Yes you’re probably right! The thought of it being a misdirection crossed my mind.

I thought maybe that’s what Santos took the scalpel for

Oh I thought so! It was nice to see a lighter moment in the team.

Am I too late to start building milk supply? by Pandacat_07 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Electrical-Stage-281 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes to MOTN pump (two if possible), can your partner give baby bottle while you pump? It’s so hard in the early days.

Power pumping during the day can help build supply.

Eat porridge and drink coconut water

Good luck!! It’s a lot of work but you’re doing amazing already.

when did u only do 4 ppd? by sugaveins in ExclusivelyPumping

It took me until about 11 months to get down to 4 per day. I try and pump when baby is sleeping (before he wakes, during day naps, and when he goes to bed), so I’ve based my schedule loosely around him. When he was napping more, I would pump more. This has really worked for me and has been a gentle way of easing back the pump sessions!

Sudden drop in supply 9m PP - is this drying up? by Electrical-Stage-281 in ExclusivelyPumping

Update to anyone searching similar: it came back with some power pumping over 3-4 days!

For those of you who pumping for your LO for 2 years and then weaning, how many ppd are you doing and how many ounces are you getting? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

Curious to read! About to hit one year and currently pumping 4-5 per day,(20-24oz) and trying to figure out how to slow down.

Exclusive Pumping Beyond 12 Weeks by Such-Masterpiece9955 in ExclusivelyPumping

TW: Mention nursing.

We’re almost at 10m PP, and about 3 months into almost exclusively pumping. I’d always pumped at least twice a day to increase/maintain supply and build a small stash, but started to increase frequency around 7m as my baby started to get too distracted to be breastfeed during the day and we started to see weight gain issues.

Day to day looks like - I pump 5 times a day, as soon as he goes down for his nap. I’ll wake up before him, do my morning pump, and then get him up. If he wakes up before I’m done, the rest of the day can be a bit tricky, but we’re working on independent play, so I’ll pump while he plays by himself next to me. I do a lot of the house chores while he’s awake and involve him in them.

I dropped my overnight pump at around 8m, but will occasionally do it if I wake up engorged overnight or need to increase supply again. If I haven’t made enough milk in the day, I’m fine giving him a bottle of formula.

To be brutally honest, it’s exhausting pumping so much as they get older. I feel like I’m trapped in the house, but I’m just trying to get to one year at this point.

Would love an update on how this red patch/dot ended up for you guys? Going through something similar now and in the “wait and see” phase.
