I'm so excited that I'm able to produce so much milk! I'm praying it stays this way🙏🏼🍼

are you exclusively pumping? this is great.. if you need any pointers or help feel free to inbox me . I EP and nurse.. without an oversupply ♡

I was nursing and pumping but it was too much for me, I felt like my boobs were never getting a break, so now I just pump, I feel much better and not as overwhelmed @gypsy.soul2 but do you have any tips on how to make sure I can keep my supply up? Like is there anything certain that you eat or anything like that? I know lots and lots of water is important but anything else?

How many hours do you ladies pump? I'm nursing and pumping right now but eventually would like to just pump

I pump for 20 minutes, every 3 hours. @hayesmommy

eat steel cut oats, flax seed, and drink a lot of water and gatorade.

stay away from energy drinks, peppermint and Sudafed and a few other medicines that have D at the end.

pump every 2hrs for the first 6weeks and every 2 to 3 hrs after the 6week mark ♡

around the 12 week mark your supply will regulate so DON'T panic bc it'll feel like your supply is gone but it's not lol

I'm gonna follow you so you can inbox me for anything ♡

definitely get a hands free bra too @mommamandy0716

Okay! Thank you! Right now I only pump every 3 hours and I was told after 6 weeks to go down to 4 hours. But maybe I'll just keep it at 3 hours. And yes! I was definitely considering getting one 😊 @gypsy.soul2

definitely. I have simple wishes one and loveeee it

@mommamandy0716, @gypsy.soul2 do you guys still keep that schedule overnight? I'm really trying to get my supply up because I will probably just exclusively pump and I'm working on regulating a schedule but having trouble with the overnight because she's sleeping so well at night...

I do! I gave alarms set so it goes off every 3 hours, it's loud enough that it wakes me up but quiet enough that it doesn't bother him

@jleightutt, ^

Thank you! I've had a hard time even keeping track of time but I'm working on it so I can get a good schedule down... I'm following you for support, lol☺️ its good to know someone else who is exclusively pumping.

No problem! My schedule looks exhausting but it honestly isn't that bad, my body is getting used to it already 😊

@jleightutt, just realized I didn't tag you in my previous comment lol

@jleightutt, I pump twice between 1am and 5am.. those are the hours your prolactin levels are the highest... and then I'll usually sleep about four hours after that unless I wake up

my supply has regulated so I'm able to pump every 5 hours and still have a good supply but before it regulated I pumped 1am, 3am, 6am, 9am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 10pm
