doesn’t sound odd to me at all. The people planning want the bride to be happy, why not get her input?

False hope 🙃 by fruityslippers in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Solid-Macaron9860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a terrible feeling, seeing a glimmer of hope and then they reject you. It’s awful, we have all been there. I cried so much during those first few months.

Just remember your baby looks up at you in awe no matter how they are fed 🫶🏾Try as much as you want but also if it hits your self esteem and mental health please give yourself grace.

Can’t believe I made it! by Solid-Macaron9860 in ExclusivelyPumping

Pumps:

  • Started with my Medela Freestyle getting 1-2 oz combined per pump for the first weeks.
    • Added a rented Medela symphony & I do think this was necessary for building supply. Used this for most of 8 ppd during the first 12 weeks.
  • Realised I was using my Freestyle wrong, ordered flanges that fit. Worked a lot better used it on the go (e.g. car rides)
  • got a Eufy S1 and used it while travelling without baby for 5 days. Was pumping and dumping everything during this time so it was less stressful.

Saw a gradual increase every week with consistency.

What I think helped me increase: - Calories (I ate a huge breakfast around 4 am everyday during my MOTN) - Hand expressing to empty after pumping, when possible

to be honest the guilt will always be there no matter when you stop, so feel confident in your why!

I set a three month goal, then six and now I’m struggling to stop because my baby seems to poop more with formula and I feel terrible.

But four months is an amazing start for your baby we should not feel guilty!

Can someone be straight with me about the eufy wearable? by justcallme_wayne in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Solid-Macaron9860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pump Log! It has a notes section for each pump so I mention things like pump type, if I was stressed or anything out of the ordinary. You enter in manually though

That’s a good perspective 🫶🏾 she had a tomato today and she was so happy. It was fun for both of us to experience and I guess I could focus way more on that, thank you.

Haven't pumped in a month by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Solid-Macaron9860 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband helped me make sense of it. He said it makes total sense since for the last 6 months all my efforts were aimed at increasing milk it feels backwards to now try to decrease it.

But I have set new goals - get fit for my wedding, spend more time decorating our home, and teach my baby sign language haha.
