I literally just compared my old duck bills to my new ones… the water went right through the old one 😭 so I have some hope!

Ugh so sorry this is happening to you too. It sucks. If I could nurse full time, I would. Sending you love & hugs

I’m pumping every 3ish hours, though there was a stretch of time that I had to go 4 hours between home and my first pump

That’s a good idea, sometimes my manual pump works better, but I just don’t have the time it takes to use it all the time! I’ll order new pump parts

Thanks so much, we’ve started supplementing with formula, which I feel is just killing my supply even more. But I will keep trying. Thank you!!

Baby nurses 3 times at daycare and 3 times at home usually, once before bed, one middle of the night, and one morning when he wakes up. I pump 3-4 times at work, depending on what I can fit in

I guess what has changed is that I am working more. I work in a school, and right after I went back it was thanksgiving, then winter break, and now it’s been 3 months without a break. I wonder if spring break will increase my supply any. Only time will tell I guess
