Me too. It’s just too much bc i have other kids and i feel like they get NO attention. I have a good supply it’s just super demanding!!

That one should be fine. Make sure your using the correct flange size too. That has a huge role in being able to express enough. Actually, I don’t pee as much as you would think. Because it’s all coming out in breast milk. Try setting an alarm on your phone, for every twenty minutes to remind you to take a big ol gulp of water! I have an alarm set to remind me to pump every 3 hours, even throughout the night. It is exhausting, believe me. But to me it is 1000% worth it. Also don’t stress. Just keep telling your self you’ve got enough milk. While pumping out your baby near you so you can look at him. :) I’m here If you need anything!

@cowgirl2790, it’s freestyle , omg I know the bathroom is your best friend. Your my motivation ima just buy gallons and sit them next to my bed🙌🏽

What type is it? Pump in style? Freestyle?
I drink anywhere from 300-600 oz of water a day.

@cowgirl2790, you know what I think that’s what it is I don’t even drink a whole bottle of water a day 😩 and I just thought about that lastnight. I have the medela Pump

Yes. He has only actually nursed about 5 times and he’s almost a month old. What pump did you get? It could be your not drinking enough water. You literally have to drink a TON! Try fenugreek...? To start off I would pump every 2 hours.

@cowgirl2790, did you pump from the beginning? Pumping for me isn’t successful I’ve been using the hand held one they give u in the hospital and I’m literally getting drops! My bf bought me the medela pump yesterday but it has to charge for 24hours hopefully this works😫

You ladies are doing great! Keep it up! Pumping and feeding is so much harder and more time consuming than attached breastfeeding. Kudos to you for some job well done. I'm ever so happy I haven't had to pump for baby 2.0 like I did for baby #1. Proud of you all! Keep it up!!!

My son was having latch issues. So I’ve just been pumping. My supply is doing just fine. (People say pumping won’t keep your supply up) but seems to be working for me🤷🏻‍♀️ I pump every 3 hours. Then I feed baby. He’s eating about two oz each feeding and I’m pumping 6 each time. So I freeze the “left overs” lol

@kpcharlie94 omg trust me I understand I honestly think if it wasn't for seeing my sister doing it every day while her babies were in the NICU idk if I would be where I am right now, seeing her determination to feed her babies made me want to do the same and it's so good for them. Because my sister had twins in June and they came 3 months early but with her breastmilk and her pumping as much as she could for them while they were in there until now, now they are going on 5 and a half months and they're both about 13-14 lbs, so amazing to see what we can do as moms, you got this if anything take a little break from putting your baby on your boob because I must say she tore my nipples up I was crying when I was ready to leave the hospital and I had an emergency csection so I was there for 6 days so breastfeeding with having no pump in the hospital was so tough but once you start pumping it out it might make it a hit easier for you and their latching really hurts too because they don't do it correctly at first and their mouths are so tiny too.. sorry for writing so much

@chellymariie, wow that’s really goals I literally decided I was gonna breast feed at like 7 or 8 months I didn’t do enough reading so everything is such a blur from wearing a bra to the raw nipples what pumps goes with which bottles 🤦🏼‍♀️

Girl I was having the same feeling last night my baby girl is going on 2 months now and when I first got home I was doing both breastfeeding and pumping now I'm just pumping and I swear I feel the same like it's a full time job.... it gets tough at times but I'm doing so good every time I pump I get 8-10 ounces each time and I just ordered a deep freezer to store all the milk i have because it became too much for my regular freezer, i have about 75 bags of 7 ounces each in the freezer and 70 ounces in the fridge for her feedings.. it's fun at times but don't give up do it for your baby 😊😉

@kpcharlie94 my baby was like that

@cake1219, I don’t think he’s getting enough milk because he’s cluster feeding. He’s turning his head to my breast every 20 mins

@xryztalroze, thank you hun I’ll look into it

@ss3mom, thanks for the encouragement 💕

Please get the book "Breastfeeding Made Simple". It can help alot! Get a support system going. I promise it is worth the effort!!! Had to EP with my first and gave in to the stress at 7 month. Second baby is 6months and going strong. That book gave me the info I needed to redirect when I thought I couldn't do it any longer!!! Best wishes!!!

I was like that with my first I would be pumping for damn near two hours and get barely anything my supply was really low. But I out him on the breast and seem to be taking it.

It gets so much easier if u can stick it out the first few weeks. You’re right though it’s actually more then a full time job. It’s 24/7. But I promise it gets so easy after a while!! Hang in there

I ordered the Haakaa & it’s pretty awesome 👏 I use it on the go and also opposite side fr nursing baby. You may respond better??

Good luck I would have loved to been able to.

It can take I heard a week sometimes for your milk to come in I heard

I hear ya. I lasted 6 weeks. I keep getting an infection also but I didn’t want to do it anymore. Do what works for u. I felt so guilty but now my little guy is almost 5 months and very healthy with formula. Good luck with whatever u choose.

@kerrijlove1, no milk is coming out when I pump, ima the hand held one and see what happens. This is my first time breast feeding I didn’t even try with my daughter

It gets better! And it's free. ❤️

@expectinggreatness, nothing is coming out when I pump, I don’t think he’s getting enough because he feeds every hour😩 my nipples are so sore

Only three days? Don’t give up!!
If you have a pump, pump every two hours for 10 minutes each boob. Put it away until he wakes up. It helped with my flow & also to keep track of how much baby eats.

It’s definitely a lot . I am pumping and bottle feeding . I breast feed him 1–2 times a day . I pump 3-4 times a day and I get enough to feed him throughout the day and still have a little to freeze. Hang in there . It’s all worth it . 😅
