It's so hard to pump every two hours let alone doing it at night so you have to be up to pump at least for 20 min then feed my daughter... It's like u don't mind feeding her at night but to pump when I am half asleep is rly rly hard! I fall asleep well pumping.... Urg
I make 2 to 3 oz every 2 -3 hours and I pump for only 15 min ! I also take blessed thistle fenugreek supplements and drink mothers milk tea daily !! I wear an sports bra i cut the nipple area out so I can hands free pump makes it easier at night so you don't have to hold the shields up and I just set a timer on my phone works well
you may not respond to a pump well. some women don't. try hand expressing I know it's wayyyygy more work and rather difficult so I wouldn't at night for now but you will probably get more
Just keep doing it. You'll make more. Or so they say. I make about the same maybe a little more.
Right it is so hard!!! Like in 20 min I only make one oz and that's like so annoying!! @princevince
I feel your pain. I never get any sleep even though my son sleeps it's crazy
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
I EBF I hardly pump.. thing is I start school on Tues and I need to start pumping so I can leave some milk for my husband to feed him while I'm gone it's a 4 hour class what should I do?
Trying to shave but I cant see anything I don't want my baby to come out while the doctors are trying to see through my hair:( it's so hard and now it's really itchy I shouldn't of put creme after words !!!!!! Shaving has never been so hard :(
crying over spilled milk
I'm literally crying over spilled milk. My breastmilk! I had a good 4-5 oz pumped and it spilled. It's hard to breastfeed let alone pumping on top of that. You have to have a schedule and stick to it. It's hard getting up at night to feed and then pump. Then do it over and over every 2-3 hours. I even feed on demand. I get up at 1am 3am 5 am then 8 am. I feed on demand all day until 11pm. I'm sorry for rambling. I'm only 6 days postpartum so maybe it's my hormones, but ...
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared...
That's a really good idea @mommyofmisters I will have to try that!!
