Any suggestions on pumping for a preme? Everyone says I'm doing fine but I'm on day 7 and still stuck at 10ml almost every time. Im pumping every 2 hrs, 3 to 4 in the night. My peak is usually like 6am. Im massaging, smelling my baby, listening to cries, drinking water....idk what else to do. I wana give up and sleep instead but I'm not going to, I'm determined to suceed. If I'm on the right track and this is normal I'll take the reassurance but I feel like I'm lagging behind and failing. My stress levels dont help any but I can't change that too much. I'm trying so hard to be strong for my baby😓

My first was a preemie and second low birth weight for 39 weeks. Anyways, you are on the right track. Talk to the lactation consultant. I almost gave up because my milk didn't come in at the hospital. The consultant we had; was our birthing instructor for our first. When she saw us she remembered who we were and a sign of comfort for me. I kept trying. Came in on day day 6. Little babies sometimes means little milk in the beginning. Don't be discouraged. I'm still under an ounce per a feeding but I supplement with formula. Just keep being consistent. In the NICU you have the option of donors breast milk to supplement with as well.

Have you talked to a lactation consultant? It sounds like you’re on the right track. Don’t give up! Your supply should slowly increase.

The goal for a preemie is getting at least 3 to 4 ounces per session during the 8 to 10 pumping sessions a day.

Try looking at a picture of your baby while you’re pumping. That always helped me. Also try a warm compress just before you pump.

Starting TWW. Anyone else?

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

leahbeth I'm so sorry :( hopefully your cycle continues and you get another shot next month.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

babybump_user I'm so sorry!
babybump_user My heart hurts for you. I would sue the s*** out of those doctors.
babybump_user So sad and heartbreaking. Brought tears to my eyes. No mother should lose her child so young
