so I've been pumping for 3 days and my Breast hurt if I don't pump so much but my baby girl don't drink that much is there something I can do to calm it down?
Try to massage your breast while you pump to help get the milk out. If your nipples hurt you can try coconut oil to lube while you pump or BeauGen's nipple cushions. Also make sure you pump often enough so you don't get any clogged ducts. You're doing a great job mama!!
, but don't stop pumping all together or you'll get plugged ducts which may lead to mastitis. Slowly cut down the number. Slowly!
You'll have more than you need in the beginning. It'll regulate in some weeks.
Pumping keeps the milk flowing. If you have an oversupply, continuous pumping makes it worse. Thats why most lc dont recommend pumping until after 6 weeks when your supply is regulated unless you are strictly pumping and not putting the baby to your breast
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
my free breast pump is on its way I'm so excited .. so glad that I didn't have to pay so much money for a breast pump
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...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
