That's insane!! When i was bf'ing DD it would take me and entire say of pumping sessions to fill ONE 6 oz bottle!!! I hope it works better for me this time around.
Are you f-ing KIDDING ME?!?! ARGH! What I wouldn't give to have that problem! I pump every three hours while I'm at work and I get a whopping 2 ounces per side AT MAX! It's beyond frustrating.
This! I want to know what pump you use, what you eat, what you drink, how much you sleep, etc!!!!
pump: medela PISA
i eat *everything* ... just like while pregnant lol but thinking about it, i do eat alot of dairy, pastas and dark chocolate. not for any reason, thats just what i like. oh, and im a vegetarian.
i drink about 60oz of water every day (i have a BIG water bottle) coffee in the AM, one soda a day, and a lot, a lot, a lot of milk. i love milk! i get at *lease* 3-4 glasses a day.
sleep is usually from 10pm-6 30am, with maybe one pumping in the night if im not too tired
honestly, i just pumped like it was my religion in the beginning cuz DS wasnt latching good and i didnt have the patience to work on BF. i just wanted him to have the milk. 2 hours round the clock for the first 2 months (even nights) and then 3 hours (nights too) until 3 1/2 months and then every 3 hours (only once at night) until 4 months and then 4 hours (once at night) until 5 months, now every 5 hours, maybe once at night at 6 months. my pump is my baby LOL
Don't you feel overwhelmed with milk sometimes? I have it falling out of the freezer at times.
yes! I was just saying this the other day to dh.....it's great to have the milk for DD, but i have almost filled the deep freeze! i'm not complaining though... I pumped non-stop for 4 weeks and it's been a great supply since then. I worry that by saying that I'll jinx myself, but so far, so good! just got done pumping and will hopefully be able to sleep until at least 4 before becoming painfully engorged. Night, all!
Re: i dont mean to brag...
