Mommies I would like to ask how soon did u start using pacifier and pump your milk to feed baby? My days old baby…

I pumped right away. I pumped in the hospital cos he couldn't latch the first two days. Get your pump on girl!

you are welcome

No problem, I have always been. I don't want to say it's a problem because I know lots of mom's who don't produce or have trouble and I never have. My doctor told me when I had my 1st son almost 13 years ago that I produce a lot of milk.y daughter is 3 and I haven't breastfeed her in over a year and I could pump now if I wanted. It's crazy lol. My cousin is a Doula and says I'm like a dairy cow. I have thought about donating it but I usually need it and when I don't I thin kto myself do I really want leaking boobs.

Be Careful pumping so soon you could overproduce and your little one can get sick, mine would throw up and have bad gas I guess the flow was to fast or something

I will now @sarahdrew, thank you so much for your help👍🏻😭

@arachelle, my nipples dont have problem. Yes i think we are the same we overproduce milk. Thank you for your feedback👍🏻👍🏻 great help.

I would definitely pump mama, you don't want clogged ducts or mastitis....

@sarahdrew, he is 4 days old, im just scared to use pump as early as now coz yes doctors said milk is still regulating. Im from philippines and ftm, we have different practices there. Im happy to hear your experience👍🏻👍🏻 this made gave me relief

Omg pump!!! I too pumped while still in the hospital and had very successful nursing (until 3 years with both my girls)

I pumped while I was in the hospital and had at least 6 bottles ready when I left. I have never heard of waiting to pump. Also if you get mastitis they will make you pump or feed to get the infection out. if your breasts are engorged I would pump then try feeding later. Or pump one side while feeding on the other. You may be like me and over produce milk.

they say not to pump until 4 weeks because your milk is still regulating

does baby latch correctly? I would say, this is my opinion, once baby has latched to pump after to get some relief, however that being said it will tell your body to produce more milk.... exactly how old is baby? they go thru a growth spurt at about 7 days I beleive I was told so baby may want to eat more (cluster feed) .... I actually started a pacifier in the hospital and my daughter still breastfed, she still is 7 months later, however she gave up the paci at about a month on her own
