@kaytibug2009, that's awesome keep up the good work 😀

@txyogagirl actually I didn't start pumping until she was already 2 months old. I had been expressing but the milk just kept coming so I just switched to the pump to make it faster. I spend less time getting the milk out and more time doing what I want.

@kaytibug2009, sorry for your loss that's awesome ur donating. Ur body is making so much because your using a breast pump I don't pump for the very reason I don't want oversupply. It just causes problems I haven't had any issues at all with breastfeeding almost 14months strong. If u ever stop pumping or can't u will get engorged so don't let ur baby sleep along stretch until you slowly wean from pump otherwise u be like me . I just had no clue it could happen so fast literally like 8hr

@txyogagirl because I produce so much milk I have some in the freezer for when my daughter needs it and we go on a trip or if I put her in daycare... the rest of the milk though I donate to the hospital because they will process it and run it through their systems and then give that milk out to NICU babies or to babies who their mothers are having problems being able to produce milk but they do not want the babies on formula so either way I am able to help out someone in need and I'm able to feed not only my daughter but their children.

@txyogagirl I was supposed to have twins and because of that my body makes Milk enough for twins. With the loss of my son, I don't think that my body ever regulated for that so I have to pump after my daughter is done eating because my boobs still feel so heavy and full and will hurt if I don't. There are a lot of times where I can pump before my daughter eats and then she will eat and get full and then I can pump afterwards and I still have almost 2 to 3 oz coming out of each breast. If my daughter does not eat on a set schedule then I can pump out five to six oz out of each breast and when she does eat then I will normally pump out 2 to 3 oz out of each breast. So I would not say that I have officially regulated to having just one baby.

I just seen I misspelled a ton of words 🙈🙈obviously my mind wasn't thinking My body had the shakes so bad glad to be all better now

@arivera64, yea I just don't wanna get over supply I actually ended up getting a mastitis from this one issue so I have been in bed a day or so but feeling much better now. Next time forget it who cares if I have over supply not worth the risk or pain

@kaytibug2009, he will sleep in the crib but I can't handle it is what I mean. Mama can't go this long without nursing how did u regulate your supple to adjust to the new amount needed

Your milk continues to replenish. If you express he will still get the amount he needs. If anything he will have more because the more milk you express, the more milk your body thinks you need to make

I use to think the same thing, but it's not true. I pump so I don't hurt and even sometimes before my LO eats. She still gets plenty of milk. I can even pump after she is done eating and there is still a little bit of milk that comes out. As for the transition, you need to take a shirt or blanket that smells like you and your milk and lay that with the child. That's what helped my baby and she sleeps great in her crib as long as she has that blanket.

Go ahead and express. He will still have more than enough. I promise. Express until you're comfortable again.
