3106038 tn?1346813169 All the ladies above answered perfectly. I have giant boobies (F) and I didn't produce a lot of milk with my second. This time though, I'm a milk machine!! I'm happy!!
Avatar f tn When I had my first, he was in the hospital for 2 weeks and I had no choice but to pump, I regularly pumped with a hospital grade pump every 2 hours, I only nursed my son till he was about 3 months but I had stored enough milk in my freezer to give him nothing but breast milk til he was about 6-7 months old, as long as you can keep yourself on a strict schedule your baby gets what they deserve, you get to lose the weight faster and every one is happy :-) either way, whether you choose to pump or
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!
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 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.
14975014 tn?1437675913 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.
Avatar f tn When do breast milk starts coming out the breast I had my baby on the 29th no milk still
8526246 tn?1405601876 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.
Avatar n tn t take enough on her own and as a result is very unsettled, restless and is up every hour wanting more but i still want to give her breast milk and not formula so I have started pumping with a single handheld so I know exactly how much she is getting . I have been advised to buy a double electric breast pump as it will be faster and easier to get the milk out instead of sitting for almost a hour just to get one feed.
4194487 tn?1370046144 I reccommend a double too bc while pumping one, the other tends to leak and you lose milk that way...plus you end up covered in milk...gross.
Avatar n tn 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?
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.
3588173 tn?1357317184 Alright looks like I will be setting a couple alarms during the night to pump.
7058746 tn?1393435420 I had my baby last week 31weeks 5 days and started pumping and I get alot of milk and I just freeze take it to.
1149221 tn?1304827966 Is anyone else pumping and really getting tired of it? After the hospital made him have a bottle he would never take the breast so I have to pump. I am really getting tired of it. I just feel guilty if he has to have formula all the time (he gets it 2-3 times a day) plus pumping is free. I just find it so hard to take 30 minutes every 3 hours to pump. By the time I'm done both my boys are upset and I have to calm them both down. I just don't know what to do.
1578540 tn?1297809428 If you want to boost it, you have to be pumping frequently or putting the baby to the breast often.
Avatar f tn im pumping out my milk but its colostrum. i wanted to know when wikl my milk come in.
Avatar f tn I have been pumping and storing breast milk for my princess and it seams like the amount is slowing down what can I do to get it back up I do not want to give her formula at all!
Avatar n tn when did you guys start breast pumping?
Avatar f tn I am expecting my second baby. With my first, I tried to breastfeed but it didn't work out. I had been gifted a manual Avent pump and I was so disappointed. With my first, I was able to take the 3 months off but that will not be the case this time around. I want to breastfeed but how often do I need to pump to keep producing milk? It's going to be kind of hard to do it around work and I work 10 hours a day.
Avatar f tn They let me put him to Breast a couple times but that was until he was a couple weeks old so I had been pumping my milk for him til then. He never latched after the one time so I exclusively pumped for a year.
Avatar f tn Baby needs the colostrum first which you obviously pumped out if you are getting that much milk.
