So my baby is exclusively breast fed, any tips on how to get a good stash before I return to work? When I pump I only get about 2 ounces of milk, that’s it! I also read moms who exclusively breast feed normally pump little to almost nothing of milk . Tips please
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
Breast pump covered by insurance I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared lol
took me 10 minutes to pump this from both breast after feeding Ethan for 25 minutes. My milk supply is going crazy yesterday I pumped 8 bottles my milk stash is going to be great
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 💖💖

Early morning is the best time to pump. It stores back up. You can feed on one side and pump the other then alternate. Breast milk is supply and demand so don’t give up. The more you pump/feed the more you’ll get.

Just keep pumping. I ebf'd until I went back to work. I get about 8 oz first thing in the morning, then 5 to 8 oz subsequent sessions depending on how long I've gone between a pumping or feeding. I have a deep freezer of 1,000 ounces, maybe more. I've stopped counting it. Lol.

Fed is best! Don't stress too much. Breastfeeding didn't work out for my first. It was such a struggle. I was prepared for that again, but was pleasantly surprised.

My baby is exclusively bf and I pump 3 times a day. I get at least 4 oz from each breast in the morning and maybe 2.5 from each the other two times.

Thanks , okay so I definitely need to just pump more , maybe that’s why I’m not pumping as much

Try pumping for longer even after no more milk is coming out, that basically tells your breast they need to produce more milk & eventually they will

Just pump on opposite of nursing side. Just do your best but you'll be pumping each day for next days once your stash is up.
