Has anyone had luck with pumping early 34 weeks. I’ve been pumping since sept 16 after giving birth. It’s been 2 days still nothing. Baby in NICU. Should I be patient? I know it’ll come eventually I’m just beating
Myself up about it.
@haslberry, thanks so much. Right now he’s getting the little bit of production I make through his feeding tube. They said we should be trying breast soon this week.
It's different for everyone u just have to stay on a schedule with it and don't go over 3 hours without pumping
@chink93 I know its so easy to feel that way but you are doing SO good!!! Just keep it up! You're definitely not a failure! My bff just went through this and she had her baby full term. It took about 5 days of her pumping for it to come in!
Even for a full term child it can take 3-5 days for a mother's milk to come in, and that's with baby on the breast, which is more effective than a pump. Just keep at it, and hopefully it'll come in. Meanwhile, the little bit of colostrum you are getting is super high in calories and nutrients, along with antibodies to help babe's immune system.
You're doing great!
@goatmomma, thanks momma. I was able to get one drop yesterday which the put across his gums but I missed 3 pump sessions due to being sleep smh
@kaitlinbaker23, thanks love and yes I completely understand that and knew before giving birth but it’s just after watching baby and everything I feel like a failure
Since you had your baby so early it will take more time for your milk to come in! Don't give up momma!
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 💖💖
My son loves the bottle more than my breast 😫 he gets so fussy when I give him my breast but has no issue with with bottle. As long as his eating I’m okay with it. I’ve been pumping and I hate pumping!!
I'm in labor
Guys, I've been in labor I guess since 9pm Sunday. .that I know.
So I've been drinking a ton of water since I was brought up to my room and I've been pumping every 2 hours but I'm not pumping anything. Feeling really discouraged. The nursery isn't giving babygirl any formula as they have her hooked up to an IV but Im already feeling like a failure :(
