Breastfeeding???

Question

This is my 3rd child and I plan on breastfeeding. This is my first time and I wonder is breastfeeding set on a schedule and do you have to have specific bottles to store the breast milk in?

Answer

Thanks everyone this information is so helpful. When you unthaw the milk how long till it gets war enough for baby

Answer

This is how id store with the bags it saves tons of room

Answer

I'd recommend learning manual expression and finding a local la leche league group and attending one of their meetings before baby is due.

Answer

And you can use any bottle you want. If you plan to pump and store up a freezer supply or to just have an emergency stash i would use milk bags and date them it helps save some room in the freezer . Medela had parts you can actually pump directly into the bags or if you want to store in bottles thats fine too

Answer

I always just fed my daughter any and every time she seemed hungry which was so so very often in the beginning.  Babies belly is so so tiny and breast milk is so perfect for them its digested so much easier and quickly so they need it so often dont think because baby just ate and nurses again you're not having enough milk for baby because you are its so normal for them to nurse what feels like non stop . I personally never followed a clock just her cues if she was sleeping the only time frame i watched was to wake her if its been more than 3/4hr mark i wouldn't let her go longer than that without nursing otherwise i was constantly nursing it helps to feed on demand to build a great supply of milk

Answer

The best way to keep your supply is feeding on demand. If your baby is hungry 3 times in an hour, feed the baby. There are bags and sterilized bottles that are recommended for breastmilk storage. :)
