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.
@sawyersmom i would probably have to get my husbands help hand expressing. No joke he makes them lactate more than i can right now
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 yeah but she recommended that i use the pump
You can still hand express. Just stimulate around the nipple. Do you have a lactation consultant
@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
@viiviian.aiide @momofacoolchick @sawyersmom @mavrich19 thank you :) im trying. I just want her to get better so she can come home
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! 💞💞💞💞
You'll get a lot more with hand expression at this point
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
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 !!!

Completely full & im not done pumping yet! 😍😍 I feel so blessed to be able to produce so much milk for my baby 🙏🏽
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce (not stop or dry up) my milk supply? Nicole never latched properly so I pump. A series of events her first week led me to be determined to produce plenty for her. I was under the impression that you could only produce what your body can handle, which isn’t the case. Being completely wiped of energy and being cold easy is not fun. I’ve tried to cut back on my pumping time but I can produces 4 oz out of each breast after 5 minutes. Last night I hav...
@sawyersmom i think its funny how they can stimulate them better than we can
