Is there anyway I can keep my milk flowing while I wait on the breast pump??

Nurse your baby. You don't need a pump to maintain supply.

Keep nursing and hand express. You shouldn't put until after 6 weeks

@jae, I can't nurse until I get off these medicines.

@momofdeuce, I can't nurse until I get off the pain medicine.

Then hand express . that should help .

@momofdeuce, okay.

I nursed on pain meds. Who said u couldn't?

@lifewithlynniejade88, the dr. What kind of pain meds were you on?

Well at the hospital they gave me Percocet & afterwards they gave me Tylenol 3s & I also took Percocet from the dentist for tooth pain around 4 months postpartum & my OB okayed it.

@lifewithlynniejade88, I'm on oxycodone & ibuprofen.

The Percocet was oxycodone 10mg I think. But the doctor probably knows what he's talking about, so maybe just hand express until u get ur pump.

@lifewithlynniejade88, can you tell me what hand express means please. I'm new to the breastfeeding lingo.

U can look it up, I've never really done it. You just get the milk put yourself. Like squeeze a certain way I think.

@lifewithlynniejade88, Okay Thanks !
