i have the "first years" double electric pump..but i noticed after 5 mins of pumping the milk just stops..i pump for 15mins and only get an ounce or two all together. I've been pumping every few hours..once i stop the pump i can still get milk using my fingers so i don't know why the pump isn't getting it..help??
ive tried the nipple shield too lol you get 3-4oz from each breast or all together? @senadas4_14_2015
I use a manual pump already a month and i pump every 2 1/2 hrs _3hrs and get out 3to4ounces. @teenmommy17
Maybe its you nipples that arent for latching on like mines. i use one of the nipple shields and he eats directly from breast and bottle.@teenmommy17,
my supply has increased but the pump isn't getting it..@senadas4_14_2015,
exactly and my baby won't latch since he's had the easy life of a bottle lol @senadas4_14_2015
Same here. Even an expert on nursing told me the same. you really cant do anything about it, just keep pumping until you milk supply increases and it should. But they said if you breastfeed directly he/she will get more than you pump out always. The sucky part is we dont know how many ounces they eat through the breast
My babies Pediatrician said if he feeds more on the breast i will have more milk. and if my baby starts eating later lets say every few hours i know ill have more than 4-5ounces. @teenmommy17
