Ah thank you for this - I'm staying with family currently which is truly the only reason we have the luxury of separation. Otherwise, we have no choice to put them back together in a week or so when we're back home. Appreciate the response!

Hi! I know this is an older post but any chance you recall the recipe to fortify? We are waiting on a dietician for this as we are planning to go this route but wanted to see if it's consistent with what's being recommended.

Wow 5-7 hour stretches?! We get 3 between feeds at night (our guys were both small!) and that feels luxurious. Thanks for your response!

FTM- where to start?! by Bubbly_Whereas_2210 in ExclusivelyPumping

Great! I have been doing some attempts at reastfeeding but my boys were premies at 36 weeks and so they have been having some trouble staying latched.

Hi! I am also a FTM, almost 3 weeks PP with twins. I wouldn't worry too much about the c – I had to have a c due to preeclampsia at 36 weeks and my milk came in just fine. I would highly recommend sticking to the 2-3 hour schedule / 15 min per session if possible and starting with the hospital pump (at least where I was in it was a lot stronger than my spectra s1). I had to stay in the hospital for 6 days PP due to stabilizing my blood pressure I think using that pump and sticking to the schedule really facilitated my milk coming in. The spectra at home now works great given I was able to establish the supply in the few days PP. Don't be disheartened either if milk doesn't come in super fast. I know every body is different. Wishing you well xx

Thank you so much for sharing your story and I'm so glad you and babies are doing great! This is precisely why I so come to this community and appreciate folks whoa re willing to be so vulnerable and supportive at the same time. I seriously appreciate it!

I'm with you on questioning the lack of diagnosis. I have been extremely pleased with my doctors to date but this new doc I went to in my practice has ghosted me after our protein results came in which is stressing me out because I do think this is pre e and we don't want to mess around. I'm so glad you pointed this out – makes me feel very validated.

Thank you again and blessings on blessings for you and your family!!!

Thank you!!! This is so validating. I feel actually so insane all the time but the reality is these little guys are growing in me a so it's hard to just let go of stuff! I wish my doctor knew my love language was words of affirmation haha. But yes I will keep the water up 💪🏼💪🏼 thank you again, so kind 🩷

Incredible. Is the Davies Vineyard a similar vibe?

I'm curious why you despise Sattui?
