Ok so over this long weekend I barely pumped but breastfed my baby all weekend long. But when I do decide to pump I barely get anything. Can someone please tell me why?? And provide me with some HELP PLEASE!!!! Thx in Advance.
If your breast shields are too big or small you will not express correctly. Sometimes suction can be to strong or not enough. Massaging your breasts before pumping is a big help. I always preferred my hand pump because it worked so well. I would use a hand pump after electric pump just to be sure I was empty. Also like someone mentioned, pump one side while you're feeding and pump after to make sure you are empty. It tricks your boy into thinking your baby needs more.
@junesmommy_15 @cubanese I'm just at my wits end. Totally fustrated, baby doesn't like formula but I'm not producing enough to have to relaxed all day at daycare. I just want to be able to pump enough for my baby to be happy while I'm away
Maybe not. You'll get a lot of info from the moms in the group. Plenty of of us have gone through it so I am telling you this is something so common especially around your child's age. It is normal for us to worry though so I understand.
@cubanese don't ask me why but I thought u were the admin for the page
@cubanese I think I just sent a request to the right grp
@junesmommy_15 Yes I know. But literal 2oz between both breasts for 20 mins worth of pumping??!!! I think not???!!!!!
Normal. Baby gets more than pump anyway
@cubanese so it might not be that fact that I'm not producing as much it just might me the fact that my parts need to be replaced??
do you pump in addition to nursing normally? Two things can be going on, one your milk supply can be decreased if you aren't feeding/ pumping as much or the signals given by your babies saliva is triggering your milk to come out the most while nursing and it's only giving enough to fill the baby. I never get a lot if I pump unless my son doesn't eat and I pump to prevent engorging then I get a lot. To get your supply back up you can try Gatorade, lots of water , etc. and then alternate pumping and nursing to build your supply back up. Good luck mama!
I have checked and rechecked all of my pump parts. Nothing is cracked or broken. Seals are together and snug.
I don't know what some of those parts are @cubanese! Help me understand!
Opinion please!
Sorry for the long message....
The other day I saw someone on Facebook selling a breast pump... Please tell me it isn't just me who finds that weird...

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...
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 💖💖
I am trying hand expression but I suck at it. I don't think that I am doing it right. But I am massaging while pumping and I have gotten more that way @cubanese @acrg28
