#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.

🙋🏼♀️ I’ll admit, it’s not the easiest thing to do. My firstborn wouldn’t latch and I didn’t pump as much as I wanted to. It’s definitely a commitment and if it’s something you really wanna do, make sure you see a lactation consultant and ask your nurses in the hospital for all the help you can get. It really makes a huge difference. It seems like something that should be so easy to do, but it’s a learning process for mom and baby. Some babies latch better than others, but getting help with it makes all the difference in the world!! And even if breastfeeding doesn’t work out, just remember that FED is is best. A full belly makes for a happy baby, whether it be formula or breast milk

I did for two years with my son. I will definitely breastfeed this new little one. I tried the pumping thing but being a stay at home mom, it was just extra work for no reason. This time I'm not even bothering with the pump, only used it 2 months with my first and then forgot about it. But it's definitely amazing, hard, but amazing. And the benefits for you and baby are wonderful.

I'm breastfeeding my almost 4 month old right now. I breastfed my 1st till she was 18 months. Hopefully I can do the same with this one.

🙋 I BF over 2 years and pumped about 15 months 💖 very hard work but I'd do it again. Well in Feb I start all over! There is a BFing group on here.... Best advice is to find a support group! My hospital has one that meets a couple times a month, FREE, also look into la leche league for info and they offer a meeting as well. @ladybug5

I’m breastfeeding. I think the best way to learn is just by doing it. Take advantage of the lactation consultants in the hospital to help you.

Thank you

I tried breatfeeding my son and we were in the hospital for 7 days because he was having problems latching. So I pumped for 4 months and bottle fed him until my supply dried up! Sometimes it doesn't go as planned but I reccomend breastfeeding/pumping!

I wanted to pump instead of latching I would try the latching but if I’m not comfortable I’ll do pumping

I breastfed my son for 14 months. It was one of the most rewarding things I’ve done.

I breastfeed my son!! It’s the most special bond you can have that’s for sure. Very hard! Make small goals and then once you achieve them keep setting more goals!!! Start small with maybe I want to try to breastfeed for X amount of time. Then so on and so forth! It will hurt at first, maybe the first 1-2 weeks. Get nipple cream & gel packs! It’s worth it in the end!!! Good luck!

Thank you

I am going to try. I mysteriously can't make any more milk after a couple of months. I'll have to investigatethe reason
Deleted··
@ladybug5 every time I do they just two me to drink more water. I was drinking more than I needed to. I even talked to lactation consultants too. I'm hoping my midwife can clue me in a little more
Ladybug··
@youmeplus3, I hope she tells u something

@mamaof2babes it is helpful. I tried just about everything though. I have a sneaky suspicion that my pcos is throwing off my production hormones and I have to seek out hormone balancing options. I'm hoping my midwife can clue me in more than the doctors and consultants have.
