Gods I love that my body is efficient. I love that I can see and note the changes. As of our 2:00PM feeding, I officially make milk! It started with colostrum, but about 10 minutes into the feeding I heard those tell-tale gasps, suckles and gurgles that told me she was swallowing mouthfuls of milk and lots of it! I missed those noises.

Sure enough, when I looked down, the corners of her mouth were filling up with warm, white milk. She emptied the right side, moved on to the left and slept for four hours! Gone are the feedings every 2.5 hours, hello full warm belly and long naps. I wonder if this will last?
