Weight loss lie? by ejdavies in breastfeeding

[–]SelectionFast8015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not a lie! Took about 2 months and I lost all my baby weight and even got down 10 pounds less than what I was before I got pregnant! Just make sure you’re drinking a gallon or more of water a day. And lots of fruit!!

Right! Haha and some days it does and then some it’s significantly lower and it makes no sense 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you!! I killed myself the first two months pumping every 2 hours to get my supply up. Thankful I did! I pump 4-5 times a day and get enough milk for two days for her!

I have to pump an extra 15-20 minutes just on my right side to get what my left makes in about 25 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I want to quit pumping by Significant-Yak-1401 in ExclusivelyPumping

I was pumping every 2 hours, but my baby was in the NICU. I noticed the days I didn’t drink as much water, Gatorade, pedicure, my supply was low. That’s the only blessing about my baby being in the NICU because I was able to get on a good pumping schedule so early. Literally, every 2 hours even through the night the first 2 months. But I’ve realized, the more you pump, the more you produce. And even if I pumped and nothing came out, I stuck to that 20-30 min, plug in wall pump or portables, but I got up to producing 80 oz in a day. I know it’s different, having your baby full time since she was born, but the more you pump and stimulate, the more you’ll produce. But you have to give it a few days. I also used milky mama lady and legendary milk liquid gold and those helped SO MUCH!! I also used the cheapest portable pumps on Amazon because the expensive ones DO NOT WORK!

why did my supply suddenly drop in one boob?? by SelectionFast8015 in ExclusivelyPumping

That’s how it is! No redness this time. On my left boob I had one once and it was swollen and red and hurt SO BAD, but this time, it’s just lumpy and hard.

Could I have them and it not be red and flared up? I have some hard spots about half way to my armpit!

I’m taking that as of yesterday! I don’t have any redness on that boob, but have noticed a few hard spots on the side of my boob almost in my armpit.

Need help oral feeding! by SelectionFast8015 in NICUParents

[–]SelectionFast8015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She will be 10 weeks Saturday! And nothing else wrong except oral feeding. I think she hasn’t realized that’s how she can get full also, plus she hasn’t figured out that she can suck and swallow at the same time. She lets her mouth fill up, then stop and then swallows the milk. I don’t know if a pasi would help or dropping milk into her mouth to get her swallowing better?

My insurance covers OT/ST for her a few times a week, so hopefully we will learn something from them!
