Why are you pumping? That’s colostrum that your baby needs and nursing will bring your milk in way faster than pumping. That’s the perfect amount for a 3 day old. Their bellies are tiny. Don’t doubt yourself, just latch baby every 1-2 hours and let him stay on as long as he wants. Put the pump away!!!!

I only started to pump because I though my boobs were starting to get engorged so I was trying to get some out to help him latch better but when i pumped I only got that out and my boobs still feel full

@familyislife121417, you can hand express before nursing so he can latch. Pumping will just cause more stimulation and make them fill up even faster. You need to regulate to your baby’s needs by nursing.

Your baby is able to drain your breast better then a pump. Be careful about pumping too soon. You’ll actually make more milk then you need and possibly get mastitis.

You shouldn’t be pumping yet unless you cannot be with your baby... it does not work the same. Baby sucking on your breast will get what he needs and will trigger your body to produce enough milk for baby. Pumping cannot get the milk out the same as well as will cause you to over produce and you will be engorged and in pain as well as making it very difficult for baby to feed.

@familyislife121417, that’s a good sign it means your milk is coming the full feeling happens before the milk is really in.

They told me wait three days after I had my first like fed him but to get a pump they told me to wait till it was in all the way idk hope that’s helps

When you pump, it does not get all of the milk out of your breasts. Nursing the baby will empty them.

I had my baby the same day and cant get anything but a few drops.
If you're not getting anything I'd assume it's just not in yet
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
Things I never thought I'd say... Until I became a mom:
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
I hope this helps and y'all moms with my account
#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.

Also your boobs are swollen and that’s why they are so big and full. Pumping won’t relieve them. You have to latch baby. It’ll get better after the first 3 weeks. Just hand express to soften the nipple before he latches
