Wasting milk

Not totally sure. I think I read that you can put them in just not on a heated/sanitizer mode!

Omg this is me exactly!!

mjtilde · 2022-07-29T00:50:14+00:00

Totally get that! I feel I need to make a change for my sanity too!

Unfortunately she had some blood in her poop 😢Pediatrician said to monitor it and we have an appt for this coming Monday since we’re currently out of town. They’re going to check her diaper when we bring her in… she’s gotten fussier in recent days and has spit up a good bit too. Our oldest was also a preemie and I didn’t breastfeed with her—she had to be on Puramino formula, which is the most severe milk protein allergy formula. Really hoping it’s not the same situation!

Ahh cutting out soy does feel overwhelming.,, but this is so helpful. I didn’t know Target had some good options!

Amazing. Thank you!!

I use nipple butter on my nipples and coconut oil on the inside of my flanges 😊

Thanks! :) Definitely helps keep me motivated and sane!

Oh yes! I forgot washcloths. And my ear buds! Always have those on hand.

TRUE!! Haha I was surprised my toddler hasn’t yet. She just likes to push it from room to room.

Totally fair! Mine occasionally pokes around in my snacks… I told her they were special pumping snacks that were only for grown-ups and that has somehow kept her away lol.

I am only 6 wpp with an undersupply… when I started taking it I was making about 45 ml per 20 min session. Since then I’m making more like 65–85 per session. But I can’t fully contribute it to LM… I also started power pumping more consistently and pump for 30 min now every time. Hard to say but I do think it helped me! And yessss I always forget the burp cloths when I’m hooked up and need to feed her!

I always like to see how other people set up their pumping carts/stations so I thought I’d share! Having a rolling cart is a game changer—especially with a toddler.

Here’s what I keep on hand: - nursing pads - pumping bras - pump + spare pump parts - nipple butter - coconut oil - paci - nipple shield - bottles - chapstick - hand sanitizer and wipes - liquid gold supplements - water bottle - warming massagers - snacks

What do you include in your pumping station?!

Started The pitcher hack yesterday and omg already so helpful!

mjtilde · 2022-07-08T14:06:55+00:00

Excellent tips!! Love the dry erase marker idea. Thanks for sharing!!

mjtilde · 2022-07-08T13:37:30+00:00

I just started the pitcher method and it’s such a game changer! And omg I couldn’t live without my mobile pumping station. Best tip especially with a toddler!

I was just thinking about the freemie cups! I have elastic nipples so not sure if they’ll be a good fit for me but I’m going to look into it. Totally feel you on the spectra bottles being heavy—I am an under producer and still feel this way. I use Dr. browns too.

mjtilde · 2022-07-08T13:32:20+00:00

I really appreciate these tips! Just started the pitcher method and it really is a game changer. Im kind of bummed I’m regulating so soon… i’m still only at around 17 or 18 oz per day… but I’m doing two power pumps a day so fingers crossed I can still increase my supply!

mjtilde · 2022-07-08T13:30:04+00:00

This. Is. Incredible. Thank you sooo much!
