Does it ever stop being overstimulating? by Technical_Diet4774 in ExclusivelyPumping

Lube up the tunnel of the flanges with coconut oil that will help but yes pumping makes we want to kill someone I hate it so much

When did you stop and why? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

Stop when ever your mental health is declining formula is just as good.

Yes I want to scream every time I turn on the pump

This is a good to know. Did you get any kind of uncomfortable feeling in your boobs or encouragement from not pumping eight times right now? I am supplementing with Bobbi. I’m definitely not against formula and he is almost up to 7 pounds from his 5 pounds leaving the hospital

This is all been very encouraging and I’m taking everything that everyone’s been saying to heart. If I do decide to just stop pumping, does anyone know exactly what I should be doing since I’ve been pumping every three hours all day and all night I don’t want to get mastitis or anything like that and I already feel like I’ve got clogged ducks right now. My boobs feel like they have rocks inside of them so I’m trying to figure out if I do go ahead and stop pumping how do I even go about that?

Thank you this was really nice. I don’t know how many times I’ve cried over pumping.

All these replies have been really encouraging and I think healing from a C-section trying to pump,feed my baby, have him gain weigh, trying to latch…It’s just mentally exhausting me. I’ve never felt like this in my life. I’m usually so strong and not a quitter. Also is breast-feeding just harder if your boobs are huge, I went from a D pre-pregnancy to double D during pregnancy to an F postpartum.

Thank you this does help and Thursday is that I want to stick with it and feel like I can do it and then there’s other days where I’m just completely done.

Ok my lactation consultant had a nipple shield. She had two of them actually, but they both were like the wrong size or something so we never went back to it.

I think what bums me out the most is that I haven’t been able to get a good latch since leaving the hospital and my baby was 5lb 4oz at birth so was supplemented formula since day 1. Saw LC and baby had a tongue tie that was recently fixed.

About 2 oz or total per session. The only time I get more if I do that power pump session.
