I've breastfed both my kids & plan to do so again with this baby. I'd like to pump& freeze but since I never have, can anyone give me any helpful tips? I have a Medela breast pump already.
I do both, pump & breastfeed. She eats from me, & when she's finished i pump whatever is left. Its supposed to make you produce more milk
with a medela make sure your flanges and parts are changed out often bc they can effect the pump. try waiting to pump til your supply regulates.. we're you wanting to exclusively pump or half and half ? @momma003
I was always told pump every two hours and pump when baby isn't eating from the other breast. never did that but others that have say it is worth it.
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 💖💖
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Kinda sad I have to pump and dump all of that
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.
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....
that dose sound like a plan. thanks
