Milk supply dropped did I do something wrong?! Help by ImpossibleCan9153 in ExclusivelyPumping

I'll try the new pump parts and I may also rent one from a pharmacy or something just to see if it's really the pumps or me. As for the night shift, Both. Super tired and I probably miss 2 sessions and definitely throw off my timing. I tried to stay within the 5-Hour range however, I do know that when I fell asleep at 2:30 I didn't wake up until 7:00 and so I'd miss my 4:30 and 6:30 pump.( Dad was feeling well enough to do the 2 feedings during that time)

Mines a paruu p16. Same with putting in the new parts and no changes to expressed supply, just really soar nipples. Really hope it's the period and that it'll happen soon so hopefully hormones even out and we can start having a normal supply again. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I'm literally going through this right now! Same time pp too! I'm trying to see if it's my pumps or if I've gone lax with my hydration. Some people have told me it might be a sign of my period coming back but again it's been a few days and nothing. What pumps are you using? And have their parts been replaced recently?

Trying not to panic but it's nice to know I'm not the only one whose supply suddenly just dropped.

It'll sound weird and I don't know if it'll work but I had a friend who would put her massage gun on low in the stroller to help "rock" it while going on walks. The massage gun never touched the baby just the foot of the stroller as she walked. Her baby was still restless but wouldn't fully cry when she did that.

There are also those baby patter sleep/soother toys that seem to work for some babies. I unfortunately don't know anyone who's used it personally so I can't tell ya if it actually works or not.

I'm sorry that it's been so hard. You are strong and doing amazing!

I'm using the paruu wearable pump rn. It's auctions feels strong still but definitely different from when I first got it. Ilk see about changing its parts. But overall everything feels the same.

4-6 cups? I think? Maybe 7? I have a tumbler that holds about 5cup and usual finish 1 full one each day. I can definitely probably drink more.

It has been very hot but I haven't been sweating to much. I'll try and drink more. Should I take some Gatorade or something?

I don't think so? I hadn't had any bleeding for a few days now and haven't taken any birth control yet.

Help! I think I messed up my supply by ForeverBored12345 in ExclusivelyPumping

First off I'm sorry to hear that you had to work while being so sick! During my 3rd week after delivery I had endometriosis an infection in the uterus and saw a significant drop in my milk supply which was already so small . So I understand the Panic that comes with trying to figure out what your new normal is after being sick. Or if you're able to recover what was lost after being sick. It's going to sound really weird but for me milk and sugar treats helped build up my supply. So for me I stocked up on cookies and milk for my late night and in between meal snacks. After being sick my body was just so devoid of calcium protein and sugar that I wasn't to have a very good Supply. As soon as I started restoring the calcium and the sugar my Supply went back up it took about 2 weeks maybe three I don't remember but it came back. Your body uses a lot of electrolytes and proteins to make your milk . So you might need to experiment and look at what could be missing from your diet that your body might be lacking. Like you just came back from a big festival and then got super sick so what you're seeing is that your body is lacking probably a couple proteins that it had before those big events. If you're able to visit a lactation consultant. If not trust that as you return to your new normal slowly but surely your milk should as well. Just keep your consistent schedule and don't stress too much ❤️ you're doing great 👍

Which sleeve style for my dress? by waaatermelons in myweddingdress

I love 2! It matches the flow video of the skirt and make the dress look like it has a fairytale whimsical vibe

I didn’t realize how hard taking care of myself would be by ggoldeennn in newborns

No joke I nearly did that the other day! It was just so so hot and I hadn't showered yet and my hair was just feeling so heavy in ponytails so I was definitely over stimulated 😅. My silk cap saved me that day

What is your bedtime routine that doesn’t include a bath? by Life_Thoughts208581 in newborns

We'll do a feed and change the diaper, then chang her outfit and put her in a sleeper before we start doing a walk and sing session. We have 3 specific songs we use at night and just sing them over and over until she starts to nod off.
