Your disclaimer at 12:03 is what I needed to hear 💛 my supply has tanked and little man hasn’t been gaining weight and I have been feeling so guilty and like I’ve failed him for not being able to give him ONLY my milk. ☺️

[@WonderfullyAle]

I think it was really to mention that, because, I too felt like that with my first! I felt like I had failed because I “formula fed” but he’s 7 now and he’s great! I think we’re all so hard on ourselves for no reason!! You’re doing amazing!!

[@julieschmidtlaw]

You’re doing an amazing job Becca, you have definitely not failed your son but are giving him or her lots of good nutrition and love 😊

[@elmizmir]

When I was pregnant, one of my friends told me that breastfeeding would be the hardest, and it is very true! My baby is only 2 months old, and I have never been able to feed him exclusively with breastfeeding. Trying really, really hard (medication, supplements, drinking tons of water, eating healthy, daily walks etc.) and have been feeling like I have failed him too 😢

[@katieohh6456]

I pumped for 12months with my son and now I’m on month 5 with my daughter. I get about 14-16 ounces each session!!! I went from pumping every 2 hours to 3 hours to 4 hours and now I’m at every 5 hours. I set alarms on my phone and still wake up for my 230am session. Things I do is take my prenatals everyday, drink lots of water, add extra fat to my diet and pump for 25min-35min. I to have an over supply and I’ve already donated 3,600 ounces to the mothers milk bank of Ohio. One of my biggest accomplishments ❤

[@saimouni299]

Please tell me some tips

[@katieohh6456]

@@saimouni299 biggest tip is empty your breast frequently. The more you pump the higher your milk supply. Your sending signals to your brain that you need more milk! If your supply is low consider adding 1-2 more sessions a day. Nighttime pump sessions suck but you should be waking to pump even if your baby is sleeping through the night. Do not go on any crazy diets this will also reduce your supply. Moderate exercise is ok! They make lactation cookies, brownies and drinks that you can find on Amazon, target or Walmart. You can find recipes online if you prefer to make them and save money. That always gave me an extra boost when I needed it. Stay hydrated and make sure you are eating to make up for the extra calories being burned from pumping. I hope this helps you!!! ♥️

My supply tanked at 2 months. It took awhile to get it back. I power pumped several times a day for 2 weeks and it finally came back. Not going to lie, you question yourself if it’s worth it. I felt like I was going to go crazy. But…now I have a freezer stash and a 25 lb baby at 7 months lol.

THANK YOU! Really appriciate you showing us the real routine and the bad with the good, as we can all relate to imperfection and it is encouraging to know you are not alone!

[@kristinchappell6677]

Thank you so much for your disclaimer! It really means a lot that you know and said that, because I have struggled ever since I gave birth 6 weeks ago. I tried to breastfeed, but my baby's latch was so bad I was cracked and bleeding, and there were so many tears. I started pumping at 2 weeks, and my supply was so low I was supplementing formula a large majority of the day, and was so discouraged thinking I was failing my kid. I have since started a good routine, and my supply is up, and I think I'm at the point I have more supply than he is demanding, and haven't had to give formula in a while. But it is still good to hear you say that it doesn't matter how the baby is fed, as long as they are fed.

[@WonderfullyAle]

You got this!!

[@sakura_jerayasama106]

Hi momma! Any tips on how you increased your milk supply?

[@kristinchappell6677]

@Sakura_Jerayasama I made sure I had a regular and consistent pumping schedule, started eating enough calories (I don’t think I was initially eating enough to support breastfeeding), drinking a lot more water, and adding more oatmeal to my diet for a while, since it's supposed to help with milk production (by adding oatmeal, I mean I made lots of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to snack on at all hours of the day, no joke 😅).

[@sakura_jerayasama106]

Wow! Thank you for this. I waa putting off eating oatmeal since I really don't like the texture but at this point I'm really down to try to eat and/or drink anything to up my milk supply. I'm currently 5 weeks pp and my total oz per session is only about 2 oz combined. So I'm honestly desperate at this point. May I ask what week did your milk supply increase?

[@kristinchappell6677]

@Sakura_Jerayasama I started pumping exclusively at 2 weeks, and it increased within 2-4 weeks (I can't remember exactly when, that period was honestly a blur lol).

[@beyzadamburaci2390]

I gave birth one month ago and had to pump because my baby was born prematurely. She didn't have enough energy to suck enough milk so she lost weight, with pumping I could at least give it with the bottle. I only pump 12 to 13 ounces (in total) even though i pump 10 times a day! I really didn't understand why as I really did my best, i had to supplement with formula. I now started nursing and pump a few times a day but when i pump i still only pump about 1 ounce every session. It's really discouraging when i see other moms with such a great supply and i can't even pump a few ounces per session. My record was 3 ounces in one session but only once or twice. I want to start a little stash for when I'm not at home but I barely complete a bottle for the night for my husband to give it to her.

[@beyzadamburaci2390]

I got courage when she gained some weight, so I talked with my lactation specialist and she said that it is time to leave the formula and start nursing exclusively which is what i wanted to do. It was a test, and after a week she was stronger and could suck herself, and now she is a 25 pound baby! She grew very fast with mother milk, and she is healthy! It is very frustrating I know, i cried, got angry, felt guilty i couldnt provide enough but at last.. everything worked out fine :)

I was making as much as this person before then. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Nothing I've done has improved it to even half of what I had before.

[@kaylabbones3281]

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Elvie pump and I heard nothing but positive reviews about momcozy pump. The elvie pump is $500 something and I’ve been hearing it’s really sensitive like if you accidentally don’t put the parts in correctly it’s not going to work, than I’ve came in contact with some mammas that said one pump went out after just having it for like 2-3 months like it’s not responding to charging or just not working at all period. So I went and got momcozy first baby and having a girl beyond excited thank you for your tips girly!!

Game changer with the flange in the bag dealio! Glad I came across your page:)I got the freemie cups and take those on the go with my motif (any battery powered pump can work!) Much cheaper ;) $60 brand new! I got mine donated for free tho and just sterilized them. I hear that's not recommended but let's be real... most of us moms who pump are cleanly people. Some moms try it once, misplace the receipt and can't return it. So:) And it's been a game changer for me I don't have to stress if I go out. I just bring my backpack and can pump wherever I go! Anyways awesome video girl. Appreciate your honest approach!

When you were pumping every 2-3 hours, how did you go out? Or for the first 12 weeks, did you stay at home all the time? Also, did you worry that your milk wouldn’t change according to baby’s needs (apparently baby saliva on nipple sends signals that changes mums milk accordingly, like if baby is feeling ill, mum milk changes to send more antibodies into milk)?

[@WonderfullyAle]

The first few weeks I stayed home as much as possible, but if I went out, I took a portable pump with me. Not at all, milk comes with demand too. So by stimulating and also lots of skin to skin helped

If he feeds about every 2-3 hours, I'd try at the 2 hour mark to see if he'd do it). Look up the football hold for breastfeeding. My baby liked that one.

I'm currently 3.5 weeks postpartum and trying to figure out pumping. We may move to exclusively pumping, so your video is really helpful as we figure that out!

[@WildBison74]

No definitely not! For me the Elvie did not even come close to the amount I pumped with the spectra. I would pump 3 times the amount with the spectra. It also doesn’t hold as much. So if you produce a lot, you’d have to take it off and empty it and then start again.

[@jeniparce]

@@aparis7654 ☹️ how is it going? There are several videos on YT here with women that talk about relactating after they stopped breastfeeding entirely for months! It’s possible! That’s actually what gave me the confidence boost I needed to get on top of it a little more with pumping schedule. Because I never stopped breastfeeding just slacked off like you mentioned also and felt like I couldn’t keep up with my little guy’s demand. My little one isn’t taking my boob as much anymore and I’m already missing it 🙁although the upside is being able to see exactly how much he consumes in a bottle whether it be formula or breast milk. I feared my supply had gone down in month 3 but I started power pumping a few days this week and already see an increase! Around 11pm i reserve an hour and do as follows: 11-11:20 pump 11:20-11:30 break 11:30-11:40 pump 11:40-11:50 break 11:50-12am pump All done! Just doing this three days helped a lot! And of course you can pick whatever hour is most convenient for you I just found that a lot of my milk supply Increases later at night and wanted to capitalize on that. How’s your water intake? Another factor that really helps me is lots of water. Since breast milk is 90% water, I try to stay hydrated (it can be tough to remember but I try!) I also know some women swear by lactation cookies or brownies. They didn’t do anything for me but they may for you?

You need to drink at least a gallon a day, if not more (since a lot of it is being used to help your milk), as you need the water to stay hydrated too.. and good way to supplement is eating foods Hugh in water as well (cucumbers, celery, melons [in moderation], etc.). And some kind of electrolyte drink, Gatorade etc but I’ve heard great things about body armour!

[@shundinedinehdeal8003]

I ain’t looking forward to pumping at night again… just got done breastfeeding my two year old who just got off the breast… this time it is going to be hard with four kids, maternity leave, my oldest going to school,and returning to work that has me constantly moving (personal shopper for online groceries)… getting on a set schedule will be hard with everything else to do… I don’t know how I will do it but I just purchased my cordless breast pump… hopefully it does the job I am giving it… still have to buy home pump or if I might need more suction to get my milk out… /-\ feels like I’m not ready…

[@alliehusky5138]

OMG, that pump app is amazing! I’ve been looking for something like that for weeks! I’m a first time mom and my son is 7 weeks old, I’ve been trying to bottle feed him the pumped milk and I could not for the life of me track what I pump. Thank you!!! Is there similar app for diaper track? Just wondering..

[@rishka9083]

Sometimes I pump alot and sometimes i dont. I cant produce alot of milk in the morning. My baby is 3 months. Is it too late for me to produce alot of milk like u??

Hi dear , How much time do you pump in each session

[@dimemami24]

I wish 17 oz, but only make 2oz and baby girl is 3 months old😢

[@LERodriguez1221]

I struggled with pumping and would have a lot of clogged milk ducts. Have you ever had clogged ducts or mastitis? and if you did what did do to help relieve it.

[@jiaqifang6338]

for clogged ducts, check out the haakaa and epsom salt trick

Do we have to wash and sanitize pump after every use?

[@MariahAlvarado-k3e]

Thank you so much for this. I have been breastfeeding on and off and not constantly so I gave up on breastfeeding and just started to pump. I will be honest I have not been consistent with pumping. I've now hit 2 months and my milk is almost gone. Does it ever come back or once it's gone is it gone? Thank you!

[@annacanta5659]

Do you use any stretch mark creams/oils? Has that helped you at all?

[@msrose913]

Thank you for your video I know you made this 2 years ago but I had a question with your elvie pump compared to the pump you use at home the spectra do you realize a difference in what you get? Is one pump stronger than the other pump? Thank you so much in advance.

[@WildBison74]

Yes! I have the spectra and the Elvie. I thought I would use my elvie all of the time. I don’t! I make 3 times more with my spectra than my elvie. I would feel bad using my elvie because I would know that using my spectra would have better results. So I don’t even use it anymore. $500 down the drain. Yikes lol.

[@humanitylovepeaceindian4675]

Can someone suggest me how should I get more milk. I hardly get 60-90ml. And my baby do not drink my milk directly. I have to pump and give him.

On the real, was robbed and have been living in poverty and had a hard time sustaining and also my child needed to be in NICU her first month of her life and she was mostly away from me on respirator... I suffer from very low amounts.i have only been getting 20 oz a day even if if pump every two hours :( so I be popping vitamins. It limits me from going out so I'd really like to know if someone has the link for the LB pump in your video. Please and thank you. It would help me be able to go out with my daughter more.

Idk what’s wrong with me 😭 my baby is 5 months old & The MOST I can pump is 2.5 oz on my left & .5 oz on my right 😭😭😭

[@michelleguzman6025]

You produce more than me. My daughter will be 3 months on the 15th and the most I pump is 2 and that's not all the time. Most of the time for sure I will pump 1 oz every 2 hours.

[@diivya20]

@@michelleguzman6025 me too… no matter how many supplements i eat or how many pump sesh i add. I only make max of 2oz milk per sesh. I wonder if it’s anything to do with breast size too. Maybe my breasts are too small to store more milk. 😞

No girl ur boobs sizes are not the problem I’m a D size and I hardly get 3 oz each session is very frustrated my baby is 10 days old and she is on top of it , if she is not eating I’m pumping all the time I’m getting very irritated 😟 and frustrated too !!!!!

Hi. Thanks for sharing. I also am an exclusive pumper. She is now 8 months. I start to wean cause I have allergy to red meat and dairy ptoducts and eggs mean that I have firm breast few hours after eat so I got weak and I elongate my intervals from 3 to 5 but I have worse cloggs or as bad as when I eat meat milk egg. What should I do for starting to wean (I have tried any massage SF lecithin, advil....). The diet limitation is a must

[@theresawilliams5095]

I'm a new mom. My baby is in NICU. I can only pumped max 1 - 2 oz per 45 mins per breast. I do take supplements and tea that supposed to helped with breast milk. Dont know why but i pumped every 3 hours and sometimes i worried i dont make enough. For whole 24 hours my max flow is 6.5 oz.

[@beyzadamburaci2390]

Can i ask how it is going for you now? Has your supply gone up since you commented? Because my baby was born a bit prematurely as well and had slight jaundice, so she didn't have the energy to suck and my milk wasn't enough for her to gain weight so i needed to pump. My total a day is only 10 ounces after 10 pump sessions (every 2 or so hours). She is now 1 month old but i still pump 1-2 ounces every session.

You are not a failure. I felt like a failure with my first because I couldn’t breastfeed AT ALL. Then with my second and third, I couldn’t get them to latch. Motherhood and feeding our children looks different for everyone. You’re doing great!
