of my friends: naturalparentsnetwork.com/the-long-story-of-a-short-tongue-part-two/ (who would be happy to talk to you — leave a comment
on that post if you'd like to chat!)
KellyMom Developed to provide evidence - based information
on breastfeeding, sleep and parenting by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and mother of three
For example, what I am basing «what I would do
on» is
kellymom saying that it's «probably fine» to reuse breastmilk at the next feeding.

It depends
on the room temperature, but assuming it's less than 80 degrees,
kellymom says 4 - 8 hours but 3 - 4 is ideal.
I would not do this, because the guidance
on milk that is in a bottle your baby drank from is that it is «probably safe to offer at the next feeding» (that's paraphrased from
kellymom).
It's not true that you need water rather than other fluids to make milk, lactation consultant Kelly Bonyata reports
on her website,
KellyMom.
