for breastfeeding mom's who pump and give the boob. has anyone tried this ? I'm trying it now . I need to increase my milk lol
as long as you're not achy or in pain its okay to pump every hour for a short period of time. But if you start to ache or bleed you should stop before you damage the nipple. (:
Oh ok.. the funny thing is I bought peppermint tea but now I'm not going to use it. I never drink coffee for that reason. so maybe I shouldn't do this all the time . how about pumping every hour @fallwithautumn
To increase supply pump more often but not like this, you can seriously damage your nipples. 20mins every 1.5-2 hours, drink water and plenty of other fluids, eat what your body craves nursing cravings are important to listen to, avoid excess caffeine, avoid peppermint, eat whole oats!
I pump and give boob lol so I do both. but I'm just trying to increase my supply @fallwithautumn oooo can u send me the recipe for lactation brownies .. and I'll try Gatorade thanks for the tip ! @_akgirl _ak
my sister did this it helped a little.
I just pump on a schedule (around nursing my son) and I dont have any issues. also pump after you nurse to get the rest of the milk baby didnt get.
no I have not, but I would just pump more often I use to do every 4 hrs now I'm back to every 2 hrs
I'm also trying to increase my supply. drink Gatorade!! I've been drinking noting but for the past 2days and have been able to pump after each feeding. I'm also making lactation brownies this weekend.
ok ! if not I'll do every 1.5 hours . thanks girl !! @fallwithautumn
