Alright mommies I need some breast feeding help/advice. I have started pumping today. my son is 4 days old. I'm in too much pain and he has problems latching.
but I just pumped successfully for my 2nd time and got almost 1 ounce from both. my son is asleep, so should I put this in the fridge? and then pump again how soon? can I add it to the same bottle?
My son loves the bottle more than my breast 😫 he gets so fussy when I give him my breast but has no issue with with bottle. As long as his eating I’m okay with it. I’ve been pumping and I hate pumping!!
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related!

Breast pump covered by insurance I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
Today was the day I was Able to submit my order for my free breast pump! 😍😍.

Don't add to the same bottle and pump 30 mins

invest in a nipple shield, they're available at most walmarts and babies r us. my little guy had problems latching and I've been using it and it's helped a ton! as far as pumping, you could place it in the bags and freeze it, add to the same bottle and refrigerate it, but once it's chilled you can't add fresh pumped milk into it until it's chilled,.too. does that make sense lol

If you're going to be pumping only then you have to pump every time the baby is hungry so if he nurses every 2 hours you pump every 2 hours. Don't put fresh pumped milk in with old one that's been in the fridge unless you are going to feed him let's say you are feeding him in a bottle & he eats 3 oz you said you had 2 you can warm that up & add an oz of fresh pumped milk but never just add it to milk that has been in the fridge already. Also storage bags will be your bff & you can get them at Walmart or babies r us && if you are going to be exclusively nursing a nipple shield will confuse your baby & it will be hard to get him back on to your nipple I wouldn't recommend using it you kind just have to take the pain & help him learn my 2nd son had latching issues too but I just decided to exclusively pump with him

Get a bottle warmer! Don't use a microwave. Pump every 2 hours for 30 minutes. Buy fenugreek pills they are magic for milk!!! Drink lots of water & in 2 days you'll be pumping more than 3oz in each bottle!
