I would still stick with my usual sessions though, and it would typically just be the odd day or few days off. I took the worst hits when I was sick, so if you're not feeling well, that might explain it. You should rebound... my LO and I made it EBF through me working full time, even though I didn't produce well for the pump in general, so it can be done. Hang in there and I hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1737032 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 19:24:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1737032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I've never heard of the avocado before? What's in it that helps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1737025 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 19:22:04 +0000 Adira 1737025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: When my morning sessions have been terrible, I usually tried to add another session to make up for it. That always seemed to help for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1736937 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 18:28:44 +0000 LovelyPlum 1736937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the tips. I ended up getting 13 oz today, so not terrible. My morning pumps have just been frustrating. I thought the morning pump was supposed to be the big one, but mine hasn't been that way. Makes me think I'm not doing something right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1735664 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 10:02:35 +0000 avivoca 1735664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat an avocado and mainline the water. I've added an avocado at lunchtime to my diet in the past couple of weeks, and the days I eat one I am able to get what I need for daycare (12 oz). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1735654 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:57:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1735654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a good protein snack (cheese stick, yogurt, etc) and chug some water and see if that helps a bit for the afternoon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1735637 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:48:48 +0000 MrsKoala 1735637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happens to me a lot. I go through periodic weeks where my supply seems to be down. Illness can definitely cause it. Typically you don't recover since production tapers down in the afternoon. If I need enough to make up bottles for the next day. I stay up a bit late and pump after N goes to bed or I'll pump before work the next day. I also pump once in the mornings on the weekends to have more milk as a buffer in the fridge in case of bad pumping days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1735634 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:45:13 +0000 autumnlove 1735634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only close or during AF! I still pump even when I don't expect a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-morrning-pumps-didnt-go-well#post-1735593 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:28:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 1735593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...is the rest of the day doomed?</p> <p>It has been a hell of a morning. I've gotten 5 oz through two pumps, when I've been getting almost double that by now. I didn't even let down until 5 minutes into this last one. I spilled my coffee and also don't feel well in general. Anything I can do to help my two remaining pumps? :bummed: </p>
