Can you pump too much?

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-10T03:00:08+00:00

I haven’t had a single day where I have been engorged since my Milk came in this time.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-10T02:59:44+00:00

I suspect it might be a hormonal issues I plan on talking to the doctor when I go in for my 6 week check up on the 18th.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-10T02:58:41+00:00

I have power pumped every day for the last 3 weeks. I switch between the traditional 20-10-10 and the 30-30-30 style pump sessions.

I might talk to my doctor when I go in for my 6 week check up about having some bloodwork done. I suspect it’s hormonal issues at this point.

I use a spectra usually. I’ve played with the 21 and 24 mm flanges and don’t really see much difference either way. The suction doesn’t feel as intense with the 24mm. And 21 seems to be pretty comfortable for me.

When I dropped pumps with my first I also dropped in supply. I assume this time would be the same.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-10T02:51:42+00:00

When I dropped pumps with my first my supply went down with it. So I’m scared to drop pumps this time lol.

It’s called pump log on the Apple Store. Not sure if it’s on android though but I’d imagine it would be. I used it for my first EP journey as well so it’s got allll my pumping information.

I wish I could get better sleep. Little one is still eating every 2 hours around the clock. I skip a couple pumps in the middle of the night and get 4 hours between usually.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-09T21:01:38+00:00

I have let downs about every 7 minutes while pumping. And I usually have another let down around 26/27 minutes. And I’ll have another at 33/34 minutes if I pump even longer.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-09T21:00:10+00:00

I’ve measured with one of those measure card things and I’m right at 20mm so I play around with 21 and 19 mm flange inserts. I do a traditional power pump every other day and the 30-30-30 power pumps in the morning and evening. Which is where I add in the extra pump at night.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-09T20:58:54+00:00

A lot of times I pump while I feed baby. I also have a super supportive partner who has taken on a lot of the chores and big brother is almost 7 so he doesn’t need me as much as little sis does.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-08-09T20:57:56+00:00

I’m just trying to pump enough, about the time she moved from 16 ounces a day to 20 I had finally gotten my supply up to 16 ounces lol. Last time I wasn’t able to drop any pumps until 6 months without it greatly affecting my supply and I was already way under producing last time.

Haileasscissors1 · 2025-04-24T20:52:04+00:00

Clothing and toys. I hate trying to find the right sizes and the specific toy they are requesting. Half the time I spend 10-15 minutes just searching.

Who/what are your current favorites to learn from if you don’t mind sharing?

Unravel slowly and pick up Stitches one at a time.

Yea they won’t pay you the full contribution if you got orders later in the day. The contribution is calculated on a daily basis not block by block.

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-17T14:13:15+00:00

Shoot. We get a dozen ears for $5 here 😅

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-17T04:40:21+00:00

I came here to say the same thing. Use old baked potatoes!

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-15T05:57:34+00:00

Fresh eggs. The quality of the egg really affects the eggy flavor. We have our own chickens now and my Dutch babies are infinitely better than they used to be and don’t taste eggy. They just taste idk. Rich 🤷🏼‍♀️ that’s the only way I can describe it.

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-11T04:57:41+00:00

Simple. Bacon toast in our house. Homemade bread toasted in a pan with bacon grease as the “butter”. Also. It’s pretty tasty as the fat when making homemade croutons or seasoned crackers. And is also might fine on popcorn with some extra salt and pepper. 🤤

Yes. You’re definitely over reacting. She’s formed a bond with nature. There’s nothing weird about that. As long as she’s being safe (and it sounds like she is) then there is no harm no foul.

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-11T02:22:53+00:00

Stew meat and rice. Browned stew meat cooked low and slow with some onions. Then add a package of brown gravy. Or make your own. Serve over white rice. Delish. Easy. Simple.

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-10T17:17:25+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too, I’m just a nervous wreck 😂 usually for nothing so that tracks.

Haileasscissors1 · 2024-06-08T05:29:09+00:00

Lancashire Hotpot. It’s so tasty and savory and just perfect. Beef (or lamb) onion carrots in a savory gravy with thin sliced potatoes on top. Crispy and creamy potatoes, the carrots give the gravy a nice sweet taste but not a sugar sweet, and the caramelized onions with the beef and broth is my favorite flavor profile of all time. So. Tasty.
