I won't need a stash until baby is 7mnths
My son is 4 weeks old and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. I'm on maternity leave for seven months so I won't need a stash until August. I'm a flight attendant so when I do go back to work I'll be away from my little one for a week at a time. When do I need to start pumping to build up a good stash? Will my milk supply increase even 7 months from now?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
Starting TWW. Anyone else? I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
I'm 21 weeks today..... so when people ask how many months I'm I do I say 5 or 6 lol?
OT. rant! forward facing early ok, so in my birth month forum (October 2012) someone posted a picture of their lo riding in the car in a forward facing seat! what???? it baffles me when parents do this. I'm not trying to offend anyone.. but why do ppl do this?? the oldest baby in our birth month is 9 months, she was 3 months premature. but even at 9 months I wouldn't have my child forward facing.

Start pumping after 6 weeks just once a day after morning feed. That way you don't have a ton of milk. But you might want to see about a chest freezer for the best way to freeze. Also make sure baby gets one bottle a day so that he will take one.

You don't want the milk to be in the freezer for more than 3 months in a regular freezer or 6 months in a deep freezer so you should probably wait a little. Maybe start pumping when baby is 3 months old and only pump once a day to prevent an oversupply.

I fly for a living too and already started putting milk away. Have you introduced a bottle to baby yet?

I have introduced a bottle. He took to it just fine!

Milk actually lasts 6 months in the regular freezer and a year in the deep freeze
