So I have been pumping & bottlefeeding my newborn. I went from pumping five ounces or more in like ten mins to now being lucky to get three or less :( can your milk disappear overnight? Or just by not actually putting baby to breast?
The first two week a new momma shouldn't pump at all. That's what I know. Put baby on all the time. Baby eating on your boob and pumping is two different things. Your body will know when baby is eating. But whatever you pump out, doesn't say how much milk you actually have. Pumped milk can be less than what your baby is actually eating. Your body will know when it's time for the baby to feed, so if you pump on several occasions, it can be out balanced, if that makes any sense.
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 💖💖
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.
I need to find a breast pump that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. :(
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....
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.
I know you didn't ask all of that lol, but mine is 10 weeks now and I kinda experienced the same thing, just not with pumping.
