I'm really trying to breastfeed longer this time bit I have no idea how to do it so I can breastfeed longer than 2 months. I keep breastfeeding My Babygirl and its 20min on one side and She stops and wants more few mins later how does the scheduling work? Is it the same as formula schedule every 3hrs? TIA

Omg Thank You soo much now I understand it! @4xmeislove really appreciate it, I tried googling answers but it just confused Me more.
oh yeah i forgot to mention that if you pump it and don't put it right in the fridge or the freezer it lasts for about 3 to 4 hours
So if I go out and pump before I leave how long can that milk last out without being in the freezer? I am so sorry some parts are jist so confusing lol @4xmeislove
Giving a baby formula when you go out is never bad especially if your breastfeeding at home, you can pump and save the milk. in the fridge it'll last about 5 days, in the freezer if it's fresh it'll last about 2 weeks to like 6 months and up to a year in the Deep Freeze :) just know that if you don't use formula though it can save you $1,500
Sorry for bothering ladies but one last question...Is it bad if I breastfeed at home and when We go out give Her formula? Or do I pump amd save the milk or how long does it last? @wiccanmommy @crunchymomma
Oh okay than I am doing it right cause I'm realizing that She asks for it every hour and I was kinda scared I was feeding Her too much. Thank You ! @wiccanmommy
people will tell you it's a schedule, but it's not. nursing on demand is best. especially this young.
I would try to offer both breasts every nursing session, but it's okay if she only nurses on one side. but nurse her every time she gives you hunger cues.
feed when they want it.. don't go by a clock.. it averages every 2 hrs at first, but watch your baby's cues cause they are all different. feed on demand while you can, then you should start to see a pattern. the first 6 weeks are the most important for regulating how much milk you produce.
Are your boobs supposed to hurt the whole time you breastfeed or does it eventually stop the longer you do it? This is my third day and I can't stand how my boobs feel 😫
Did any moms breastfeed if so how long?I was only able to breastfeed my son for a week or two weeks I had a hard time getting him to latch and I would bleed when he wasnt latched right and they would hurt so bad and leak so much ....any suggestions or tips?🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Is it okay too use pacifiers or not ?? I am gonna breastfeed though. And how long should I breastfeed ??
68 more days to go
How much longer do you mamas have and time sure does feel like it's standing still.
you can definitely give formula if it's your choice just remember breastfeeding is a demand & supply. if you skip a feeding you are telling your body you don't need that milk. it takes more than a day for it to affect your supply but just a heads up. after you regulate is when i suggest supplementing. but if baby gets full off one side i also suggest pumping the other side if you plan on going out. i would pump & store in the freezer then take one already there to defrost for the day because then it lasts 24 hours vs 5 hours with fresh pumped milk. does that make sense? i pump & breast-feed my son for 8 months.
