Finally pumped about 2 1/2 oz power pumping. I know that doesn't sound like anything but I haven't managed to ever pump more than 1 1/2 oz before so I'm feeling encouraged. Yesterday I only pumped 1 oz because Auggy wouldn't sleep and go long enough between feeds for me to really pump anything!! Just got in my brewers yeast and bought Gatorade today so we will see if that helps. I wonder why I pumped more today..
@verobaby I'll keep all of that in mind. thank you!
mom's who do that over produce. it can cause lots of problems with pain & lumps. the average is 2 to 4 oz. i used to over produced for a long time. i would have so many problems with discomfort. some moms also respond better to the pump than others. but you are on the right track. i suggest pumping at night you always have more milk than & once baby gets older & nurses less often it gets easier. staying super hydrated also makes a huge difference for me. also remember the oz you pump can also change from time of day & day to day so don't be discouraged if it isn't as much. my pumping oz became so unreliable after my son turned 6 months. sometimes id get 2 oz sometimes 4. depending on the day & time.
@verobaby Thanks, girl! I'm trying. I'm so jealous of mommas who get like 5 + oz after 30 minutes of pumping but I need to learn to be grateful for what I am managing to produce
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...
no problem good luck!
