I am breastfeeding and I pump throughout the day to bottle feed, & put baby on my breast once at night. Will my milk stop being produced after a while? or as long as I'm pumping it'll produce?
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Breast pump covered by insurance I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
Today was the day I was Able to submit my order for my free breast pump! 😍😍.
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 breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....

okay, Thank you so much! Also, how many times do you think I should skin to skin breastfeed instead of bottle feed throughout the day? @ladyameliasmama

During the day pump every 2-2 1/2 hours. You can go 3-4 at night to get rest. If you aren't resting you won't produce. Make sure you're staying very hydrated and eating a healthy diet:)

So how often shall I pump? @ladyameliasmama

Not true. One persons production isn't everyone's production. I know who have exclusively pumped for a year or more and have a healthy suppmy

As long as you are consistently pumping you will produce milk. I exclusively pump for my daughter

Your body will start to lose production. Pumping only tells your body to make so much... its best to have your baby latch as much as possible. When I went back to work and pumped every couple hours vs latching every couple hours I lost almost half of my supply within a couple months
