EPing ?

Do you pump every time your babies eat?  Mine eat 7X/day, but often during the day, they'll eat every 2 hrs, so I only get about 50ml per breast.  I'm wondering if I skipped one session, if I'd get 100ml?  I'm barely keeping up w/ them so I don't want to harm my supply.

 

Thanks!

Try some vitamins that help you produce more milk! I think one is called fenugreek? Just pop into your chemist and they will hook you up and they really do work! I think there's also something you can drink as well maybe cranberry?? Just google trying to

tough it out in the beginning and do 6 or more pumps a day.  not less than 6!!!!!!!!! (according to the LC's at the hospital)

I wish I was a little more diligent in the beginning, I think I would have had a super- supply.  you will

My LCs told me to shoot for 8 pumping sessions/day.  I've found that if I skip a session, I don't get "double" during the next one.  Also, my boobs usually really hurt if I completely miss one.

my babies are 15 weeks so i might try it, but not go fewer than 6 sessions/day.
