I’ve been fortunate that I’ve gotten a lot of colostrum. I nursed the first day but have been strictly pumping and bottle feeding and use formula at night but breast milk for the day. It’s been working well for me. Have been using a heating pad and taking hot showers. I pump every about 3-4 hours. I might get judgement on this but I’ve been vaping for the last 3 weeks and I want to make sure the milk is safe for baby so I only vape immediately after pumping and then start my timer to make sure there’s no nicotine in my breast milk. It’s what the nurse suggested anyhow if I was to continue to vape. I tried quitting but have been finding it hard to. I’m not sure why I started back up in the first place but here we are. Anyhow I feel my milk coming in and the colostrum is starting to lighten a bit and boobs are getting hard. Anything to make this easier and less painful that I’m not already doing?? I massage my boobs often while pumping. Thanks for any advice 🙂
