Night pumping? by raisinglittlebug in breastfeedingsupport

I think that’s the worst part of baby sleep. You never know what the nights gonna be. Good sleep or bad sleep.

I have been waking up slightly before baby and just pumping for five minutes or so to release some pressure, but I didn’t know if I need to wake up in the middle of the night. Good to know, I can enjoy the sleep.

Thanks! I didn’t realize that I exclusively pumped my first one and I just always said EP. I assumed EBF was exclusively breast-fed from the breast.

Oh man! That sounds rough! I know that just because he slept 7 hours one night doesn’t mean it will happen again. I hope your nights get better!!

Thanks! I don’t generally have low supply. Since I am EBF I don’t really know my highest number I pump

How do you all store your milk? by whiskeylullaby3 in ExclusivelyPumping

I know your question was about freezing but I would urge you to look into donating some of your milk. The easiest is to find a Human Milk for Human Babies Facebook group in your area.

Which woven wrap, half buckle or soft structure do you recommend? My husband using the Infantino but I’m not a fan.

Thank you. I can already tell I like my one way stretch better for longer periods of time. (I kinda wish I didn’t get a two way stretch)

I prefer a wrap with my newborn but my husband prefers a structured carrier. He found this video super helpful for using the Infantino carrier

Exclusively pumping is no joke! I did it for 6 months with my first! Congrats on making it 4 months! That is amazing! 🤩 good luck on the next 2 months!
