Ok so I plan on breast pumping and using mostly that but still having formula. At the hospital I can have them do formula right? I want to share feeding time with the dad right away too. And start pumping when we come home
I agree with everyone else. By pumping while feeding you can have milk ready do the dad can feed the baby w/o having to do formula (unless you just want to). Make sure to buy bottles for breadtfed babies like Avent.
If you're planning on mostly pumping, you should pump in the hospital as well every time your baby has a bottle (or every 2 to 3 hours). You can mess up your supply by waiting too long.
My baby didn’t latch right away so they brought me a pump so I can atleast pump & feed it to her! They gave her formula but she didn’t like it so we ended up doing donors milk until my milk came in.. & now i exclusively pump & put her at breast everyone once in a while she never had a problem with nipple confusion
You should at least have baby latch when at the hospital so baby can get all the colostrum
if i tell wic in pumping and formula will they give me a pump or formula? not sure if i should tell them both or if im just formula feeding
Biggest Baby on BB
I know I don't have the biggest baby here but I know he's right up there.
I guess sharing my personal info on here means having it used against me in a personal disagreement yes I was raped and no you have no right to use my daughter against me as a personal jab
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 💖💖
Breast Feeding With Piercings...
I have my nipples pierced. But I want to know if I can still breast feed with them in. I know I have to take them out while breast feeding. But if I can't, I'll try to do pumping for him. But if all fails, I'll be having to give him formula. I don't want to give him formula, but if I have to, I will.
@terieg good to know thank you!
