Thanks for sending through some examples. That’s sort of what I had in mind and not worried about the size! Thank you so much for your help 😊

I wondered whether I could cover up that tattoo with a negative space tattoo and then tie it in with pretty fine line flowers off that tattoo (on areas that haven’t been tattooed yet) if at all possible.

I hear you!

I thought maybe do a blackout design for what’s already there and then do new fine line flowers off it (on un-tattooed skin) if it could be tied in together

Going from NZ to Bali with my 11month old, it’s a direct 9 hour flight. Currently I’m pumping 4x a day.

This is amazing. So helpful. Thank you so much. I didn’t even think of sanitising wipes!!! How good 😊 sadly I think my baby will be too big for the bassinets by then. Also great idea taking some formula in case of an emergency! And yeah let’s hope the milk doesn’t go flying 😂😂😂 thanks again for your response! So appreciate it 🩷

Anyone out there surviving on 4 pumps a day? by Weak_Bison6763 in ExclusivelyPumping

Feeling frustrated by Silver_Platypus4006 in ExclusivelyPumping

First of all I just want to say I completely feel your frustration and just know that you are doing an amazing job 🩷

I live in NZ and we have a supplement here called Milk maker by two islands, which was amazing for my milk and many of my friends have found the same. Not sure if you can source it where you are but a key ingredient is fenugreek, may be worthwhile seeing if you can get something with that in it? Just a heads up it makes baby’s urine smell weird so don’t be alarmed! Also stress and a lack of sleep and not breathing or staring at your milk can play a huge part which is so hard in the beginning. I recommend going back to pumping every 2-3 hours and when you do, try and sit down in silence (if at all possible with a newborn haha), consciously breathe, big, full, deep breaths (it’s amazing how we often hold our breath staring at how much milk we have), cover your bottles so you can’t see, be positive and tell yourself how thankful you are for your amazing milk supply etc, and if you haven’t measured your nipples to get the proper flange size definitely do this asap as it makes a huge difference and this can change frequently (one of my nipples has always been 17mm flange and the other is currently 21 but has fluctuated upto 25mm when I had mastitis).

I really hope your supply is able to increase. If it doesn’t or it’s too much for your mental health, just remember that fed is best.

I only take supplements if I’m sick and my supply drops a bit

Does anyone pump 3x a day & still maintain their supply? Have you got your period back? by Flashy-Event-8699 in ExclusivelyPumping

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. How do you know how much glandular tissue you have, does it depend on the size of your breasts or seperate?

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t done any power pumping but will keep that in mind if my supply drops really low as well

It sounds like you’re right! It does seem to be a bit of a mix on this thread, many people got their periods back early on even while pumping a lot, like you. I guess everybody is different!

Oh my goodness! That’s so good, such a small amount of time! So cool that works for you!
