I combine breastfeeding and pumping because I need freedom. By pumping I can share feeding responsabilities and get more done, and REST.

[@NewLittleLife]

Love it 💙

[@francoral]

I wish I had this information in my hands eleven years ago with my second child. The stress of going back to work after only six weeks and everyone saying I had to have this HUGE supply took a enormous toll in my physical and mental health. Thank you for saying is ok.

[@NewLittleLife]

I hear this all too often... Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story here. It's so much more common than you think!

[@gofishing9089]

OMG I need this lady in my life. Her video helps me to be confident in myself, not to worry about my supply and enjoy my breastfeeding/pumping journey ❤

[@jillianwalker22]

Love your videos!! It is rare to find a breastfeeding / pumping channel with both quality expert advice *and* high video quality. Thanks for your help!

[@ChickenPermission617]

Thanks for the info and referencing other videos! I’m a new SAHM, and I found these to be helpful for me as well! Sent to my working mom friend too!

[@totesmegoatscrystal9688]

A little more freedom to get things done since she cluster eats at times. I also dont feel comfortable nursing in public, so for when we are out or company i dont want to nurse infront of. There are only a few people i dont mind seeing my breast. And to make night time feeding go a little faster so i can get more sleep and hubby can also feed her too.

[@sarahnaithammou]

I'm basically a just-enougher, and I love it. To me, it means my body is responding to my baby exactly how it should. I have a friend who produced so much, she needed to pump every two hours exactly (and would wake in the night to do so), or she would be majorly engorged. Paired with that, her baby had such bad lip and tongue ties, he could not latch, so she was pumping every two hours, getting tons of milk each time (much more than necessary), and spending extra time feeding. I felt so bad for her: she was barely sleeping.

[@NewLittleLife]

I love this perspective… thank you for sharing!!

[@mobmo87]

😢so sad that I didn’t see this video sooner and get your help. The anxiety of going back to work as a first time mom has put a damper on my whole journey and experience as a new mother. The key point you made was getting advice from non pumping lactation specialists. I decided to give up on Mother’s Day and have an overwhelming feeling of guilt, shame and true grief over the loss of the experience I thought I would have.

[@NewLittleLife]

I’m so sorry you’re experience wasn’t what you had hoped. You’re a great mother, no matter how you choose to feed your baby though 💙bring a working mom is so hard!

[@NewLittleLife]

Don’t quit pumping because you can’t find the right support!!!!! bit.ly/3ZPLIWp

[@sindhujarao4222]

I am not able to combine pumping and breastfeeding. Was able to pump milk better few days ago but since 2 days i am not. Breastfeeding is going well but pumping is not. So should i stop pumping? My baby is 4 weeks old now. My goal is to pump to get some rest

[@RavenRose88]

I think my schedule will be bf exclusively but pumping at the unoccupied breast to catch the letdown. Your channel helped! Thanks!!

[@tracy3418]

Haaka works well for that

[@gabbywhit]

My baby isn’t eating well at the breast and I’m only pumping about 15oz a day. He eat 18-24oz a day☹️

[@janimaritz3869]

Hi thanks for the great video, i pump occasionally due to excess milk and sometimes baby does not drink both sides in all sessions so at this point thats why i pump to avoid getting engorged. I am not sure i am following the right steps here and if this can effect my milk supply

[@lizzyxx502]

Me too

[@lisagiannoumis3816]

Isn't just enough the goal? If you have an oversupply it can be uncomfortable and cause mastitis and other physical problems. I think I'm making maybe a tad more than I need, using it to build a supply for going back to work. I'm happy with that 🤷

[@NewLittleLife]

Just enough is a great goal! I see many wishing for more but it does come with some of the things you mentioned. Hoping to normalize a more realistic expectation 💕

[@Shay2020.]

Hi! Do you have any experience working with moms who have breast inplants OVER the muscle. And lollipop lift? It it still possible?

[@NewLittleLife]

It is possible, but depends a lot on what ducts we’re cut and how they healed during surgery. Everyone is different in what they can do after a surgery like this. No reason not to give it a go if you want to though!

[@lexxikostick7348]

I recently just got sick for about a week and it tanked my milk supply I am 6 months postpartum and it hasn’t come back since. Is there hope it’ll come back? The help I have gotten isn’t much help from lactation consultants they said pump in between and after your breastfeeds. But I’ve always done that. But to no prevail it hasn’t come back :( I know he isn’t getting enough because his weight stopped increasing all together and he lost a few ounces

[@serenitydismuke7594]

My issue is I have milk all day than at night it’s like my milk dries up. My baby is only 3 weeks old. I was pumping and feeding and had so much milk than somehow I stopped pumping and began exclusively nursing so I’m just confused as to what’s going on overall. I think I’m just tired and it’s affecting my milk supply

[@Mrs.SeriousAboutMeals]

I think it’s great to being an enougher, I’ve combine breast feeding and pumping.

[@risabug7772]

I wish I had watched your videos with my first baby. I had PPD and anxiety on top of family stressing me out. I tried to latch my daughter every time but she would get mad bc the flow wasn't fast enough. Then I would end up pumping. I got so overwhelmed 😢 my supply diminished to drops by 10 weeks. I was so frustrated. What do you recommend?

[@shellybelle6781]

What did you end up Doing?

[@Savage076G]

Is it ok to pump one breast while baby feeds on the other? With the pump settings on low. And stop when baby stops her feeding. Because of pain and bleeding to one side. I don’t want to create an oversupply I just want to empty a little bit for comfort. Since it’s very painful the whole time she feeds on that breast.

[@NewLittleLife]

That sounds like a great way to maintain your supply while your breast heals.

[@Savage076G]

Thank you so much for the response!

[@sansar394]

Is it necessary to pump after breastfeeding, if baby empties the breast?

[@danielleworbts4803]

6 week post portum en was pumping most of the time because baby don't latch good and it's hurts me but I'm working on live breastfeeding again but my milk supply is not enough with pumping I'm only having 500 ml a day it's my fourth baby and I just want a success breastfeeding journey this time need advice

[@Jams90.]

Hi. Thank you so much for this video-I love it. Can you elaborate on what you mean by combining breastfeeding and pumping? Are you saying that Moms should either pump or breastfeed exclusively or that Moms should not pump after they breastfeed the baby (double work)? I mainly pump every 2.5 hrs but sometimes I’ll breastfeed my baby because I want to get the bonding experience and when I do breastfeed, I do not pump for that session but instead I’ll pump again in 1.5-2hrs to make sure I empty out my breasts. Then 2.5 hrs after that, I’ll pump again. Would you mind giving me your opinion on my routine? Thank you again!

[@NewLittleLife]

We see a combination of the two in so many various ways! All are great options, but for each mother/baby it looks different based on their supply, baby’s feeding skills, and their goals. If both breastfeeding and pumping are efficient and effective than your schedule seems good at first glance, but there are so many other factors that go into long term success.

[@tanzeelshaikh628]

Hi. Do I have to clean my breast before pumping because i am pumping after nursing.

[@NewLittleLife]

Good question! No need to clean the breast unless you need to wipe off some ointment or something.

[@tanzeelshaikh628]

Hello, 1) If I thaw milk in warm water is it still good for 24 hours? 2) should I put back in the fridge or leave outside of the fridge the leftover milk which I want to use within 2hours for next feed?

[@Lauren-se5bu]

How do you exclusively breastfeed and go out in public? I don't want to breastfeed in public but also don't want to resort to formula. If I pump between breastfeeding sessions it's not enough milk output.

[@yahlovesus]

Just gave birth 3 days ago and I have WAY too much milk. Day 3 and baby is now having problems latching because she keeps crying. 😢 so I had to pump because I'm engorged. Idk where all the milk came from.. 😕 I pumped 3 minutes and got 2.5oz. I'm nervous it's too much! 😓

[@shellybelle6781]

Just keep pumping and getting your supply

[@iqragilani5582]

Hey pls, comment on Tommie Tippie Electric Breast Pump..Is that a good pump?

[@safa5033]

Get a Spectra, even the cheapest Spectra is better than all these others, I wish I would have spent the same amount on that instead of my Philips Avent double pump.

[@salma_Nella22]

@@safa5033 the spectra 1 specifically, it’s the portable version!

[@cookwithme1698]

So there is need to pump while breastfeeding ?

[@NewLittleLife]

Not unless you need or want to 🤷🏼‍♀️ breastfeeding is designed to work! It doesn’t always work smoothly, but often it sure can.

[@cookwithme1698]

@@NewLittleLife thank you yes that make sense, I’m a first time mom with a newborn and I feed my baby almost all the time and I pump when we need to go out only and I don’t get much from pumping (2oz) not sure if I’m not doing right or I don’t do it long enough and I think when I’m ready to go back to work I will pump fresh milk every day or will see. Thank you for the helpful videos.

[@rearksstyles1913]

Im pumping because my baby wont latch due to my inverted nipples. He is 1 mo.

[@umiluv]

Same.

[@janelleroyer3395]

I always taught u must breastfeed and pump to get super empty during every session.

[@NewLittleLife]

People have fed babies only at the breast with no pumps since the beginning of time! A pump is a great tool when breastfeeding is ineffective or is unavailable to the baby, whether by necessity or choice. A baby is designed to establish and maintain a milk supply by itself if things are going as expected. Does that make sense? Sometimes a pump is needed, but in theory, it is not necessary.

[@mkOsBoyd]

What would you say is a good pumping schedule?

[@NewLittleLife]

It depends so much on your current milk supply, your breastmilk storage capacity, your goals, and how effectively you are emptying your breasts (via baby or pump).

[@moureenmwakipesile6386]

My baby does not feed on my breast for long🥹🥹i am worried on how she is spiting milk🥲🥲🥲

[@sansar394]

Is it necessary to pump after breastfeeding, if baby empties the breast?

[@NewLittleLife]

Nope! If baby’s doing great eating and managing the milk supply, no need to pump 👍🏼
