I feel like I'm failing as a mom already ): I wanted to breastfeed SO bad. I feel like I got robbed a bonding experience with my daughter. Sorry just feeling down.. 😔
drink the prenatal the prenatal makes u keep producing and put hot clothes on ur boobs and hot shower them it will make milk come out u could pump more often the more often u do it the more Ull produce
I need to find what the name of the cookies are.... they are cookies that help you produce more milk & for it to not dry I saw alot of mommas that eat them
Anytime, it's been 7 yrs now so my knowledge is a bit rusty. I can't remember what the tea is called which is why I didn't mention it ha oatmeal I think was another thing that helped a bit. I did get a diff amt often tho & would cry so hard if I spilled any of it. Can be very nerve wracking to deal with, don't be hard on yourself tho and just do what you can. ☺️
I have been reading about it more! I've been pumping every three hours and it just seems I'm getting less every time ): I want to go find some tea that helps milk supply. That's so awesome of you for exclusively pumping for that long!! I hope I can go that long. I'm getting discouraged but I'll read about it more today and try to get it back up. Thank you so much for your advice! (: @christineann
Have you sought out some support from exclusive pumpers? There's a lot of tips & tricks. I had a ton of issues with my son so ended up pumping for 9 months. Every 2.5 hrs around the clock. But if you pump for now you can work on latch in a few wks perhaps. My first suggestions are to make sure you have the right size shields on your pump, keep baby with you while pumping, do your best to relax, drink plenty of water and stay on top of it every 2 hrs or so.
My nipples are too flat and because she was so early he mouth is so tiny not even the nipple shield works ): and I've been pumping and still giving her breast milk but my supply is already drying up ):
