Okay, so I've been pumping for about five days now, my LOs are in the NICU, and my supply came in pretty strong. I have been trying to stay on top of pumping every 3 hrs or so. It used to be pretty even between what my boob's would put out but now my right boob will get hard and start to hurt but when I pump it comes out so slowly. I'm new to this so is this like a normal adjusting thing or do I may have a clogged duct? If so any recommendations mommies? Thank you!
Okay, I'll give that a try! Thank you! Yes it is hard, but I just take all my milk up there each visit, I wish I could afford to stay with them all the time!
Make sure you massage them good while pumping or before or both I know it hurts like crazy I couldn't imagine massing them those first view days ! Now I'm constantly mashing them like potatoes to get more milk 😂😭
This same things happens to me exactly I talked to my nicu nurse and she said it's probably to early for a clogged milk duct what I thought I had as well she recommended that I take a hot shower and let my breasts run under the hot water and massage my boobs very good esp the one not pumping as much to get the milk flowing ! Worked wonders hopefully it dos for you to! I know how stressful it can be to pump and visit your baby every two to three hours to feed him or her! My son had jaundice and I stayed in the hospital paid extra days to room there until he went home even though I was discharged already I was not leaving without my baby
@pinkleopard, okay, I'll look in to that. thanks! (:
