Only 3 weeks and there's already 50+ oz or breast milk in my freezer! Breast feeding has had its challenges but we're sticking to it! 😊

@carterclaytonb, I almost had to get donor milk when I had my daughter.. She was only 5 pounds at birth and went down to 4.5 because I wasn't producing enough milk. Thankfully after a week my milk started flowing
@missjuline, I'm stocking up for when I go back to work.
@missjuline, looking good! That's nice of you to think about donating. What a wonderful gift to give to another baby.
@lezette, some is better than none! My son doesn't nurse off both breasts at feedings yet so I'll pump one while he nurses on the other helps get more ounces because the natural let down reflex happens quicker and is more effective than pumping alone.
@bjeff, I was too. Haha. This is my second and I didn't prepare for going back to work very well with my first. so I was always stressing about my supply which made it go down. We made it to a year of breastfeeding and this time I'm gunning for two years. So we'll see. 🙃
I need to start pumping more often then. ☹️ I'm sad, because every time I pump, I only get like 3oz or 2.
I pump every time my baby takes a nap. And sometimes at night. Or when im riding in the car and he's asleep. (Basically whenever I can) Sometimes I only get 1-2 oz but others I get 4-5. (It adds up quicker than you'd think) Just depends. It's been hard and discouraging at times but just gotta stick to it. I had gotten mastitis about a week ago and that really motivated me to empty my breast as much as possible to avoid that situation again. @lezette
That's so awesome! I'm worried more about breastfeeding and pumping then I am of unmedicated labor and delivery.
How did you do that? Lmao that is a lot of milk!
It’s literally in the Bible they ate the fruit and realized they were naked and sought clothing. There is a law for indecent exposure... quit acting surprised if someone is freaked out by your seeing your breast it’s been instilled in us since the very beginning. *have to edit before the breastfeeding community comes at me lol I’m talking about a lady who was wearing a crop top with no bra and only half the boob was covered and me and my boyfriend had to witness this and yes someone said somethi...
LADIES !!!!! IM IN SHOCK!!!! so my period showed up a day earlier than expected, as you know I took those two blue dyes, both had a faint positive. Well the next day, I tested with a FRER and a Walmart 88 cent test and both were very very negative. Then I had a temp drop below coverline. AF showed the following day, a day early. I just knew i was out !! Well, yesterday I was sick as hell when I woke up, i get to work, and discover that my boobs are very sore as i ran into a wall coming around th...

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Just curious who breastfed & who bottle fed :) I’m going to bottle feed even though I have been told endless of times breast is best! But wondering what’s popular, what do you all prefer? :) xx
Any breastfeeding moms have weaning advice ? My almost 2 year old doesn’t want to stop and throws tantrums when I tell him no. My breast have been super sore and He’s bitting not on purpose but when he falls asleep feeding and I have to wait until I can pull away.
I'm glad that everything worked out well for you. I'm sure that some momma will be really happy to have your milk.
