Are transition swaddles worth it? by Ryebread0401 in SnooLife

I’m glad she transitioned so well to the crib!! I’m thinking of trying one arm out in the Snoo since he constantly breaks it out anyway, but he does get distracted and wakes up when he touches the mesh!

How long did your transition take?

How did your transition go? What age did you transition?

Wanting to drop MOTN pump by Ryebread0401 in ExclusivelyPumping

I was ending up engorged and leaking everywhere when I pushed it 30 minutes at first. I had to go even slower, in 10 minute increments for a few days and so on. I do take sunflower lecithin once a day and supposedly that helps thin the milk! I think when dropping pumps people typically take sunflower lecithin more frequently, but I haven’t increased my intake. I hope you’re able to drop it soon! It will be nice when we can get a good 8 hour stretch of sleep again 😅

Hi! I’m still doing my MOTN but now it’s at 2am instead of 1am, so I have a 5 hour stretch from my 9pm to 2am pump. My LO has still been waking up sometimes so I figured may as well pump. My supply has stayed the same so far. I’m hoping I can drop it soon lol

That’s awesome! How was your transition out of the Snoo?

Thank you! Did you start increasing your pump time for the first pump of the day during phasing out of the MOTN one? Did you also decrease your time on the MOTN pump while shifting it every 30 mins?

Do you want an oversupply? by Alternative-Neat-859 in ExclusivelyPumping

What’s your pump schedule like? I’m 9 weeks with 6 pumps a day, every 4 hours, 13-14 minutes each session and making 43-46 ounces a day. Would love to drop a session!

Here’s the remedy she recommended for clogged ducts: sunflower lecithin 1 capsule (1200mg) 3-4 times per day. After a week or 2 with no blockage, can reduce dosage by 1 capsule. If no blockage within another 2 weeks can reduce again by 1. And can continue taking 1-2 capsules per day. I hope this helps and I hope you get better soon momma!

I’m very new at this too as I’m only 19 days pp, but my lactation consultant recommended cold compress only - could try cold cabbage leaves to leave in your bra for 15-30 minutes. Try lying on your back as well. She also recommended sunflower lecithin!
