I'm upset because I can't even pump enough milk for Carter's next feeding :/

Sorry, just now saw this! Pace feeding is feeding him so each ounce takes 5 minutes minimum to eat. it let's him know he's full so he doesn't overeat.

yea ur welcome @fancy.shattuck

what exactly is pace feeding? @mirandag

How often does he eat and are you pace feeding bottles?

stimulation is what produces more milk for your next feedings so you should feed your soon then pump after for 15 mins on each breast don't worry about how much comes out right now if you keep doing it you'll notice your milk supply start to increase in no time

@akla202

Thank you I'm gonna try them

I even tried pumping but still not enough.@fancy.shattuck,.

yes I did I had too.

@1130nnne,

I pump every 2-3 hours & can usually at least keep up but today isn't happening. I'm also worried about when I go back to work in 2 weeks

@fancy.shattuck,

maybe you can give him both, if you really can get a lot of milk, son he doesn't stay hungry, just pump more!!

Thank you @akla202 did you supplement with formula?

I'm trying so hard not to! But I don't want to have to give him formula. He eats 4oz & I only have 2.5 pumped @1130nnne

sorry I know how u feel I couldn't make enough either when I had my first and second one. so I'm going to try lactate cookies. I have a recipe for them. I will try and find it and post it on here.

drink a lot of water, don't give up:) I was like that too I felt I wasn't pumping a lot of milk but I didn't give up!!
