I've been pumping so that I can build up a stash and eventually start working again. But now it's like I don't have enough to feed my baby after the fact because he's still fussy after eating and he stays latched for almost a hour or more and I only pump once in the morning. Logically thinking my body should adjust to the new demand right ? And should I pump more than once even though it seems like not much is left afterwards?
@corinasolorio, okay thank you!! I think that will really help because even with the pumping 3 times a day I already notice more milk.. I can imagine what power pumping will do lol thanks again! :)
@corinasolorio, sorry to bug you but how does that work with bf as well like how did you fit that in and do you know how many sessions you should do in a day ?
same thing was happening to me! you can also feed on one side and pump the other! I either use a manual pump or self express at least an oz or so even when my breasts feel light and empty! I always make sure to sitch sides every feeding though! It is helping!
Pump after feedings I learned the hard way 😩 it's hard work I know but it works
@bentleysmomma, yeah I know once isn't enough I was just saying should I even try to pump more since there's not much left for my baby after.. without out pumping he eat just fine and is satisfied.. @corinasolorio that makes sense.. thank you:)
@klove23, it really will help! I had myself pumping an extra 6oz but then I have up and just let my milk regulate to my sons needs
