Hi ladies! I'm new here 👋 just had a baby girl, Joy on 9/22. So she is about 10 days old. I am desiring to breastfeed exclusively, but I also pump to give my husband a chance to feed her in the midnight hours and give my nipples a break! 😃


Any and all recommendations Are welcome!

    What's the longest anyone has been able to exclusively give pumped breastmilk to their twins?


    I'm currently 13.5mpp pumping 5x per day and pumping around 33.5oz a day with a freezer stash of 220. I'm scared of the day i wont make enough. My boys drink 16oz each so 32oz total.


    I don't know why I don't wnat to give them cows milk yet, because they have had whole milk yogurt and cheese. But I really want to save my freezer stash for the tail end so I can use it to extend my journey on a bag or half a bag each per day. I have enough frozen for 6ish days if I used it exclusively so that's not my plan at this point.

    Hey.👋🏾 Anyone with a one boob that goes crazy bc it's confused whether it's pump time or breastfeeding time? My right boob is that child when you are uncertain exactly what you'll get. 😭😂 Sometimes it appears empty and then with a simple one suck it's spouting milk in baby's face, baby's eye, on the bed, everywhere... Another time it doesn't make much milk even when I pay attention to it and spend extra time pumping it. And yet another time you pump it and it seems like the milk is hard to get out of it even on different pump modes and with with freshly changed duck bills and parts. (I have Spectra Gold for reference.)


    The question I have is what is the alternative to pinching the nipple ( to keep in the milk) while I'm feeding baby on the left bubs and the right bubs decides to…

    Last night I went to bed at 8:30 and I pump at midnight and 6am. So I remember waking up and midnight and being so tired I almost just went back to bed. I ended up pushing through and pumping. But man am I tired this morning.

    Seeing my supply decrease is so hard :( but I can't wait to see my total expressed milk over time when I am completely done.
