Pumping problems
So my son is 4&1/2 mths old and is ebf. I used to pump every night before I went to bed but haven't in a while. I'm trying to start up again but I'm not getting any milk when I pump. I know when I'm nursing my son is eating enough so I know I'm producing enough milk for him. Just wondering why when I pump I'm not getting anything?!? Anyone have the same problem or can give any suggestions?!?!

Try pumping in the morning. You'll probably get more that way.

Ugh me too! I get maybe 30 mls total. I'm so frustrated with the damn pump. I was told today by the LC that at 1 month old I should be able to pump 3-4 ounces. The lady made me cry! If you figure out the magic LMK!

I was getting that much when my baby was younger but not its like the pump doesn't work for me it's very frustrating

I have the same problem! It's so frustrating because I have to pump several times just to make one bottle for him. I work 4 days in a row starting Wednesday and don't even have one full bottle yet

Feed baby from one breast when you get up in the morning and pump the other. That's the only way I can get 3-4 ounces. Only in the morning too. Otherwise I get 1 ounce if I'm lucky.
