NURSING MOTHERS,
I understand all babies are different, but I'm going to share my story about FENUGREEK.
I thought I'd try it to increase my milk supply, I suppose it worked bc I've pumped almost 10 oz where as I haven't been able to pump more than half an oz in WEEKS.
HUGE DOWNFALL:
My son is EXTREMELY GASSY. I've taken them for 3 days @3 pills a day 600+mg a piece. He's been screaming for over an hour and he's just now stopped.
Anyone whose ever had kids knows how miserable everyone is when a baby is gassy, especially the baby. It's NOT fun.
So, what will I do with the 10 oz I've pumped? I'm not sure yet. If I throw it, I have NO stash. Whatsoever.
Bad thing about this is, it will continue to be this way for a few days until it's out of my system.
In conclusion, I will NOT be taking ANYMORE of these vitamins as I stopped last night. My baby is just too miserable and it breaks my heart to see him hurt.. Especially if I can prevent it from being worse than it usually is..
I may be writing a letter about FENUGREEK, for I'm not the only parent whose baby has suffered with this.
As long as bottles are pacefed with the a appropriate amount, he won't refuse the breast later. The full feeling is bad and if you were to pump while full, it won't solve the problem. Hand express when full.
come to find out, there was no nipple confusion @meagansimone due to paced feeding :)
I wish I would have pumped more in the beginning bc I would have had some stored away. but I got really upset when I first pumped bc I thought I was going to be replaced by a bottle and thought he wouldn't take me anymore. lol so whenever I'd get "full" I'd just run and stand in the shower :( @meagansimone
Oh ok, injust see so many women trying to strive for that amount when it's unhealthy unless you're only pumping.
sorry @meagansimone I guess I should have specified... 10oz was not in one session. that was in a period of two days.
Hopefully after its out of your system you can continue to pump bigger amounts still
That's a side effect, sadly. 10 oz in one pump session is a major oversupply alo.
Good morning ladies. Sorry I been ignoring yall but I have been so miserable the past days I'M STILL PREGNANT my contractions would be strong for hours and it looked like I was gonna have a baby then everything just stopped so I got sent home. they said I have to wait till my appointment Wednesday so I can talk to my doctor about the next step. I HATE THIS 😢😢😩
I really want to exclusively breast feed.. my baby doesn't latch well an i can't pump more than 4 oz a day. I was to stop using formula but I have no idea how to increase my supply no matter how many times I power pump, put baby to breast, pump every 2 hours. my supply never increases as a fact it's dropped I'm barely getting 2 oz a day now :'( I feel like my body is failing me
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.
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 💖💖

will be 16 weeks in 2 days and not showing and I've lost 10 pounds, can I see 15-17 weeks bellies, my Dr is worried about my weight lost and baby is measuring small
That's great!
