@camsmomma this is awesome !!!! I should save my breast milk

@verguinia, please don’t fear reaching out to me if you need help.

@leenie really that sounds interesting what does it look like

I have this thing. It's called milkies (or something like that. I actually got it brand new from a local thrift shop) you insert it in your bra and it catches the letdown. No need to pump

@_sheriee your right

The more you pump the more you’re telling your body to produce. If you collect your letdown you can freeze it.

@virginiasunrise I need to get some of those tooo

@verguinia, you can just wash and reuse

@verguinia, they are a lintless kitchen towel.

Here is a link for an idea:

@_sheriee i do pump and thow it out because I get so full that It hurts and deals like I'm an overflowing balloon about to pop

Completely normal. Make sure not to pump for the first 4-6 weeks till you regulate. It will get better

@camsmomma thank you it is hard and socks sounds like a good idea too , she is probably cluster feeding but shr also jas been throwing up after words i tjink she is eating because she is bord too what else can i use the milk for ?

@virginiasunrise thank you so much i needed a solution felt overwhemled whats a flour sack?

@verguinia, you can use a diaper as breast pads if need be! You can also use flour sack towels layer them up, cut them in to circles and sew it together.

And I had a similar issue, pump the other side while she is nursing! It will provide relief and a freezer supply of milk.

If you don’t have a breast pump and you qualify for WIC they will usually give you one on loan

@verguinia, your milk is trying to regulate. If you don’t have any breast pads, try clean socks until you get some. I know it’s difficult but it’ll get easier. She’s probably cluster feeding which basically means she’s eating a lot which will happen. When it comes to your breast leaking, try catching it in a clean/sterile cup and freezing it. You could use it for other things.

@_sheriee my milk is over flowing :( it's going everywhere I wake up in milk puddles :( she is hungry all the time and i forget to put my bra back on and cant afford the breast pads, and my milk is sprinkling out of my breast like a foutine !!!!!and when I breastfeed her my other breast is leaking !!!

What’s going on?
