Torn between “never wake a sleeping baby” and my boobs hurt. Can’t wait for my pump to get here…

Hand express them puppies.

@glencoco, I can’t finger it out. I even had the lactation nurse show me when I was in the hospital and still nothing.

@devap08, what’s a dream feed?

@lilinnocence718, it takes practice. The only way I can explain that made it easy for me is lean over a bottle and milk yourself like a cow. Not even joking. Grab your boob from the middle/top and pull down to your nipple. It might take a few strokes to get the milk flowing.

@devap08, I’ll try that and see if it works out. Wouldn’t they have a lazy latch? Since they aren’t awake?

@glencoco, lol! That’s the motion I was doing, maybe I’ll get more success doing it this way. Thank you!

@devap08, nice! I surprisingly get a good 4 hours at night already, my first rarely let that happen especially this early! I will definitely be trying this out tomorrow
