(4/4) “I just recently found out that I’m pregnant. I am worried my supply is going to tank. I’ve been thinking about reaching out to other moms to see if I can find some help with wet nursing. We have been in Wisconsin for 15 years. I have friends that would wet nurse for me out there, but we just moved back to Portland, OR and I don’t have the connections out here yet. I would feel better knowing I had a way to provide him the nutrition if I start to dry out. There could be a real possibility he is going to end up needing feeding tubes. He lost 3 lbs in the last 3 months, about a pound a month. I’m not sure how small a kid has to get before the pediatrician say it’s time. I would like to avoid it if possible; I’m really hoping to find a local mother willing to help me.”
