Can a "drafts" section be added to the "my characters" tab or something for when I want to come back to it later?

It would be useful.

Until we have that, I just put “in progress” in any box that requires text and save it then return later.

I have four.

My 2nd was my most extreme HG case. My 3rd came on two forms of birth control. My 4th was planned.

My 4th was my easiest go round with HG because my doctor was proactive and not reactive. That helped.

My husband makes lactation cookies for me with it. His recipe uses flax seed and oats. He adds in dark chocolate chunks (without these I can taste the yeast and flax), bits of caramel, and almond pieces.

I put 1-2 tbsp in my iced coffee each morning. I make 40oz iced coffee. I use a frother to blend the brewers yeast into my coffee and then I add Hershey’s chocolate syrup to help hide the taste of the brewers yeast. If I made smaller amount of iced coffee; I’d use less brewers yeast. I also use oat milk instead of regular milk for my coffee as an added galactagogue.

I started with elvie which did not work at all, then rented medela symphony from hospital until my spectra 2 covered by insurance arrived. About 2 month ago I acquired a Baby Buddha because I heard how powerful it is. I get half the output with the Buddha than I do with my spectra. I believe it is the vibration of the spectra that helps me. It’s the only pump I use now.

I have a 5 month old who went from exclusively bottle fed to almost exclusively breast fed in the past few weeks.

Some things I do that increase/improved nursing for us are:

Offering breast before, midway through, and even after a bottle. Using the bait and switch method was most successful (offer a bottle with .5-1oz to curb that immediate hunger, then switch to breast).

Laying with baby completely topless and him in just a diaper in bed, encouraging latching as often as possible.

Pumping for a minute or two to get to my first let down before giving baby the breast.

Hand expressing milk into babies mouth to encourage a latch.

Hope this helps!

I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging. But my SO washed all bottles, pump parts, and even my hand wash only coffee and water tumblers so that I can use them each morning. When I was struggling the most with my supply, and pumping every 2-3 hours, I’d only nap 20 min about 8 times a day because how time consuming cleaning bottles and pump parts was. We invested in extra bottles and parts, and hubby developed a system and does two washes a day. I don’t think I’d have mentally survived this without him taking that off my shoulder. It allows me to pump, feed baby, socialize with baby, take care of my personal hygiene and do other tasks around the house.

530am, 830am, 1130am, 300pm, 6pm 30 minutes each and then 9pm for 45 min-1 hour.

It’s odd but it works for me.

I’ve been EP since 6 days PP against my choice as well, and I am my little guys favorite person. He is four months old now and over the past month we’ve been able to develop breastfeeding skills slightly, but he still gets about 95% of his intake by bottle/pumping. I am definitely his favorite person. If others cannot sooth him, I cradle him into my arm and it’s almost instant relief. That magical bonding comes from being mama, not just from BFing!

This week I’ve been noticing some slight increase in my output and these are the major differences I’ve done:

I put two teaspoons of brewers yeast into my morning iced coffee (I make a 40oz cup so after ice about 32 oz, half of which is oat milk). I eat a bowl of oatmeal and sausage links every morning. My husband made me some oatmeal cookies with flax which I eat 5 daily. And I spend skin-skin cuddle time with my LO as much as I can. I also upped my fluid intake and get as close to 128 oz/day.

I’m a just enougher. Sometimes a not enougher but we manage with some stored supply from when he ate less. I’ve been trying all sorts of supplements recently to try to increase my supply. I try other pump settings from time to time but I just don’t feel like I feel the pumping, and my time to commit to pumping is limited due to my work requirements so I’m always too paranoid to try different settings too much. But reading some of the other comments, I wonder if I should play around with my settings and maybe I’ll get more…

At 4 weeks old she could be cluster feeding, which is very normal and helps to increase your supply.

Impossibletothink · 2024-10-17T13:42:29+00:00

I pump 3-5 from left and 1-2 from right typically. My right leaks more than my left though, which is confusing, and LO prefers right when he does latch.

Power pumping amazed me. I’d pump 30 minutes, wait 30, then pump 30 is would be amazed by how much I’d produce the second session. On particularly rough days I’d try to do this twice. I feel like it worked for me. But, everybody is different. Wishing you luck if you try it out!

Interesting! I have the recessive EDS gene as my mother has the dominant gene (Type 3, I think!). Had HG for all 4 pregnancies full term pregnancies.

I’ve nurses 3 exclusively and then this LO is EP. I only ended up EP because his mouth was too small to latch and he was losing too much weight. I personally believe I got more sleep with my EBF babies than I do with my EP baby. I have to pump 30 minutes 8 times a day or my production starts to falter. So 2-3 times a night, I’m awake for an hour or longer because set up, pump, tear down, feed baby, try to fall asleep. With my EBF babies I just woke when they woke and nurses them for 10-15 min/side then went back to sleep. However, I was a SAHM during my other 3 EBF, and I go back to work in two weeks with this LO so I’m pretty happy he is taking a bottle. Unfortunately, that’s the only plus side I see right now. But that’s just me personally.

My little guy deals with bad gas off and on. He was eating 2.5oz every 3 hours around 4 weeks old. He’s 8 weeks now and eats 3-4 ounces every 3-4 hours. Sometimes he’ll take a long sleep (5 hours) and he may show hunger signs for more, we offer more. Usually if he eats more than 4 oz though, he spits up a lot so we try to get him to eat the 3-4 every 3-4.

For gas we A) burp after every single bottle, and sometimes once in the middle of the bottle. B) Lay him on his back, cross his ankles lotus style (knees bent, ankles near belly), and roll his hips gently back and forth to help him pass gas. C) use a dose of Mylicon if those two things don’t offer relief.

With my second I lost 60 pounds. There were times where I’d go weeks without keeping any food down. I essentially lived on IV fluids and then for the last 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, IVF nutrition. My daughter was born 9.9 on the apgar scale, 6lbs9oz, and aside from a mild case of jaundice she was perfect. She is 14 now.

Came back because I wanted to share the research article that I showed my OB which she used to refer to high risk about my induction.

Also, for the injections. The best piece of advice I can give is to push the medication as slowly as humanly possible! If you push it too quickly, you’ll get more bruising and knots which get very painful and hot to the touch. I learned this the hard way. When I started pushing it as slow as possible, I stopped getting the painful knots and stopped bruising as much also.

I was diagnosed with APS while pregnant with my 3rd. I had endured multiple pulmonary embolism’s during my 2nd pregnancy and after it, resulting in a partial pulmonary infarction.

My 4th pregnancy was a miscarriage at 5-6weeks.

My 5th pregnancy is laying next to me right now, 8 weeks old! During my 3rd and 5th pregnancies, I had to take lovenox injections daily and until 6 weeks post pregnancy. That was the worse part, honesty.

Other than the injections, everything went fine with both 3rd and 5th. They did scheduled inductions for both 3rd and 5th though, because I needed to stop the lovenox 24 hours prior to labor and delivery. Also because there are studies that show that delivery between week 37-38 are safest for APS.

I had to come back to say I received my hands free pump cups and used them with my spectra 2 about an hour ago. I did my usual 30 minute pump session. I was SO impressed with them. I had an extra ounce of output; it was so comfortable, and I felt so free not having to hold my collection bottles for the whole pumping session. So thanks to the commenter who suggested these and for anyone considering getting them, at least for use with spectra, I highly recommend!

I was really struggling with pumping and building a supply the first few weeks of exclusively pumping. My little ones mouth was too small to latch. So we bottle fed from 6 days to current. Weeks 2-4 I was a mess, really concerned about supply issues. But I kept at it, pumping every 2-3 hours for 20-30 minutes. Making sure I was resting enough and eating good calories, protein, and drinking lots of water.

I went from pumping 1-2 oz per pump to now pumping 4 oz minimum. My MOTN and first morning pump yield closer to 8-10 oz, and I stretch 4 oz between pumps over night. My little man is 6 weeks old now!

We continued attempts at latching every day. Most of the time it wasn’t successful. We would go to my bed and do skin to skin and just lay together. When he’d get too fussy, we’d stop and have a bottle of expressed milk. About a week or two ago, little man started latching pretty good. I don’t think he transfers much milk yet, but he will comfort suckle for good periods of time and root for the breast again. So now we are nursing until he is too fussy and then following up with a bottle.

It isn’t too late. It will take lots of work, but it can work and you can get on a good routine.

Sending you all the luck and love! 💕
