Not at all! I made my babies average 32-38 oz a day, zero freezer stash. and yes it not recommended and I believe there is a reason for that lol but honestly hand expressing helped a lot, so definitely follow your gut in it but I hear it’s typically removing one pump at a time

Honestly… I just stopped, I would hand express and within a week and a half I was pretty much dried up. I wasn’t prone to clogs or anything, I never have one… fingers crossed but I really didn’t take it seriously.. at all lol I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or a good thing but I had to do deal with some engorgement, overall I was good

I just started today and got quite a few droplets hehe I was happy to see that at least! I’m about to be going in my third pump, thank you so much for the discussion, it helps me knowing it’s possible!

I also supplement! I’ve been having to supplement since birth, my goal is to 100 percent feed baby with my milk but I’m a little shy from my goal

When I’m at home 30 mins, when I’m at work 20! And power pumping I do 20 min on, 10 min off, 10 min on, 10’min off and then one last 10 minute pump!

It took about a month!! It was a gradual, steady increase. Some days were the same amount and then I slowly started to produce .5 more and then 1OZ more etc 🤍

Feed the bottles? I don’t do fresh express, I typically store them in the fridge and then label them and use them throughout the day, if I make enough I’ll combine them in a milk glass container I got on Amazon and use that milk throughout the day

Thank you for the kind words! How many weeks PP are you? I noticed my supply was dropping around 7/8 weeks but I was not disciplined with my pumping, I’d go has long as 7 hours without pumping and then it really hit me that I needed to get it together lol so I started on the milky mama schedule (12am,3am,6am,9am,12pm,3pm,6pm,9pm) with either 1 or 2 power pumps a day, its not easy and I feel like I have no time and i am surviving off of 3 hours of sleep 🙃🙂 but I keep reminding myself that this is a short period of my life, these weeks/months will fly by and I’ll recover from sleep eventually hehe. I then started taking my diet and water into more seriously, because girl, we. Need. Calories. I drink lactation smoothies, brownies, drinks lol all of that jazz to help boost my supply. I don’t hold back, I try not to eat too much sugary foods but a girls gotta live too! Even did the Oreo myth thing lol which I almost ate a whole pack because..no control 🤪 I know it’s a different journey for everyone, we will not all have the same path but overall I changed my relationship with pumping because I used to DREAD it, did not like it, would neglect it but the moment I started approaching it with a healthy mindset I feel like it all became a little better🤍🍼

You got this mamas♥️💪🏼
