tired

cole_plus_one

I am so exhausted from breastfeeding! My baby wants to nurse for an hour or hour and a half every 2 hours! And she sometimes takes an ounce or two from a bottle after! If I pump I get as much as 9 ounces total so I know my milk is definately in! I sometimes just give her a bottle without even trying to nurse her!

@cole_plus_one o my gosh, at least you know she's getting enough to eat! My lo eats on one side for 5 minutes then goes into a deep sleep for hours, i'm worried she isn't eating enough, what bottle do you use?

My son does what both your ladies babies do. If your bf they are getting enough some babies are snackers. So you said you can pump 9 oz at a time omg how? I get 5 max the past week only 3. Are you using a manual or electic pump? Oh bf also makes you sleepy but keep up the good work mommas

@Kimberly4411 I'm using a breastflow bottle. They are kind of expensive but they are supposed to be the closest to the breast. They have thenm at walmart! @socialMOMMA2boys I started pumping in the hospital less than a day after she was born. I'm always in pain because I feel like I'm never getting empty! And I'm using an electric pump I got from WIC. Also, I just nursed her for 45 minutes and then she took 4 ounces from a bottle!

Oh yeah, she was born on the 3rd! so she'll be 2 weeks old on Monday!

Do you know that shes actually eating? My son often uses me as a pacifier, but its a different kind of suckle that doesnt necessarily draw the milk out.

Man, I wish I could pump 9 oz at a time...jealous.

we're all jealous of you pumping 9 oz! The most I've pumped in one session was 5oz on 1 side and 3oz on the other=8oz I was pretty ecstatic

@CaptainMorgaine She's definitely swallowing. The LC said to watch her temples and her ears to know

Wow. That's a long time. How much does she weigh? Idk of that has anything to do with anything. Just wondering..

She was 8 lb 8 oz when she was born but she was down to 7 lb 13 oz last time we went to the doctor.
