anyone use a bottle for a couple of feedings through the day like pump their milk so daddy can feed and mommy can sleep? I'm only21 weeks and just trying to plan on breastfeeding and letting daddy take over a few times
You know they say wait till at least 6 weeks but I pumped once a day at 8 weeks and started to have issues. I honestly didn't regulate until like 15 weeks! I would encourage to nurse for awhile. They start to sleep longer anyway. Just word of caution. I stopped pumping and have zero issues. But that's just my story. :)
Yes but I would wait at least 4 to 6 weeks so that your supply is well established before pumping! And make sure whenever daddy gives a bottle that you are pumping! Otherwise your supply might dip!
i didn't have a choice but pump. My son was in the NICU for 10 days. I have to supplement now breast and formula because I am not producing enough for every feed. My son is 6 wks now. :(
