so i’m pumping and milk is coming out y’all! i’m using my good boob tho. let’s see if the other one still works lol

Congratulations!

@halifax6, thanks! barely any came out but i’m surprised it still even works lol we’ll see about the other boob

@kartersmommyy keep trying every 2 to 3 hours! Try to hand express after each pump! And let him try to feed :]

@kartersmommyy you got this!

@halifax6, ok! i will try it and see!

@kartersmommyy I'm still pumping, 8 x a day, and one oower pump secession. And drinking a crap ton of water. He still hates breastfeeding. I got him to, yesterday, for 5 minutes! Which was huge! Lol I'm not an expert, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :]

@halifax6, that’s awesome!! how much do you usually pump every session?

@kartersmommyy like none :/ it varies, and my supply is declining daily. Yesterdays total was 59 ml :/ despite all my efforts.

@kartersmommyy I went to the lactation consultation and, ever since then, doing what she suggested, my supply declined. I'm borderline about to give up lol

@halifax6, don’t give up! you can do it!

@kartersmommyy ☺️ I was so close today to quiting. Lol but I didn't. I may have messed up because I slept through the night, and missed a secession, but I'll just be better today and tomorrow :/

@halifax6, have you been doing things that supposedly increase production? Like the lactation cookies or the tea or eating oatmeal?

@kartersmommyy yep. Lol and herbal pills. I tried the tea and blech i can't get it down Lol

@halifax6, i’m drinking the tea now & i love it 😂 but hmmm.. idk, i’m no lactation expert lol but i think you’re doing great, & even the littlest bit helps!

@kartersmommyy I think the lack of sleep plays a part. Need to get him to sleep in something safe. Lol he hates his bassinet and the sleeper in the pack and play. Sigh. It's typically get 1-2 he's at night and up to 4 during the day. Can't get more than 4 at a time due to pumping lol wish he'd just breastfeed. I really want to stop, but the guilt won't let me lol

@kartersmommyy I wish I liked the tea. It's so strong. Lol maybe I'll try again.

@halifax6, Karter hates his bassinet & pack n play as well. & he doesn’t nap long in his bouncy seat or his swing. Only way i get him to sleep for 3 hours (the longest he will go) is if i cuddle him at night 😩 i know it’s not the safest but it works for right now letting my get some sleep

@kartersmommyy I just got a rock and play delivered today, so I'm hoping it works! Lol I just got 19 ml from a power pump! Lol so far I'm already at 58mk, which means I'm almost passing yesterday! Lol I'm going to increase! Hopefully the 7 hrs I went last night without won't mess me up too bad. :/

@halifax6, oh Karter has one of those at my dads house & loves it! but i’m sure you’ll be good! You’re doing good so far!
