*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? 😕

@lizziekay392, welcome!!! if youre on fb, theres a pumping group with a ton of info!!!
i had to pump from the moment caleb was born...pump every 3 hours for 20 minutes. i had to every 2 hours because he was a newborn. and even power pump!!! 20 minutes on, 10 off, 10 on, 10 off, 10 on. lots of water!
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.
Oh okay I'm not sure. Everyone in my family keeps saying I should be pumping more an that I'm starving him because he eats so much do it's been stressful on me
You only pump once a day u til you have enough for first day. Baby nees 1 to 1.25 oz pr hour while taking a bottle
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.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
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...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
