@yarrariverchristian i had an emergency c section at 37 weeks because she had fetal growth restriction and was born 4 lbs. i have been advised to pump and increase supply but everytime i pump i feel like its pointless because i only get like 1-2 oz but she’s feeding every 2-3 hours like...

@nataliya i’m really happy to see more realistic approach to breast pumping, i was really fooled by these social media moms pumping freezers full of milk

@cmbbmcss that’s exactly what i’m pumping. on a good day i’ll get a little over 2 oz on both

@bronsontaur yeah it definitely has been super stressful on me even tho i’m only 2 weeks pp

@bronsontaur that too! i didn’t know when id have to feed her again right after i pumped and was worried i didn’t have enough to feed her for her next feeding. i read somewhere that your body never stops making milk and that you can feed and pump right after or vice versa without worrying if...

@churchclap i do not have a partner to blame since it’s just me but i have noticed a difference when using a bottle than when using my boob. when did you start cosleeping?

@churchclap that’s how i feel! like i was taking away milk from the baby

@churchclap thank you so much for the reassurance. did ur supply change after u stopped pumping ?

@crystalsherie she told me to start pumping the night after i left the OR from the C-section literally

@bobandyortan i work from home. but this is copied from a comment i left under someone else’s: so i was advised to pump because my first 2 days pp i wasn’t producing milk at all so the lactation specialist said to pump 2-3 hours to stimulate lactation, she also said to keep doing this (and...

@morganpettit97 i needed this. thanks again

@morganpettit97 thank you!!! i’ll def look into a carrier. and prioritizing my baby and myself is a must, i do feel that my lack of interest to pump is in someway neglecting her though i’m in a moral conflict about this whole thing

i’m only 2 weeks pp. the dad doesn’t exist and i’m living alone and doing everything on my own. i feed her every 2-3 hours, and i’d try to pump after. i’ve found this to be unsustainable and im only be able to pump around 2-4 times per day. since im by myself, most of the time im holding the...
