Around the same time she had her first wet diaper since I left for work. She's been eating for me since she got home. Hopefully we'll be seeing more wet diapers soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-is-up-is-sick-lo-is-not-eating#post-1117510 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 14:54:37 +0000 Corduroy 1117510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm back to my normal pumping output for my second pumping session of the work day. I think that means LO didn't eat much at all last night &amp; this morning. I thought if I produced more this session it might mean I'm just producing more in general (which would be good). </p> <p>She's only taken an ounce from the bottle in the last 6 hours. Email me back, doctor, please. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-is-up-is-sick-lo-is-not-eating#post-1117147 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:43:32 +0000 Corduroy 1117147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I've been back at work for 3 months. I just missed the last four days because of LO's illness. Normally I don't worry about her not taking the bottle at daycare since I know she eats from me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-is-up-is-sick-lo-is-not-eating#post-1117114 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:35:33 +0000 Smurfette 1117114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't think her not eating would up your pumping. I would think you would see a dip in supply if she wasn't eating. </p> <p>I am sorry she isn't eating. Maybe she just isn't hungry since she is sick. Hopefully she feels better soon and gets back to eating normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-is-up-is-sick-lo-is-not-eating#post-1117112 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:34:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1117112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's because you're getting better at the pump? I found that after a month or so, I started getting a better output because I finally got the hang of the pump and the 2nd let down. </p> <p>And if your LO won't take the bottle, don't worry too much. She'll either learn to take the bottle or will wait until you're home to eat a whole bunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-is-up-is-sick-lo-is-not-eating#post-1117102 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:32:38 +0000 Corduroy 1117102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is not taking the bottle. Being at work is killing me. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-output-is-up-is-sick-lo-is-not-eating#post-1116828 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 12:01:45 +0000 Corduroy 1116828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pumping output has been way up the past few days. LO is just starting antibiotics for pneumonia and is pretty congested. Does my increase in pump output mean she's hardly eating? Is this common? Worrisome? </p> <p>I just pumped 8oz and my PR was 4! Last night at 10pm I pumped 6oz and I usually get 2 at that session.</p> <p>LO had her first bottle this week from DH this morning but her consumption doesn't tell me much because she never really takes her first bottle after a long boob-only stretch. </p>
