Pump while pregnant

Anyone pump while pregnant and maintain supply? I'm trying to keep feeding baby 1 while pregnant with baby 2!

Re: Pump while pregnant

  • No, I lost my supply and the pump didn't help. I made it to my goal of 12m for DD#3 which was 20 weeks Ku. Try reading Adventures in Tandem Breastfeeding. It is supposed to be very helpful!

  • I second the Adventures in Tandem Nursing vote. I managed to maintain supply for DD until 32 weeks (right around her first birthday), and I lost almost all milk at 36 weeks. DS was born at 37w1d, and I went on to tandem nurse. That said, I don't respond well to a pump, so I always have to breast feed. I'm 9.5 weeks with #3 and still nursing DS without problems.
