Sometimes I think pumping and bottle-feeding (though not exclusively) would be nice 1) for my nipples sake! and 2) so baby doesn't end up with milk all over her face! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-looking-forward-to-pumping-the-majority-of-the-time#post-647321 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 20:32:44 +0000 chopsuey 647321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in the beginning! Pumped almost exclusively (nursed 1-2x a day) for the first 2 months. Once I had an idea of how much I was producing and baby was getting I started nursing and DS just gets a bottle before bedtime so he doesn't go on a bottle strike. </p> <p>Pumping became such a chore. Plus I didn't like having to take bottles with me if we went out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-looking-forward-to-pumping-the-majority-of-the-time#post-647228 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 19:12:53 +0000 NovBaby1112 647228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: sounds like a good plan! I did find that around the 3 month mark my supply really stabilized, my boobs weren't so full feeling all of the time, even though there was still a lot of milk in there. So there is hope for your oversupply yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-looking-forward-to-pumping-the-majority-of-the-time#post-647222 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 19:04:50 +0000 pl0508 647222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: we do block feed and that has helped !!! I really enjoy nursing so I do plan on nursing in the mornings and evenings when I start back to work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-looking-forward-to-pumping-the-majority-of-the-time#post-647199 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:52:08 +0000 tequiero21 647199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Haha. I am so glad I will be over pumping soon.... I hate pumping and cleaning the parts. Can't wait to retire them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-looking-forward-to-pumping-the-majority-of-the-time#post-647197 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:51:40 +0000 NovBaby1112 647197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry about the oversupply! I know what a pain that can be as I struggled with that for WEEKS. Have you tried block feeding? I did this for a few days and it helped tremendously. I don't mind pumping, but I find nursing so much easier...are you going to exclusively pump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-looking-forward-to-pumping-the-majority-of-the-time#post-647183 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:41:47 +0000 pl0508 647183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And not because I don't enjoy nursing. I do ! I am just so over this over supply And stressing over if LO is getting enough hind milk. I think it will be so much easier and I will feel so much better when I can pump myself empty each time and know for a fact he is getting the hind milk too. </p> <p>Anyone else feel this way ? </p>
