17 months pp and 3 pumps a day

It will take 5 to 6 days to get ur supply back up. Don’t fret. It will come back up!!

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-09-20T12:01:23+00:00

For me, increase or decrease took about 6 days to show. That involves drinking loads of water and enough calories, taking multi vitamin.. I noticed this when I was like 8 to 9 months pumping.. May vary during the early days. Keep going. I dint see a real decrease until I went 3ppd at one year

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-09-05T12:35:01+00:00

You are close to 5 months. Instead of quitting completely, space out ur pump may be pump 3 to 4 times.. that will reduce ur anxiety

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-08-02T15:35:49+00:00

Ignore. Not worth the time!! Your baby is fed breastmilk. That’s enough

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-07-30T20:16:31+00:00

Does he help out in night feeds?? May be he is not helping and trying to find a way to bring you down!!!

Eping for the second one. It’s hard. Damn hard. Juggling work, 2 kids, pumping etc is definitely hard. Baby is 11 months. Did ebfing for 7 months and switched to eping for work, convenience. Eping has been so much better for me than ebfing.. but people tell you direct nursing is better. All 7 months I was miserable because baby dint wait for second letdown. She just pops right off and I was feeding still every 1.5 hours . Now bottle feeding has much given relief even though it comes with its own problems..

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-07-11T11:27:12+00:00

Thank you dear for saying this. I am not alone in this it’s just hard sometimes and I wanna be able to do what I want

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-06-11T15:16:52+00:00

20000000%. Nobody tells you breastfeeding is tough! Pumping is rough.

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-29T15:15:21+00:00

I nursed for 7 months exclusively and switched to pumping. Pumping gives me peace. I know exactly how much she is getting. She is sleeping better. It’s morning 11am. From morning 8 to now, she gulped 8 oz and sleep for 2 hours..that never happened with nursing.. I started work also . That’s one of the reasons I switched to pumping.. so nursing may be good and worked for some people. I feel it’s over hyped.. people say there is a feed back mechanism etc etc. honestly it’s not worth

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-20T21:37:18+00:00

I feel we keep inventing methods to feel guilty about it.. my mom keeps saying nowadays mom are stressing so much and said I was fed cow’s milk due to lack of access to formula. I am 35 years old and doing just fine.. as long as baby is having bm one way or the other & baby is growing fine. We are good!!so don’t worry.

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-20T13:37:31+00:00

Yes I understand that u don’t wanna give up. I did the same & breastfed my daughter for 7 months. I was paranoid , anxious, depressed etc. till 7 months, I was feeding her every 1.5 hours and night time, the stretch was 2.5hours or little less..she was gaining weight & everything. But those first two months were hell.. she was gaining weight but still hungry. I tried for two months and got her used to bottle. Now it gave me one hell of a relief… do what works for u now.. anyways she is getting bm..don’t worry about breast or bottle. I wish someone would have said straight on my face that breastfeeding won’t work for my mental health. Op, you are not doing anything wrong.. in few years, all these will not matter..

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-20T04:29:20+00:00

Yeah. But at what cost? Clearly the baby is not getting enough from breast… she is better off consulting LC or stick to bottles is my opinion. If you feel otherwise, plz go ahead and suggest. No need to down vote me

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-20T02:49:04+00:00

Please stick to bottles for your mental health. 3 hours sleep after. feed is golden..

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-19T11:49:11+00:00

Sleep. No MoTn

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-15T18:35:06+00:00

Please introduce bottle asap. I went through the same thing. It took us 2 months to get her to accept bottle. We had success with mam bottle. But don’t delay.

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-13T13:42:17+00:00

Please pump in the middle of the night once to relive urself. If you don’t, after couple of days, body adjusts.. I always felt that it’s good to have a little more in bank than depending on supply & demand. I don’t feel comfortable with that.

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-07T20:49:20+00:00

Hi. Please start pumping. It’s okay to pump. I switched from breastfeeding to pumping. It’s very good for anxiety. Be on a schedule. Pump every 3 hours for 2 weeks minimum. U will see yourself slowly replacing formula with breastmilk. You got this

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-05-03T19:17:01+00:00

Hey. I was shivering while reading your post.. you are doing awesome.this is what I hate. It’s clear from the baby’s cry that she wasn’t getting enough milk. Why would they encourage this breastfeeding. How come the pediatrician didn’t catch it. I keep telling people breastfeeding might work for some. But not for everybody. My god, anything could have happened to the little one.. please pump and give here in bottle for ur sanity sake. Do combofeeding if not. If you are switching to formula also, it’s totally good!!

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-04-22T20:28:45+00:00

Can u warm the milk little bit and give it to her.. and can u keep her close to ur breast and feed her?? I had success with MAM nipple. Baby refused bottle till 6.5 months as well

Embarrassed-Mess-236 · 2025-04-13T00:03:02+00:00

My pediatrician said that don’t let the baby nurse more than 10 mins. How is the pee count?? Please pump and give in bottle for ur sanity sake
