When your milk comes in fast and baby is only 5 days old and doesn't eat much still. 🤪Oooouch. My poor nipples and boobs.
Keep at it later!! Mother's milk tea, I swear every 5 minutes I feel the let down and I have so much milk. You guys just keep pumping to build your supply. It tells your body to produce more milk. It's definitely worth the pain the beginning. My problem is I have to pump just to relieve the issue. I wake up with such hard boobs and she eats and there's no relief. Ugh I have to get a deep freezer or else I'm going to have to look into donating my milk cuz I have like no room for it all
@jmedina, I hope so too. I’ve been pumping, breastfeeding nonstop, and taking fenugreek to help with my supply. *fingers crossed*
@mfreer87 I know sometimes it is necessary and thats ok. A lot of people do it when it is not though. Hopefully your supply will pick up!
@jmedina, I really hate to supplement but she wasn’t getting enough milk from me so the doctor and LC recommended I give her formula. She didn’t gain her weight back at her 2 week check up and instead lost weight. So, I’m breastfeeding and supplementing. 😞
@mfreer87 supplementing may just make your supply worse. 1oz at her age is all she needs. Plus they get more breastfeeding then a pump with get.
That’s awesome! I have an almost three week old baby and I can barely get an ounce and have to supplement my little one.
That looks great 😍 just freeze it and keep doing what you’re doing ! 👌🏻☺️
Any ladies donate their milk?
