exclusively pumping?

Question

Any mamas exclusively pumping? Thinking of going this route but wanted to get some insight from other experienced mamas in this department..

Answer

I exclusively pumped the whole time witg.mt first and my second so far is EBF

Answer

I've been pumping since day 1. Honestly happened bc of my lo in the NICU and I'll EP for baby two as well :) My LO is 3 months and I pump 5-6 times a day. Just important not to miss pumps bc your supply drops. Stay hydrated helps too!

Answer

I exclusively pumped for a year. Some other things people didn't mention: keep hydrated and make sure to change out pump parts regularly, especially the valves (these honestly made the biggest difference in my supply).

Answer

I've been pumping for 2 weeks now. It's a lot of work! Between having to pump every 2-4 hours, to washing your pump parts all the time, to planning around your pumping times. I'm honesty happy I'm pumping, I tried putting the baby on the boob but we had issues so that is why I'm pumping.

Answer

Yep! I've been exclusively pumping for 6 weeks or so, baby is 7 weeks today. I pump every 3-4 hours. Biggest pieces of advice I can give ispump until  you are empty to make sure you get the hind milk. Get yourself a good pumping bra. Don't feel like you have to pump on full speed, a lower speed will get you just as much milk and cause less pain to your nipples. I was pumping on full speed and had sore nipples, now I pump on medium speed, no sore nipples and I get a second letdown now. I typically am able to pump anywhere from 9-11 ounces at a time.

Answer

I have exclusively pumped for almost 6 months bc my son wouldn't latch, I was getting 60-70ozs a day and that was pumping only 3 times a day. I have slowed down to once a day and am stopping bc not only is my deep freezer full but it took away a lot of time from my family and my baby, I'm pleased I will have gave my baby 8 months worth of breast milk, but am happy to get to spend more time with my toddler and baby.
