so my milk really decreased, I can barely get an 1.5 ounces out every three hrs. I started taking birthcontrol 2 weeks ago and already got my period so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. should i just finish this pack and then stop so I don't mess up my supply. I'm exclusively pumping and would like to discontinue supplementing with formula but I'm not pumping enough right now. I did 2 hrs of power pumping today and will do another hour or two tonight. any suggestions to help get my supply back up? I'm also taking fenugreek
I wouldn't finish it. I would definitely ask to switch ASAP. I'm sorry, your doctor's should have known :(
@ciraclesmiracle I did tell them in breastfeeding, they also sucked as doctors through my whole pregnancy. should i not even finish this pack then?
Tri-cyclen ol has estrogen. That's what's killing your supply. If you keep taking it your milk will dry up completely. The mini pill is progesterone only. Did you tell your healthcare provider you're breastfeeding?!?!
what kind of birth control are you on? the mini pill is the only one that shouldn't affect your supply.
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.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
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 💖💖
Im so irritated with this exclusively pumping journey.
I cannot get my supply up, no matter how hard I try. 😤
Omg--I am so angry for you. That's incompetent. I would stop taking the pills and find a new doctor's office.
