Pumping
How many ounces are you getting a pump session? And if a lot please share your tricks! I'm getting 5-6 oz each time.
I eat oatmeal, drink tons of water, pineapple juice, gatorade, bolt house farm green goodness and the blue one. I pump only when I'm working... like right now, I got 3.5 Oz from my right side. Probably will get close to 2.5 from the left. And I thought I wasn't pumping a lot... I'm glad I asked. Lol I feel much better!
Eta: drinking all of that is work! Lol. Plus I eat healthy ?
That's a lot. It's more than the average. More than probably what your baby is needing. Any more than that you'll have an oversupply which is no good. I pump anywhere from 2-5 ounces. Usually just over 3 ounces which is how much my lo takes each feeding. The bigger pumping sessions are from once in the early morning.
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
what works better to get more milk? A hand pump or a electric pump?
Breast pump covered by insurance
I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
Anyone get a breast pump through insurance?
Trying to get a breast pump through my insurance feels about impossible 😣
United health care is awful. I have a prescription for a pump, but they're seriously making me jump through hoops. My insurance will cover a non medical gender test no questions asked, but try and order a pump to feed my kid, and they act like I'm asking for $10,000!!
I'm determined to get this pump for free. If not, guess we will have no choice but to buy one 😡
I can get 6-7 each side drink tons and tons of water
