Its actually recommended that as your breasts grow and while breast feeding to sleep in a bra to decrease the chance of getting stretch marks on your breasts and for comfort. They sell nursing bras specifically for sleeping in.

hey, have you tried skin to skin breast feeding instead of pumping for a little bit. by pumping you are encouraging more milk and at a rate that the baby doesn't control itself. i think i would defer this question to the breast feeding forum here. they are full of information and great tips. perhaps one of the ladies there will be more helpful.

My milk never came in and Alec is 8 days old. I finally gave up because he was getting frustrated and it broke my heart. Has anyone else had problems? It is kind of a letdown for me.

Usually pumping after nursing will help empty the breast. If you find that you are not pumping anything after nursing you can try pumping before nursing. Babies are much more efficient at emptying the breast than a pump so this may work better for some moms. 10. If your supply is low or baby is not gaining weight see a lactation consultant for help. 11. Make sure baby is latching on well. Try more than one technique to get your baby latched on. 12. Get support from breastfeeding moms. 13.

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!

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 started having breast pain on the left side while nursing my second child.My breast seemed to not be expressing the milk well--just one or two streams. I did all the treatments for clogged milk ducts/mastitis, but nothing really helped. The pain would come and go, but my breast never expressed like it had with my first baby. My left breast became noticably larger than my right. I thought the pain and swelling would go away after I stopped nursing/pumping.

I plan on also pumping and nursing and assume I will have enough milk based on what I had last time. I will go back to work when they are 3-4 months old. I am thinking of buying a Medela "pump in style advanced" or Medela "freestyle". What did you ladies do? Did you have enough milk for your twins? When did you return to work? Did you pump milk? If so, what Pump did you get?

Drink a lot of milk products to get the milk flowing. Your breast milk comes depending on amt your baby drinks. It might be too early to pump and freeze. I say wait a mth. If not use the oz u pump to feed your newborn n skip a feeding n pump so u can have more milk supply to freeze.

Is it possible to feed baby solely on breast milk through expressing and not nursing? I'm just thinking if I don't manage to establish a proper nursing routine, is it possible to bottle feed with my milk? Or is this unrealistic? Any personal experiences or advice? Thanks!

If she has a small child yes. But if not she should not be pumpping at 25 weeks.

The key to maintaining or increasing your milk supply is to NOT go longer than five to six hours without nursing or pumping. Milk left in your breasts tells them to make LESS milk. It can be a challenge to keep your supply up, especially in the military, where you might work an odd schedule and certainly can’t just take a day off to stay home and breastfeed in order to boost your supply.

Hello ladies...my daughter is 3 days old and i am breastfeeding...so far its not going to well :/...she's not eating a lot yet and my breast are producing so much milk that I even have to pump.....she is having a hard time latching and I gave in once and gave her a bottle....my breast are so hard and so sore I'm in tears!

Try maybe for every three hrs to feed. Are you only pumping? Breast milk is a lot lighter on a babies stomach therefore they need to eat more its not heavy like formula.

bobby pillow, Pump, extra cups, (the cups you put over your breasts while pumping) medela steam bags for sterilizing pumping supplies. Storage containers for breast milk, nursing pads, (I liked the washable ones better than the disposable ones.) nursing bras.

If we are pumping breast milk how many ounces should she have per feeding? How long should we let her nurse on sore nipples and still get enough to eat? Our doctor told us to give two ounces of formula. she weighs 7.5 pounds. 8 days old.

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.

So I was planning on breast feeding but I have NO BREAST MILK has this happened to any one else .
