pumping breast milk calories burned

Same nutrients but if baby is taking the breast it is much different then pumping your milk. Babies empty your breast and pumping doesn't. So I'm not so sure its the same.

The hind milk (milk in the back basically) has mire calories so maybe pump before on one breast, give that breast to baby. Then offer other side and pump 2nd side after feeding to balance the calories. I always nurse between 10-20 min on one or both sides depending on what my son wants.

Idk if its just the breast pump I purchased that ***** or if im not producing enough milk.. I bought an evenflo electric pump from Wal-Mart it was only $60 so I didnt expect it to be amazing but at least get the job done. My baby usually drinks about 3 oz of milk when I pump and I can barely get that from one breast.

I'm planning on pumping milk for my baby boy.. My goal is to do 6 months but I don't want to actually breastfeed. Will I still burn calories? Its not a big differences is it?, if I pump or breastfeed?

That's what I've been reading. It is around 200-500 depending on how much your baby is consuming so if you're exclusively breastfeeding, especially if your baby is still under 6 months, you'll be on the higher bracket of calories burned (I've read on other sites that it may be more than 500). Your body will need extra calories for it to make milk. It is advised though that you should not consume less than 1500 calories a day as it may lower your milk supply.

s a supply and demand thing, so the more often you allow baby to suck at breast the more milk you will make.

I EPed for a year and didn't lose any extra weight. I was down to pre-pregnancy weight pretty quickly, but I ate pretty horribly. They say it's 20 calories per ounce of breast milk. Some women say they lose the weight after stopping breastfeeding. I seriously ate more breast feeding than when I was pregnant, so on the bright side I didn't gain any. And now I'm pregnant with number two, so no dieting for me.

Rolled oats. Flaxseed. Brewers yeast. Go online and look up lactation cookie and smoothie recipes.

You have to be careful pumping the first month, not only can it make baby lazier about latching but it can dry your milk up, literally, overnight. I was pumping a LOT and woke up one morning and all of my milk was completely gone. I loved BF'ing, its a great bonding experience!

It can help you burn I believe 500 calories a day. BUT when you're breast feeding you're supposed to continue the caloric intake that you do in pregnancy, an extra 500 a day. I gained 10 pounds after losing 30 right after my daughters birth, but I blame that on being hungry so much from breast feeding.

2nd, your body is constantly using energy, aka burning calories, to make milk for your baby, like 500 calories a day! However, you are supposed to consume at least 300 calories more than normal to help balance the caloric requirements.

bigger babies dont neccesarily need more, just put the baby to breast often and your milk supply will increase, its pretty rare to not make enough milk, you can also meet with a lc! good luck!

Pumping or any nipple stimulation can bring labor on.

Because our bodies burn calories while the milk is being made. (If I read that right). Then it is being expelled to our babies. Though it only burns I think somewhere between 300-500 calories. You could loose weight, as long as you're balancing your calorie intake with what is being burned off.

If you still need to boost your supply look into fenugreek, blessed thistle, and mothers milk tea. Overall, pumping or putting baby to breast every two hours is the only way to stimulate your breasts and encourage milk production.

I plan to breastfeed my baby, and since i'm already producing colostrum at 18 weeks im assuming I'll have no problem. I understand that the baby needs a vitamin D supplement since breast milk doesn't have it. Where do i get that and what is it? A vitamin or drops or something? i don't know what the vitamin D comes in.

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!

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.

I would not recommend pumping before your milk supply comes after the baby is born it could cause you to go into preterm labor. I'm having my second and after my first I never stopped lactating even when I stopped breastfeeding. I still would leak collosum (don't know if that is spelled right) especially when he would cry.

When i went back to work i could not keep up with the pumping at work or even pumping at home to store milk, so i made the choice to breastfeed when i get off work until its time to go back to work and she gets formula while im at work. She will be 4 months friday and im thinking to switch her to strictly formula around 5 or 6 months.

They need that for a few days and when your real milk comes in, your baby is ready for it. You have to remember that your milk is made exactly for the baby, pumping before hand messes all that up and isn't good for either of you.

When do breast milk starts coming out the breast I had my baby on the 29th no milk still

How long after pumping is breast milk good for without refrigerating or do I have to refrigerate right away? I want to pump and feed without having to refrigerate and thaw but not sure if its not ok to do so.

My friend lost 25 lbs in 2 weeks....

I had my baby 5 days ago and im pumping and i only get a half an ounce each breast if that.. Will my breast supply increase??. I want to produce more milk what do i do?

When my son was about that same age, I tried to pump and had the same thing with hours of pumping and only got a tiny drop. I realized that the breast has to get used to the pumping action and after several tries, you will get more to come out. I would try that before buying a more expensive pump. Keep trying to feed her! Also, do not use the amount that you get from pumping as an indicator of how much milk you have. You will never get as much milk out with pumping as she will with sucking.

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
