hey mamas, I've been exclusively pumping I nurse a couple times a day but I pump every 3 to 4 hours. but when it comes close to the time that I need to pump again I get a stinging and sharp shooting pain in both nipples. it comes and goes.. it's gotten to be less lately but I'm still confused as to what it is? anyone else experience this?

You can get a let down before feeding to. That's why you can leak a lot and have a let down when a baby cries. My let downs happen more during feeding now but what she describes is a let down and I use to get them a lot to before feeding. It's just you milk coming to the nipple and your not always feeding. @thehowtohippie

it's like right when the 3rd hour hits and I have to pump I'll get the pain. I've been trying to research it but not sure what it could be. @preggerstone @thehowtohippie

@preggerstone, that's not a let down if she hasn't started pumping or nursing yet

it's not me being engorged, the pain is just my nipples.. I'd what it could be..
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
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 💖💖
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.
So I read that nipple stimulation and pumping can help start labor.. If I pump colostrum will my milk come in? I don't wanna pump all the colostrum away before my baby gets here
Your Story How did you come to the decision to exclusively pump? I would love to get to know others' stories!
