Hi everyone...
doing some research before I start my journey
what I definitely plan to do:
1) massage w/ cream
2) hypnosis/youtube --- i'm actually on the train a lot back and forth to work, sitting, and with noise-cancelling headphones i can get in a good 30+ minute session with my eyes closed :-) i also go to bed before my husband so another good time, as I'm falling asleep...
3) herbals (pills)
what I definitely don't really want to do:
pumping
The reason I'm kind of anti-noogling is that I am coming off pumping for a different reason - I had a baby in August and have exclusively pumped since then. I'm pretty damn tired of it!!! Baby never got the latch thing down, and even with bottles he's pretty drool-y. lol Anyway, with a baby and working 50+ hours a week I barely have time as it is. not to mention, I don't really want to purchase one nor have to explain all this to my husband who "doesn't care" what size I am. I'm not planning to do this for him anyway.
I'm about 2/3 of the way down with my supply and down to pumping just twice a day. Gotta take it easy with weaning so I don't get uncomfortably engorged or clogged ducts!
I'd post some pics but since I'm still BFing I doubt they're currently at my "starting size". I expect to drop back down to my pre-pregnancy 34aa/34a size. Currently I'm wearing some 34As, some 36As and some 34Bs. 34Bs are awesome. I would be satisfied if NBE got me back up to this size. 34C or 36B/C is probably my dream, though. I'm tall and thin, so anything bigger wouldn't look natural. I come from a long line of small-busted ladies.
I guess one positive is that my boobs (and skin) are used to being bigger, so maybe they'll respond quickly to encouragement? hehe
Anyway, I have a few questions:
1) is it really worth trying this NBE experience without pumping? It seems I may be in the minority, as everywhere I look on this site people are noogling. I'd love to connect with someone who hasn't yet noogled, follow their progress, and maybe a few others who definitely won't do the noogling...
2) what are some good concoctions/ingredients for massage creams? there's a whole foods nearby so I will probably pick up a lot of the ingredients there. they have fenugreek for sure!
3) i've already purchased BustMaxx, 60 pills in one bottle. I'll start this a week or so after my last breastfeeding pump... unless anyone thinks I should start it at a different time? I read really good reviews on amazon for this product. The bad reviews were few and far in between, and mostly related to the merchant! so I figured if they weren't the ones making the product (which they weren't) I could just ignore those lame reviews.
4) when starting oral supplements, would it be wise for me to take 1 pill a day for the first week or so and then increase to 1 pill but twice a day?
5) any other ideas you have for me are great - i know very little about PM, but might do some more research on that.
