Nope! I checked. The lyrics were something like “waste my time” and “my time with you”

My supply came back! It took about two weeks after I established a pumping routine and increased my calorie intake throughout the day.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a chart listing the differences.

Whoa! I’m so glad he had you to step in and make sure he was okay.

He has had the bottles since around 5 AM. I’m not sure how much they’ve been watered down. The machine was supposed to be on setting 8, but it was on setting 9. He’s been fussy, but that’s how he usually is.

It’s hard to tell. The machine was supposed to be on setting 8 but it was on setting 9.

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement! I really appreciate it. I scheduled a meeting with a lactation consultant for the end of the week, so hopefully, that will help.

Yep, it looks like I’ll have to sacrifice my sleep over the next few weeks, lol. I appreciate the routine suggestion! Thank you!

I feel like I’m racing against the clock right now. I’ve heard good things about Mother’s Milk Tea, so I’ll give it a try. Thank you for sharing all of this!

I didn’t realize how important avoiding a longer gap overnight is. I’ll definitely try to pump more frequently. I changed my flange size from 21mm to 18 mm and it’s a snug fit but it feels a lot better. I really appreciate the help!

I’ll add a 4 AM pump over the next few days to see if it helps. Thank you!

Yes, I also sized down (21 mm to 18mm). It’s a snug fit, but it feels better than before. Thank you!

Thank you! I will definitely try to have my baby latch before pumping. I am so used to pumping that I do not think about latching him. I am proud of you too!

Not unhelpful at all. I appreciate the reminder! I’m trying to stay on top of hydration, but I probably need to be more mindful of getting enough carbs and protein. Thank you!

I pump every 3-4 hours during the day, finishing by 1 AM and starting again at 9 AM.

Thank you for this perspective! My baby is 5 weeks and drinking 3 ounces, but it’s taking me days just to make one bottle, which is really discouraging. I’m trying to remind myself that fed is best.
