I'm not going to be breastfeeding at night or pumping because I take epilepsy meds and that's when the levels are the highest. So will it be okay to go all night without breastfeeding or pumping? Will it hurt my supply or anything?
Yes defintity call your WIC office for a Lactation consultant, sorry I didn't get the notification. @thompsonmomma
save the milk by freezing it and at bath time each night thaw some out and put it in the bath water, enough to make it cloudy. it's good for baby acne, diaper rash, dry skin, and cradle cap. when I have to throw milk away it makes me wanna cry so this would be a good way to avoid that :)
There's one at the wic office, im going to ask her. I know my medicine makes me really drowsy at night time but that's really the only side effect it has so im wondering if it would just be okay to breastfeed him and night @meghanrae
I agree. . if you can't feed it you should pump and dump.. it will hurt your supply otherwise.
It sounds like it if you can't let you baby have that milk.. But I'm not completely sure... I would call your OBGYN and ask your doctor what to do. Or if you have a Lactation consultant I would ask her. @thompsonmomma just to be sure
So should I just pump and dump? @meghanrae I REALLY hate to be wasting all of that lol
you're welcome!
