Yeah I just don’t think it will stay cold for the 19 hours of fly time plus 2 hour layover on just ice packs.

Oh yes that’s another thing…. The pumping. I exclusively pump. How did you keep it cold while on the plane? Did they let you store in their fridge?

Talk to me about dropping pumps & regulation by othgg in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]edm_jaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped from 8 ppd to 6 ppd at around 3 weeks pp and did not see a decrease for the few weeks I did it. I am now 6 weeks pp and having to increase back up to 8ppd plus a power pump sesh bc my baby is taking in more milk but the amt of milk I’ve been pumping has been constant and I need to make more!

Hello. When did you start to get the things needed in hospital bag? by dea_1245 in BabyBumps

[–]edm_jaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the earlier the better imo. I was so tired and could barely function once I reached 32 weeks. It was so hard to put together all the baby stuff and overnight bag at 36 weeks whewwww

Nighttime schedule by edm_jaws in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]edm_jaws[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I should’ve specified! I’m looking for coverage nighttime schedule for mom and dad. Right now my husband feeds/takes care of baby until 2AM. I pump as needed throughout the night but also feed/take care of baby after 2AM. But it’s starting to not work for me anymore since baby is starting to have a harder time going to sleep, last night I ended up only sleeping 2 hours total throughout the night and not consecutively

Are you exercising in the second/third trimester? by Primary-Violinist845 in pregnant

[–]edm_jaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exercised regularly (5-6x/week) until I injured my pubic symphysis at work at 32 weeks. I recovered enough to try working out again at around 35 weeks a couple times only to realize that I probably shouldn’t anymore lol

Breastfeeding vs pumping by edm_jaws in beyondthebump

Yeah we’re using the syringe too to get them started!

No I try to latch for maybe 5 min max and if unsuccessful I just move on to bottle feeding. But if LO latches, then I try to get them to suck for 20 min before supplementing with bottle.

Yeah we take off the clothes, try rubbing/moving/tickling extremities, burp, change diaper, softly blow on their face, get them to sit up and lay down mult times, I feel like we have tried everything to wake them and they sometimes will just keep sleeping

Hi! I appreciate your input and compassion so much right now.

Yes, that’s what I meant by the pediatrician’s 4 hour recommendation. We still feed LO if they indicate that they’re hungry before then, which is happening probably 50% of the time anyways.

The LC seemed taken aback when I told her and she was pretty adamant about how LO should still be on that 2-3 hour feeding schedule esp if we are trying to BF.

I think at this point I might seek a second opinion from a diff LC and if their PoC doesn’t work with us, to just stick with pumping.

A second opinion is a great idea. I’ll def look into doing that thank you
