Can I rave for a sec?
I feel like I'm always hooked up to this pump. Every 3-4 hours. Decided against getting my daughters lip tie fixed until she is older, so I have to ep. I busted my ass to build this stash to make sure that my daughter only receives breast milk. I can't even believe how many oz I have. Between what I have stashed her and what's at my moms... over 800 oz. 815 to be exact. With my son my supply just dropped to almost nothing over night when I started my period, never could build it back up either. I want to be prepared incase that happens like it did with him when I was 9 months pp. But now my fear is a power outage. ? Seriously, that would be awful though.
We try to relatch about once a week. By the end of the third feeding, I'm raw, she's hungry, nobody's happy. She just can't get that upper lip lifted enough to create a good suction. Maybe one day it will loosen enough for her to latch correctly.
Wow that is quite an accomplishment! Well done mama! We didn't fix ds tie either and he was able to latch properly once his head grew a bit bigger, maybe six months or so. It's too bad freezers don't have a backup battery like alarm clocks... I read somewhere to put a penny on a frozen glass of water and if you ever find the penny inside the ice you know your freezer malfunctioned at some point.
Wow you're amazing! Pumping definitely gets old. I never do anymore, lo Is almost 15 mo so we are down to 1-2 feedings a day. Lol. But #2 is coming in 5 months...
