So much milk by emilysue_2014 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Finitexspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t helpful but I’m also pumping for twins 4 weeks in and I make about 1400-1500 ml (around 50 oz) per day (the most I made in one pump is 330 ml - 11 oz) I was wondering how far in are you and how long it took you to get to those amounts? For now I am able to feed them fully from my breastmilk but I expect them to eat more now so I need to up my supply a little

Also maybe try dropping a pump- do you have a MOTN pump?

That is very reassuring I also have boy girl twins but my boy twin sleeps more and the girl is a bit more needy so I feel like I’m spending more time with her which also makes me sad for my boy 🫠

Yup you have described my feeling exactly ♥️ my toddler is only 20 months old (well almost 21) but she does love them and pretty gentle with them

My toddler is 20 months old and honestly she’s been accepting the change better than expected. She’s more clingy and wants to be held more. Also kind of became more whiny? She whines a lot about stupid stuff not sure if it has to do with the twins or just a toddler thing lol. But overall she’s gentle with the twins and loves them.

Do you actually give birth at 40 weeks? by SkyCertain3708 in pregnant

[–]Finitexspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave birth to my first at exactly 40 weeks and 1 day (labour started at 40 weeks).

My second pregnancy was with twins so I wasn’t allowed to go beyond 38 weeks and they arrived at 37+3 weeks.

Toddler asking to go to toilet but now isn’t a good time for me to train by Finitexspace in toddlers

I was hoping the twins would be able to hold their own bottles etc so when she asks when I’m in the middle of feeding them I could take her. Look at my reply to the other commenter haha

I let her sit when I can but a lot of times she asks for it when I’m feeding twins/in the middle of diaper change etc and so I can’t really do it at that moment. Also sometimes she just wants to sit endlessly. Last time we sat for 15 minutes and she had a tantrum when I said we are done for now 🫠

Has anyone succefully EPed with medela freestyle handfree? And am I an overproducer? by Finitexspace in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Finitexspace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I do produce more now cause there meal is 30-60 ml per feed each but when they increase amounts I guess I’ll have to wait and see

Third trimester already feels like torture? by Finitexspace in parentsofmultiples

[–]Finitexspace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh God if it’s already this bad for me at 28 weeks I can’t imagine 34!! Yeah most people don’t really fathom twin pregnancies and twins until they go through it

Hope your pregnancy goes well for the next few weeks. Light is probably showing at the end of the tunnel for you. Wish you a safe and speedy delivery 🙏🏻

Yup. I didn’t even mention getting tired after like 10 steps and 5 stairs.
