One other reason for a supply issue is: If even a TEENY bit of placenta stayed adhered to the uterine wall, it tells your body there is still "a pregnant status". I worked weeks with one woman, and was not aware that her bleeding was likely too heavy for too long...... she looked amazing, so looks can be deceiving. This was noted at her 6 week check and thanks to an astute obstetrician, he scheduled her for a D and C....within the 1 hour recovery, you could not believe the engorgement she got, mostly from all of us doing things the past 6 weeks to stimulate and increase in her supply. Her little girl HOVERED just above the "failure to thrive" parameters. We all learned something !!!! Unspoken was that she had been mentally beating herself up for having breast augmentation surgery many years prior to marrying and having this little one, but all along it was a placental fragment left behind. Just a note to help you or any other mama out there. Your post partum bleeding status IS very important.
RIGHT!? That's exactly how I felt, especially with Cruzs health challenges. I'm both relieved and empowered by my results. I will absolutely be using these next time we have a baby. 100% for sure.
So you're for sure on a next baby?? Lol, but yes, these look so cool! We're working out some nursing issues with my 1 month old, so I definitely want to get these and monitor my milk for nutritional content!
I 100% want another baby. Hubby isn't 100% on board due to all the recent events in the world. But I'm determined to have one more :-) I hope you work out your nursing issues, nursing- and long term nursing is such a beautiful experience. I wish every Mama could experience it.

Very cool! I would have tried them in water just to see if all the strips show the same results with different liquids
Oh that's a great idea! If I repeat it I'll do that! Thanks for the idea!
This is really cool. Baby number 2 is coming and I plan on tandem feeding these will be very useful for me.
I might give this a try. I'm curious.
What a cool product. I want to try them just out of curiosity.
