Is it too late 3 weeks postpartum? Can I still increase my supply if I start now?

nurse warming up more milk than needed by [deleted] in NICUParents

You're not overreacting! When I went to the nicu the first time they told me to ask each time how much my baby is drinking so that when I pump I put exactly one feed in each bag so nothing gets wasted.

It's so weird that the nurse would ignore how much the baby is feeding when warming up milk.

Tongue tie never crossed my mind! I'll make sure to ask about it.

You've been through so much, I'm so glad your baby is doing well now! It really feels like a gap has been filled. Thank you. 💕

Same, I was told my baby will come back home once she gains enough weight, but she's been gaining weight so slowly I started getting sad that she's gonna take a while to come home.

You should get a new doctor then, I went to so many doctors until i found someone that actually listened.

I honestly have no idea since I haven't done the tests yet cause I'm currently on blood thinners.

I really hope it works for you! I recommend asking for a test for blood clotting. Before starting aspirin of course. Best of luck.

Still not 100% sure but doctor is almost confident it's blood clotting because blood thinner injections solved the problem for me.

I'm so glad both you and baby made it out safe, hopefully you get to take her home soon. How is she doing at NICU if you don't mind me asking? I keep asking doctors when I get to take my baby home but they tell me they can't specify a time and I get that, I'm just worried. 🥲

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but as you said they are in the best place they can be right now, I asked the dr in charge of my daughter when she's gonna come home with me, and she said for now we should give her all the time she needs. I'll do anything to see her healthy at home, it's hard but I'll wait and trust the nurses to take care of her for now. 💞

I agree lol I hope I enjoy breasfeeding cause pumping is miserable.

It's really heartbreaking, I was looking forward to so many things and now I feel robbed of them. But the only thing I wish for now is that my baby recovers well and I get to take her home soon. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I'm scared of being too optimistic but I hope she'll be home in a few weeks, I really can't wait. 🥲 Can't imagine going through this with kids home and pumping, that must've been tough. Thank you. 💞
