How to get a supply without getting mastitis?
This is baby 4 for me and I am an over producer so I have to be very careful about pumping since I’ve gotten mastitis before. So far I have about 300 ounces saved, but I’m trying to build up a 3 month supply so I can’t stop nursing around 9 months. I only pump once a day and get about 8 ounces, but I’d like to be able to pump more to build up my supply faster, but I’m scared of getting mastitis. My baby currently nurses about every 1-3 hours. I see pictures of people have thousands and thousands of ounces stored away, and I’m wondering how they pump so much without leading to mastitis? I pump both for 10-15 minutes. Any tips?
