Only pumped like 3 oz after 12 hrs of no pumping and no brestfeeding .. hosently think im done with it 😞
Just stick witu the bottle and just breastfeed and pump what you can. Any breast milk is still good. Good on you for keeping at it, don't get down on yourself about it at least your still trying. And if you end up stopping breast feeding there's nothing wrong with that either. I'm mixed feeding as me and baby are not having the greatest experience with the breast, but I'm just going to give him what I can. What works for one isn't going to work for another. Your doing a great job!
Your body will only produce as much milk as your taking as in if you pump or feed every 12 hours that’s all your body will think you need . You have to do it more to get more there’s no other way.
It seems like bottle might be a better option for you and there’s nothing wrong with that .
@koshadillz i do try when im.home and get chance but i also have anither son ehi dose things after school which maks it hard too
@lykinsamanda oh okay. Sorry i didnt realize my question seemed so rude until i just reread it. I was just wondwring what was stopping you from feeding or,pumping at night. I would just say IF you want to keep trying just pump whenever you can even if its not as often as should be. BF didnt work out for me, i was miserable and so was my son. So we stopped and everything got much better. Its all what works for you, not what others say is best. You tried! Thats all you can do
@lykinsamanda your employer legally has to give you time and an approprite place to pump. And why do you not have time at night?
@koshadillz i dont have time i fed him the middle of the night and get gup take him to the sitter and go to work i cant pump every 2 hours
I agree with what @koshadillz, said. Also drink lots of water. Some swear by Gatorade also. You can try making location cookies and stuff like that.
You're npt supposed to wait that long to pump. You shpuld be pumpin more frequently to increase supply. Its a supply and demand thing. The more the pump or baby sucks for mill, it send a signal to your body to produce more. You should be pumping every 2-4 hours or after you feed baby. You can also power pump and take suppliments to help
1. Stay well hydrated
2. Pump right after nursing, remember the baby is more efficient than the pump.
3. Pump the same time every day when you don't nurse, it signals to your body to produce milk.
Hopefully that helps, good luck.
