Avatar n tn Wen my baby gets here i will be using the pump does that hurt wen the milk come out of the Brest
Avatar f tn I mean not just pain the are lumped and have milk coming out. This is my second pregnancy. With my first child my boobs got up to a DDD. And my milk production was so high. Idk if that has anything to do with it. Or what. But has anyone experienced anything like this???
Avatar f tn Do i have to take something so my milk drys up?...or...do i just stop pumping and the milk just goes away n stops comming in???
Avatar f tn Just had son a few days ago, now my milk is coming in and my breast are hurting so bad right now. They are hard in some places. Is there anything I do to release the pressure.
Avatar f tn So, with my first pregnancy, nothing hurt more than my boobs after birth. NOTHING. Cramps didn't hurt, labor didn't hurt, sciatica didn't hurt, nothing hurt compared to the way my boobs felt. I felt as if I had a 500 pound bag of concrete in each boob. :( even my armpits were in pain. I'm alllllllll for formula feeding. That's what I did with my daughter, and she's just as smart and independent as a breast fed baby.

Avatar f tn It was terrifying. You can pump a few times a day and donate your milk to the hospital or a breast milk bank.
9138366 tn?1410253633 Same here ,I just do both breast feeding and formula.
Avatar f tn It depends on your milk. Everyone is different. Mine took about 15 minutes on each side and I got more the more I pumped.
Avatar f tn Are you suppose to be pumping while pregnant?
Avatar f tn So im kinda stuck in my ways. I would love for my baby to have my breast milk....but I dont like the idea of my nipples being chomped on. My other daughter was extremely lactose and tolerant so she wouldn't breast feed once the milk came in. But I remember that it did hurt when she did try. Is it wrong that I want to pump the milk and bottle feed? Any other moms out there that has done this?
Avatar f tn Recent information I've read (from WIC) encourages you to wait until 6 weeks after baby is born to start breast pumping. They say otherwise it interfers with milk production and bonding with baby since they'll prefer the bottle over your own breasts.
Avatar n tn I agree with the others that the first milk is the best for baby and I know pumping can cause preterm labor so I feel like sucking on them would do the same
Avatar f tn Pumping doesn't stimulate milk production like natural breastfeeding does. Try hand stimylating with pumping every hour, using warm rags around your breast to make the let down reflex easier, and eating certain foods and even some teas can help the body produce milk.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how many oz of breast milk a newborn should get in each feeding ?
Avatar f tn With my first child I did breast feeding for a year, but when I tried transitioning her from breast to bottle, it was A PAIN! She refused to take the bottle, so now I want to try to do both.. I bought a breast pump, so I'm wondering how does the whole freezing your milk process work? How long is it good for? How do you unfreeze it? Or boil it? Thank you for your time!
1123420 tn?1350561158 t know the first thing about it. So is that any different, does it break the bond? Does it hurt any less? I have absolutely no idea, so if you could help me with these questions, or let me know other things that I need to know, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!!
Avatar f tn Hi everyone!! Does anyone know what I can use to get more breast milk? I feel like im running out of milk since I been pumping, it hurts so bad when I breastfeed her n I got sore nipples from her sucking it..
Avatar f tn take a little of the leftover milk and spread it around the nipple and let it air dry... breast milk has a lot of healing factors... Hope you feel better!!
Avatar f tn Can wearing a sports bra to bed hurt my milk supply?!!!! They are so comfy to wear to bed!!!
15278049 tn?1441989239 I just found it easier to breast feed straight from the breast pumping took too long and it hurt a little.
Avatar f tn when you started using the breast pump how long did it take for your milk to flow easily am have a steady flow.
Avatar f tn I wanna just breast feed because supplementing wth formula causes ur breast milk supply to run low and the baby might even start rejecting the bbreast. It also could really start upseting their tummy. If u want whats best, pump pump pump.
7566904 tn?1394763978 Well not taking out the milk is going to hurt more your breasts get swollen really bad the only way they'll hurt a little less is if you take out the milk plus its way better for your bay but thats up to you
Avatar f tn Does anyone have any suggestions on a breast pump? I know I want a double electric one just don't know which brand is best!
7845638 tn?1395841467 That sounds great mommikat breastfeeding at night would work for me I read on this blog that milk does come in at the wee hours pumping seems like it's going to be a lot of work but I'm determined to make sure I don't have to resort to formula
Avatar f tn You can give formula while pumping to breast feed but like others said it will be hard to keep up milk supply. Make sure to get the right pump, my first wouldnt latch so I had to pump but I lost my milk by 8 weeks and had to supplement with formula the whole time. Turns out I didnt have the right type of pump and didnt do it enough. I thought I would have problems having a baby breastfeed but my son did and I actually found pumping more awkward.
