3:44am just got done with my first morning pump attempt. I didnt produce enough to collect. I only produced a couple of drops. For the next 4hrs every 2hrs im gonna pump. If i dont get anything ill still go see her, but im hoping to have something to give her when i go see her. My body was ready to produce for her and so far its amazed me that ive gotten anything at all. I probably wouldve had more sucess had i been able to naturally breast feed her, but then again maybe not bc with her being a premi its exspected for my milk to take a few days to come in. As long as it comes in. *fingers crossed* please body provide milk for her. She needs it more than anything right now. Please body let it get easier so she can recover faster.

Hey girl, prayers for you n your baby!
Im sure you'll produce just keep pumping .
Almost the same happened to me, they took my baby to the nicu and I had to pump for my baby and now I'm pouring like there's no tomorrow lol , so you'll do fine :) hope it all gets better !!!

Just keep pumping even when you're exhausted pump. My daughter was a preemie & I pumped constantly just to make 1 to 2 oz bottles for her. Try to stay hydrated and eat(even though that's hard to do at the moment). Good luck

You'll get a lot more with hand expression at this point

I had the same issue as you had a couple of weeks ago. My daughter was 3 weeks premature though and I tried breast feeding for her but since she was so small she would tire herself out more quickly and wouldn't get the nutrients she needed which then caused a situation with her blood sugar being low. Mama you are doing everything that you can and what's right for your baby 💞💞💞 praying for you both! 💞💞💞💞

@sawyersmom i think my breasts are to small to do that. Im having to use the pump bc mine are so small that theres nothing to really grab to hand express

You can still hand express. Just stimulate around the nipple. Do you have a lactation consultant

@sawyersmom yeah but she recommended that i use the pump

I would at least try some hand expression. But you're doing great! Keep up the good work! And save those drops in a syringe!

@sawyersmom i would probably have to get my husbands help hand expressing. No joke he makes them lactate more than i can right now

That's normal! I needed my husbands help too!
