Am I missing the Google doc?
I've had this problem before and I'm not sure why they disappear after so long but here's the link to it(: docs.google.com/document/d/1tYRjcroipX0llB96qGBw1_C9BUvfRLmUr61B1381w34/edit?usp=sharing
When I say I cried when you said it doesn't matter if it's 1ounce every drop counts!! Thank you so much
It's true momma!
This was SO helpful thank you for the tips! I never thought about lubing the flange, washing parts only at night (and putting in fridge) and pumping until empty rather than on a timer. Thank you😀❤
I'm happy to help momma!
I am 6 weeks pp and have been struggling with supply and motivation and just myself in general, but your vlogs are so helpful and so kind. Thank you for taking the time to make them, I know Momma time is precious!
Congrats momma and I hope your breastfeeding journey is going well! Thank you for the kind words and for watching(: I'm so happy they could help
I am a new subscriber. I love your videos! I was literally crying watching this video. I was so close to quitting today but I am not going to. Thank you for the motivation.
You don't know how much that means to me momma! I started my channel to try to encourage and provide more info to moms and I'm glad I could give that to you! Keep up the hard work , you're doing awesome!(:
Awesome video.. I have browsed multiple websites and articles for EXCLUSIVE pumping.. but your video was like a one stop shop... Bravo! Well done.. Amazing tips- esp. pump until empty was the key for me.
Aw thank you!! Happy to help!(:
Thank you for this! I needed some encouragement as a 2nd time EPmom. It's been 4 yrs since my first baby, but just bc I've done this before, my 2nd baby is completely different.
Thank you for watching! You got this momma!!(:
pumps are available to borrow from WIC. they call you monthly to see how pumping is going. the one I was given to borrow was the Medela Symphony, the exact same one as what I used in hospital
That's awesome!!
Alicia Molloy that's great. I asked my WIC office but they couldn't help me since I donated my old pump before the 5 years elapse
You’re so encouraging!! Thanks for this.
Happy to help!!
My main issue you addressed in this is my schedule. With Caleb in the NICU and dealing with insurance, family then nurses and just dealing w the NICU environment in general I REALLY slacked on my schedule. I knew I needed to pump every 2-3 hours but scheduling has been my biggest stumbling block personally. But now my schedlue is 8 AM-2 AM every 2 hours. As well as fitting in an extra 2 pump sessions when I can during that time frame. Plus trying to start my own business and keeping up with the house took some of my attention away from making a solid schedule. And yeah the first 12 weeks IS so damn hard. I've been discouraged and close to giving up several times. Especially with the misinformation I've recieved even from the hospital staff. There are so many mixed messages out there about supply and breastfeeding in general. Definitely agree on having a positive mindset. The spectra is such a pleasant feeling pump and I'm much more comfortable sensitivity wise than I ever felt with the Medela or Hygeia. Yeah and output of pumping moms has also been discouraging as well but I get that comparing yourself is also a mental thing. I shouldn't worry so much about getting my supply back.
Also I already got the Medela adapter saved to my pumping amazon list as I have spare Medela parts. Definitely a great thing to have an adapter and also have the S2 saved along with a spare kit of spectra parts including duckbills. I've got this covered hehe ;)
+Narc Goggles Sounds like you're on the ball momma!!
I'm in the process of relactation . This is very helpful
+Monique Sanhueza Glad it could help momma!
I really like ur outlook...it's comforting to know that we as mom's are doing our best for our kids.. I'm 5 weeks pp and make only 1 ounce during pumping..that too with the right boob as I don't get any thing on my left due to which I end up giving formula.. I feel really flustered when I see ppl getting almost 33 ounces a day ..I will continue to pump and hope I will be able to provide for my child and eliminate formula in the coming weeks
Supported & informed is best in my opinion. You’re doing your very best and an ounce is still an ounce of that liquid gold! Some women over produce, some under produce and some make just enough. Either way we need to support each other! Keep up the hard work momma!!💕
love the bbb group on face book :D
Your videos just made me feel better about myself as a mother. I was beating myself up because my baby amd I are having such trouble to latch and feed and it breaks my heart to not be able to give her the nutrition she deserves. My husband and I had decided to exclusively pump, and being a part of Hispanic communities where moms breastfeed exclusively for like 2 years, I felt judged and was my milk would go dry. Bring 2 weeks PP this literally me cry the whole night, didn't get any milk and just started getting super depressed. So your videos are shipper helpful, everyone's situation is different.
Thank you for you're videos 😭 i needed this.
Is it true your milk will dry up if you don't latch your baby anymore? 😢
If you have no underlying inhibitors and have a good pumping routine, you can successfully breastfeed! Your milk will not dry up. Many moms may find this to be the case because of all the misinformation about pumping out there. It's easy to not understand the requirements of exclusively pumping and the price is your milk supply unfortonately. That's why I made my videos. So mommas like you who made need guidance know exactly what you'll need to do and hopefully have the best odds at being successful! It is completely normal to grieve your nursing relationship but please do not let others tell you that determines your worth as a mother. Feeding our babies is obviously super important but it is not the only purpose to being a mother either. Keep your head up momma, you're doing your best!
im 5 weeks pp and pumping. thanks for repeating that the first 12 weeks are super important, im starting to go over the 3 hour mark.
Congrats on your new addition momma! Keep up the hard work!
Can you talk more about let downs? I'm trying to get a better understanding. How do you know when it Happens? I never got that tingly feeling. How or when do I change the setting on my pump for a second leg down?
I’m a silent viewer most of the time so I don’t comment much on anything. But I’ve started watching you since delivering my third baby 4 days ago and I’m so pleased with how informative and encouraging you are in every single video. I am exclusively pumping right now as my daughter is in the nicu (born 35 weeks) and it’s really hard because I’m only producing 1 ounce from both breasts every time I pump which is every three hours. I pump for 30 minutes each time and I’m wondering if I’m making enough milk for my baby. I drop off the milk every day at a certain time and can breastfeed her while I’m there so it makes me really paranoid that i might not be giving her what she needs. Do you have any advice on increasing milk supply in the first week and do you know if 1 ounce every pump session 4 days pp is normal or if it’s not enough? I formula fed both of my other children so this is new to me and I really want to stick to breastfeeding/pumping for at least 1 year. Thank you for all your informative and positive videos!
This video has been so helpful !
Happy to hear that!
Im so happy I found your vlogs!!!! Im 5 weeks pp
Thanks for watching & congrats!(:
This is very helpful my oldest is 4 and my new addition is 1week and three days. I am trying my hardest to exclusive pump but all I have is a manual single pump and my hands are killing me and I don't seem to be getting a lot what should I do I'm trying everything I can to get an electric one
Congrats! Check with your insurance company momma, they may cover an electric pump! Make sure you're emptying your breasts every 2-3 hours daily and 3-4 nightly. Keep up the hard work!(:
I’m 4 months pp. he doesn’t latch well cuz he has a tongue tie so I pump and supplement and have him latch when I can and he’s not frustrated. I pump 3-4 times a day only and get 1/2-2 oz only each time. I love all your tips and will up my pump time now every 2-3 hours. Thank you!!!
Happy to help momma!! Keep up the good work!
Hi mommy! Much love from Singapore and your videos are not only very informative, encouraging yet straightforward. Would love to ask a couple of questions, please.
1. Been EPing for almost 2 months now, 14 weeks pp. However, it seems like my supply has regulated by only producing enough (100-120ml) for my baby boy who is 3 months + now. Once supply has been regulated, can I still try to increase my milk supply?
2. My current flange is 24mm Medela PersonalFit with a nipple diameter of 15cm after pumping. However, with it, am almost touching both sides with probably 1-1.5mm on each sides. Im wondering if its the correct fit afterall?
3. Whenever I put on to pump, Id feel a slight prickly sensation over the areola instead of the nipple. Any idea why? And also the nipples gets super sensitive after a pumping sensation.
4. Is it advisable to wear handsfree bra on all day long?
5. Do you pump immediately after giving birth?
6. Im constantly pumping for 30mins or more during each of my pumping session, not only still I feel like the breast arent completely empty and sometimes theres like a 'clump' or 'clog', how do I address this issue? Sunflower lechitin?
7. For Medela Freestyle, can I interchange to the letdown mode again during the pumping session once the moment milk is not flowing? Reason being is that, I still feel full even almost reaching my 30 minutes usual mark. Or should I just keep going on expression mode instead till am empty?
Hope to hear from you soon! Take care and stay safe always!
Just had a 27 weeker. im just starting this journey again.
Oh man, congrats momma!! Sending love and hope it goes well💕
very helpful thank you!
+E Ro Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the tips! When you say you pump every 2-3 hours is that going from the time you started your last session or from after you finished?
Happy to help momma! And from when you finished last😊
So glad I found your channel! You mentioned how when you pumped 4 times a day you only pumped 1-2 oz, when you went back to pumping every 2-3 hours how much did your supply go up by?
Me too! I did have a natural oversupply with my daughter so please keep that in mind. Our bodies aren’t designed to over supply. The normal amount of milk to produce is exactly what baby needs. So while my numbers are higher it is completely normal to make only what baby eats in a day! I made this video years ago in reference to my journey with my oldest daughter who’s now 4.5 years old so I’m not 100% sure. I know it took weeks of consistently staying on track with my schedule and other things to see it even increase a little. But eventually I got back to over supplying and making around 40 oz per day. So maybe around 6-8 ounces every 3 hours.
Did you do 2-3 hours even through the night? I only am allowed 6 weeks maternity leave. I can't imagine doing that once going back to work.
+Tori R Yep, I did for the first 12 weeks. Then I dropped to twice a night. When you go back to work you could only do one MOTN pumps (:
Alia, when you pump until empty, can you stop pumping a single side if one boob empties faster then the other and just continue to empty the other one or will it cause problems in supply between the 2?
+Andrea Tackett Yep, you can stop pumping the one that empties faster. If it produces less than the other boob and that's the reason it empties faster you could continue to pump it while the other empties to try and even out supply though(:
momma alia- what pump do you use now and then and if u like one more then the other. im due in a week c section and i need to order my pump soon im having trouble betwwen the spectra and the medela. should i be looking into the ameda?
I'm using quite a few different ones at the moment. If you've never pumped before, I would suggest the Spectra S2 or S1(:
+Momma Alia thank u foranswering did u like ur medela one and did u ever get milk in the tubes and how long did it last u or do u still have/use it.....might go for the spectra s2
I love the avent flanges. Avent has little petals that massage the nipple which made more milk for me. But the pump itself is so annoying! I want to try it with the spectra pump
Oooo I’ll have to check those out next time!!
@@MommaAlia I would! You can find them on Amazon or their website.
Hi Momma! do you use any app to keep track of your pumping sessions?
Hey Lorrein! I used Pump Log(:
Was hoping you could do a review on tommee tippee pump and go bags
Trying them now!
Tks 😊
Thanks for watching!
How do I know when I'm empty while pumping
You'll get slow rolling beads or no streams after massaging and using the letdown phase generously while pumping
.
How about moms who are back at work? I pump around 10-20 mins. My boobs do soften but I sometimes still have streams of milk. I can’t pump for an hour. So far I’m pumping every 3 hours from 8am-5pm then nursing baby every 2 hours at home.
Do as much as you can, as often as you can. Try not to stress because it sounds like you’re doing your best with the situation you’ve been given! Also try to empty as soon as you get home!
Love your videos momma but had some questions.
1. You talked about massaging/shaking the breasts is that while pumping or before/after? Won't they leave their place or fell off?
2. For refridgerating the pump parts should we run them under tap water first or put them in the fridge directly?
3. If I heat milk up from the refridgerator but my LO doesnt eat from it like licked the nipple and left it can I put it in the refridgerator again n reheat when needed?
4. How did you decide upon the ounces your child needed?
Thanks in adv. Hope you'll ans them all.
Thank you! 1. Any and all! Before is good to get milk flowing. Then during (just take the flange off you before) will help milk flow again if it stops. After is good to make sure you emptied! 2. You can do either with a healthy, term baby. But running them under what does make it a bit cleaner and would give more longevity to them. 3. If they just licked the nipple I’d say that’s fine. But if they even take one actual drink from the bottle just leave it out at room temp and use it before 4 hours is up. If they don’t eat it in that time frame, use it for a milk bath! 4. This is a question I get a lot that I wish I could be more help with. My oldest two had been diagnosed with GERD by the time they were a couple months old. Because of it we never had a normal approach on feeding. With their conditions we didn’t set any set rules for feeding. With Lexi we’ve just been following her lead. If she’s ever seemed like she wanted more we offer in 1 oz increments to not waste milk and not overfeed. Our pediatrician is pretty knowledgeable about breastfeeding so her recommendations on how much she should be eating have been helpful too. Happy to help momma!
Thanks a ton ! Plzz accept my request on BB&B. Ive sent in request twice and answered the ques as well. My fb name is Hafsa Monis Dara.
Im 2 months postpartum and my milk supply has decreased a lot because of which had to supplement can I increase it again with pumping? Do I still have time to do so or am I late?
@@MommaAlia are you exc pumping with Baby Lexi as well?
How do I get in touch with Josie to ask about flags size?
breastbottleandbeyond.com !!
Thanks!!
What's "let down"?
I explain what it is and what it feels like in this video: czcams.com/video/GfwPjcK6tDI/video.html
Hope this helps!
How long did you pump for each session?
You want to pump until empty. For me that was around 30 minutes each side but I was a massive oversupplier so that’s why it took so long. Everyone will be different in how long they take to empty!
