I would like to start storing extra breastmilk. I don't know how to go about it without leaving my baby hungry. For example, my baby feeds every four hours. So if i pump after 2, won't he be hungry after his feeding because there won't be as much milk as he's use to?
feed him before you pump. when he's done eating then pump the rest of the milk out of each side.
no even if you pump right before u feed your baby your baby will still get milk your body produces what the baby eats so if your body thinks your baby is eating more you produce way more if that makes any since: )
Pump after he eats. It will signal to your body to make more milk. So pump about 15 minutes right after each feeding. Keep up with water intake and eat other galactagogues like oatmeal :)
Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭
UGH!!! I'm so jealous of the girls that already start to leak I'm 36+3 & still NOTHING i know it can happen after birth but I get so damn worried that I won't produce any milk for my twins ... :'( what if i don't a few days after labor .. I'm screw I dnt want to formula feed my baby I'm not against it but breastfeeding is way better :'(
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Could the fact that I only eat two meals a day, everyday be the reason why I'm not producing enough breastmilk ? I need to give my baby formula after feedings because she's still hungry 😔😩 The most I can pump now is 3 oz total & she drinks 4-5oz now..
another way to increase is to pump 5 minutes past empty, it will help tell your body to make more. my son never latched but I pump to feed him. if you need support there are pumping groups on facebook with lots of tips and tricks to help out. some things to help increase your supply is ovaltine, Gatorade and oatmeal
