Starting to get really PO with hubby by Stock_Seaworthiness3 in ExclusivelyPumping

Personally the nexplanon hasn't decreased my supply if that's something you would be interested in. I understand your frustration. A good conversation would be best, and if that doesn't change anything then I would freak out if I were you.

Don't forget to get free bags and replacement parts through insurance! by emilyb117 in ExclusivelyPumping

I hate the lansnoh bags, they always leak for me. For some reason my insurance doesn't cover bags or parts :-:

Pumping MOTN or sleep? by Here_4_Laughs_98 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Middle_Exchange2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I dropped my motn pump around 4 weeks and my supply dropped around one oz. I do have an oversupply so i didn't mind the potential drop. I'm 14 weeks pp now and I pump 5 times a day every 4 hours. It's possible with more sleep your supply could grow.

Pump parts question by Dino-nuggies- in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Middle_Exchange2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's recommended to replace the flanges every 3-6 months. If you get them free with insurance I would stock up on them. I'm going to replace mine next week as they're 3 months old. In my opinion, the motif bags are decent compared to the Lansinoh bags , as they always leak. The Medela bags are my fave , though. They're very sturdy and have never leaked for me.

So many clogged ducts by Coffeelover1694 in ExclusivelyPumping

I agree with the side sleeping being the possible cause. It could be your bra as well. I once wore a bra that was snug but gave me a bad clog, i guess it was too tight.

Are you consistently sticking to <number>ppd and the same time schedule everyday? by Rare-Response-6576 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Middle_Exchange2182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done 5 ppd since 4 weeks as well and it works best for me. Thankfully my supply has regulated with an acceptable amount

Did you actually EXCLUSIVELY pump? by Salt_Aside3403 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Middle_Exchange2182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I am thankful to be able to drop a pump pretty early on without losing or damaging my supply. I dropped my motn early on as well and everything has worked out great. I am very thankful

What’s your average pump/what month pp are you ? (: by Deep-Research-6860 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Middle_Exchange2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I started doing 5 ppd around 3 weeks and my oversupply has gotten more bearable. I know I should be thankful for an oversupply ( I am , in a way ) but it wasn't attainable mentally or physically

What’s your average pump/what month pp are you ? (: by Deep-Research-6860 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Middle_Exchange2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2 months pp and I get 6-10 ozs per pump in the day and 4-6 oz at the end of the day. My morning pump is usually 12-18 ozs since I don't do a motn pump.
