*Advice or Tips pls*

My son turnt a month old Wednesday an I've been breastfeeding since birth only pumped a few time's. Well I've started pumping an I'm only pumping about 3-4 oz an I've had to pump two bottles already tonight because he was still hungry. When I'm nursing him I have no problem, it seems as if he gets enough an my milk flows like crazy when I'm nursing. But I really need to start pumping more because I have to start my college classes soon.

Any tips or advice? 😕

And you usually aren't supposed to pump until 6 weeks when your supply is established

They're likely misinformed. 4 oz is more thn you should be pumping, it indicates an oversupply which is only good if you're exclusively pumping.

I am breastfeeding exclusively but I'm wanting to start pumping which is my problem, I'm not pumping enough for him so it's hard because I have to start classes soon but have to leave him bottles.

My baby is a week old, I breastfeed, pump and add formula at the end. My planned before was to breastfeed him exclusively but nah its easier said than done. So now i mix breastmilk and formula, which i think is better. Are you planning to breastfeed exclusively?

Skin to skin. Ask your OBGYN about what milk enhancers to take aswell. The main thing is to keep breast feeding every chance you can.

I need some advice my babies father gets really mad when he drinks liquor. He woke me up and started a big argument about the thermostat he completely destroyed the room and choked me this is the 2nd time he has done this. I'm going to church today and I'm not sure of what to do when he starts calling and texting to talk to me because he realized he messed up. I need some advice and solutions to help the problem.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

#mombassadorchat 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 son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related!
