Need help, I'll probably have a run on sentence but idk how to word this lol. So I'm going to a wedding in June, and I won't be taking my son, my mother will be watching him, I'm going to nurse him before I leave but I won't be back till the next day probably around noonish. I also formula feed so while I'm gone he's going to have more formula bottles then breast, I'm going to pump enough so he can have it for night. He refuses to drink frozen bm so I'm hoping he'll take it just refrigerated. soooo anyways, I was wondering how much I should pump during the wedding, it's at 430, we'll probably leave the house about 300. I'll also be drinking. Sorry guys it was so long I just can't think of how I'm going to do this.. I've never been away from my son for more then a few hrs. :(
Ya ide pump before and then after and I'm sure ude be fine. If ur supplementing with formula ur prob nursing what every few hits at home? If that?
It's not a certain time when he nurses because I supplement with formula so it's all different /: so maybe before the reception I'll pump, then pump during if it's like 4 hrs then when I get back to the hotel room. I'm going to pump a couple days before & see if I can get a few bottles for that night. @regelbaby , thank you!
Pump when u would normally nurse. I went to a wedding a cpl of weeks ago and even tho I should have pumped while I was there I didn't.. My boobs were just extra engorged in the morning but it did not effect my supply. And ide try giving him breastmilk out of the fridge first, I'm sure he'll take it but usually the reason they won't drink frozen is bc some mothers milk has something in it I can't remember what it's called that changes the flavour of it. You can get rid of it by scalding the milk before u freeze it.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
AFTER YALL HAD YALL C SECTION HOW LONG DID YALL WAIT TO HAVE A DRINK IM STRESSED N WANT A DRINK I BREAST FEED BUT I PUMP SO I DO FORMULA TOO
I'm probably the youngest person on this app! And no matter how much support I have, I'm so afraid of being judged....
I think I'm going to do breastfeeding and see how he attaches to me & if not I'm going to put him on breastmilk formula.
I nurse during the night, nap times, it really all depends lol I'm pretty lucky that I even have a supply still.
