@schevanya yeah the shield didn't work for me. So pumping and bottle it is :)

I'm just pumping and giving in the bottle she doesn't latch only if I have the shield but it makes a little harder to hold baby, milks gets everywhere. ..

@hayleymarie Thank you will Def be asking if I have questions :).

Girl you should be proud ! It takes true commitment to pump and feed ! Especially when it would be sooo much easier just to give formula. Every ounce counts ☺️ just remember to drink tons of water...you're welcome & if you have any more questions feel free to ask ☺️

@hayleymarie okay cool I've been doing every 2 hours she is only 2 days old and I got 1oz! I was proud lol. Thank you for the info.

For the first 6 weeks I pumped every 2 hours to establish my supply and now I've been pumping every 4 hours since I have an over supply...I still get the same amount as I did when I was pumping every 2 it's just all at once and not split up I get 6-8oz every time I pump

@hayleymarie I bought the Medela and then I will be getting the bra thing to make hands free. How often do you pump?

Me too I will let them latch for the first month then ween them off but still pump into the bottle!

I plan on pumping and bottle feeding as well.

I've been exclusively pumping for almost 2 months now ☺️I've got inverted nipples and she was tongue tied to breast feeding did not work for us we tried the shield as well as a bunch of other things and that wasn't working... I suggest investing in a really good pump if you plan to exclusively pump cause you'll be using it A LOT ...I have the freemie freedom since it frees up my hands to do other things ☺️

@courtney_boyea pretty good my supply is very high they say so that makes me feel good

@senadas4_14_2015 yes I was given a shield it did not work

@firefly,

I honestly wanted to just do that and only that. how's everything going so far?

ohhh okayy that makes sense 😃 thank you @firefly

ima try and do both but dont know if that would confuse my daughter @firefly

The Lactation lady told me it's easier for them to suck from a bottle then breast, they don't have to use their other mouth muscles to suck from a bottle but do from the breast. @seleneromanortiz12

A lot of women have inverted nipples like myself, so my daughter will latch but can't latch well. So i was hand expressing now pumping and bottle feeding will try breast again when my milk is in. @seleneromanortiz12

@firefly,

i was actually thinking about doing that because ima have to go back work im afraid its gonna throw her off going from my boob to bottle you know??.
