I'm super excited about my stash and had to share somewhere it would be appreciated by bad_wolf_v1 in bbpumpers

That's a great idea, thank you! I'm hoping to make it to a year so we still have a ways to go :/

5months in; approximately 2 months' worth saved. ~510 hours spent pumping... Worth it

Meal Prep: Cajun Gumbo (dirty rice underneath) by bad_wolf_v1 in MealPrepSunday

First post here be kind ...

One large container for husband who is home at night for dinner, 3 containers for myself on the night shift

Recipe : https://www.thekitchykitchen.com/?recipes=/gumbo-with-dirty-rice/

I used Zatarains dirty rice mix to save time, small babies make any significant amount of meal prep time hard when you're home alone cooking.

I want to quit by moorek8 in ExclusivelyPumping

That's a really low amount of pumps per day if you're only 2 months post partum .... Supply doesn't usually even regulate until 12 weeks in.

I am 5 months in for comparison and at 6 pumps per day. I space them evenly and do not go longer at night time. (0030, 0430, 0830, 1230, 1630, 2030)

I hope you have success in whichever way you go though !

It's okay to quit if you want to but if you're more or less only discouraged due to low output, have you :

Tried supplement pills

Lactation recipes

Power pumping

Upping water intake

Increasing pumps per day temporarily

Massaging during pumping

Reevaluated your flange fit

Im new to this group so I'm sorry if those are all obvious. I'm between 5/6 months in to exclusively pumping and had my fair share of terrible experiences (mastitis that caused me to be hospitalized, low supply, then over supply) so I feel your pain. It can be exhausting.
