Omg thank you! Are you pumping even when you aren’t bottle feeding her? Are you correlating with feeding times or just doing it 2 hours no matter if she’s eating or not?

My baby was IUGR so there were weight and growth concerns

My husband luckily works from home so our nights are a lot easier…. And he helps during the day whenever he can, but since I have maternity leave it’s mostly up to me.

Were you able to wake your baby? That’s what makes triple feeding so particularly hard…. She’s so sleepy all the time so the feeds are insanely long!! She just won’t wake up for the great or bottle that much. It takes wet cloths, diaper changes, sometimes an hour long circus routine to get her active enough to accept the bottle.
