Alright, I need some advice on pumping. I’m a FTM with a babe who’s had a hard time gaining weight so we breastfeed and supplement with formula at every feed. The goal is to exclusively breastfeed if I can. My LC wants me to pump to help with my supply and use bottle-fed breastmilk before formula, but finding the time and energy to pump is so hard! I’m lucky if I can get on the pump once every two days. I have no idea how often I should be pumping not for how long. Normally I pump right after feeding and I’m lucky if I get 1.5 oz total 😔 I eat oatmeal every morning and take fenugreek. Any advice?

Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?
Because I have to be on mental health medication after birth I am unable to breastfeed😔 what are some good formulas for babies? I know breast is best but I can’t be on the medication I need and breast feed.
ugh having a hard day. i really want to breast feed my son when he is born. but my mom keeps saying crap about it like how hard it will be and how she couldn't do it nither could my aunt. and how much its going to hurt and how i should do formula so every one can feed him i mean i want to pump so my husband can also feed him and my husband is 100% behind me on it. its just really pissing me off about how everyone is downing me for it.
I Am Still Deciding If I Want To Try And Breastfeed or Bottle Feed I Might Try Both...But Does Medcaid Pay For A Breast Feeding Pump???
Как помочь сыну заснуть без укачивания?
Did anyone formula feed one baby and breast feed the other ? What was the difference in their behaviors and how did you deal with them? I weaned my son in February and he’ll be 2 this month. And he refuses to even try to fall asleep without being rocked or pat. It’s exhausting 😅 every single thing is so different with him but I’m assuming the sleep thing could be from the comfort of nursing ? How can I help it be easier for us both? Tired of the tears 😭
I exclusively pumped for a year. My daughter never did get the hang of actually breastfeeding. So I'm sure you won't need to pump as much as I did but just for reference this was my pumping schedule. For the first 4 months
Midnight, 3 am, 6am, 9am, noon, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm. Each session was at least 30 minutes long.
After 4 months my pumping schedule was midnight, 4am, 8am, noon, 4pm, and 8pm. And once again I pumped for at least 30 minutes each session.
