crying over spilled milk

I'm literally crying over spilled milk. My breastmilk! I had a good 4-5 oz pumped and it spilled. It's hard to breastfeed let alone pumping on top of that. You have to have a schedule and stick to it. It's hard getting up at night to feed and then pump. Then do it over and over every 2-3 hours. I even feed on demand. I get up at 1am 3am 5 am then 8 am. I feed on demand all day until 11pm. I'm sorry for rambling. I'm only 6 days postpartum so maybe it's my hormones, but I'm upset. :(

I agree with the advice to cut down on pumping. Your body is still regulating your supply. The more you pump, the more your body is going to continue to think you need the extra milk. If you don't actually need it, you are just going to continue to be uncomfortable.

ETA: I am sorry about the spilled work! It takes so much work to produce! I accidentally forgot to put all the milk I pumped yesterday in the fridge. I thought pretty long and hard about what creative solution might exist to save it before dumping it down the sink with some tears.

You sure can cry over spilled milk lol but at 6 days pp my best advice is to put the pump down! Try hand expressing when you're engorged just enough for some relief. All pumping is doing is telling your awesome boobies to make more milk.

Should I do once at night and twice during the day? I didn't bf dd1.

I would cut down on the pumping. Or just pump an oz or two to relieve it some. I had an over supply with ds. It wasn't fun.

Awe! Im so sorry! Thats a lot of milk to spill. You don't have have to take my advice but two lactation consultants told me not to pump until after a month. Pumping before that would lead to an over supply and engorgement. I got engorged and had mastitis. ?

I pump two times that I feed at 1am and at 5am and three times during the day. I'm still engorged after I feed dd 2. I leak every where. I give the pumped to dd 1.

Aw.. I've been there!!! :( I'm sorry you lost some milk!!!

Do you pump after every time you feed? If you do, be careful that you don't cause yourself an oversupply!

ecahanes @nury_rodriguez_2010, see how much you get today pumping and if it's still 6-7 you don't need to
