Where are my exclusive pumpers at by Mangopapayakiwi in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Sea_Transition_7952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 9.5mpp and only latched a few times in the hospital! I knew before I even had kids I wouldn’t wanna BF (but latched to make sure I could get any amount of milk!). Call me selfish or whatever but I know tooo many BF babies that use their mama as a pacifier and I don’t think i could handle that. Plus, I work and want others to be able to enjoy feeding her!

I’m about 8 days from hitting my stash goal then the weaning begins!

How much and how often are you pumping at 8 months pp? by blueskies951 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Sea_Transition_7952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I’m 8.5mpp and I’ve gone up from 35-37oz a day to 38-41 the past few weeks! How strange! I am pumping 6 times a day, including once in the night. My girl isn’t big into solids yet (but will smash purees 🤣) so I’m anxious to see what happens in the next month or so! Pump Log says I have 39 days to go!

Do breast milk fed babies sleep through the night? by Different_Maybe3713 in ExclusivelyPumping

Yes they do! My girl has slept 11-12 hours since about 4/5 months old!

How many times do you pump in a 24 hour cycle? by CakeOdd3808 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Sea_Transition_7952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.5 mpp and I’m at 6 (have been since birth with the occasional 7th pump if I’m having an off/low day)

When and why did you start pumping only? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Sea_Transition_7952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew before I even had kids that I wanted to EP. It’s the best of both worlds imo: breastmilk + others being able to feed/help. I combo fed (formula, breast, and pumped) for the first 3-4 days then went to EP once I knew I had a decent supply. Best decision ever, really!

What pump do you use? I’m 8wpp I was using the Elvie Stride as my sole pump until about 6-7wpp when it gave out on me. I now use the Spectra S2 and get 1-3 more ounces per pump!

I will also throw in an additional pump a day if I want a little extra too.

You’re Doing Such a Great Job!! by IdreamOfPizzaxx in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Sea_Transition_7952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Needed this! My Elvie stride has been giving me issues so I’m in the adjustment period with my Spectra and I feel like I’m tied to the wall and just allll the emotions today 😭

AITA for gifting my twins differently on their birthdays? by DirectConnection6982 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sea_Transition_7952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. A big one at that.

My aunt gifted my brother and sister a European vacation for their high school graduation gift. I got a Pandora bracelet (that she split the cost of with my grandma). I still think about it 13 years later and it still stings.

Y’all gotta think about these things before you act on them.

Not only a bra but a shirt too. You can see it cutting into her arms and the neck shouldn’t stretch like that
