I just pumped today for the first time. I hope I can get more next time. Maybe changing times of day and whatnot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2620487 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 06:56:09 +0000 MrsADS 2620487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold it really depends on your work schedule. I leave the house about 7:30 and get home around 5. From when I went back to work (at 4 months pp) until about 11 months pp, I pumped 2x/day. I pumped 3x/day my first week back but realized it wasn't really necessary, for me.</p> <p>So I usually pumped about 8:30 and about 12ish. I found my milk production was much higher in the morning than any other time of day. </p> <p>I think the # of times you pump is related to your breast storage capacity... I will post some links if you haven't read about it. Basically, some moms have a large breast storage capacity and get a lot of milk out every time they pump or nurse; (this is me) may only feed baby on 1 side per feeding because the breast (when full) can hold a lot. These babies may go longer between feedings. Moms with small breast storage capacity need to empty breasts more frequently - baby may need to nurse both sides per feed since breasts do not hold as much milk. Breasts will refill more often. </p> <p><a href="https://breastfeedingusa.org/content/article/magic-number-and-long-term-milk-production" rel="nofollow">https://breastfeedingusa.org/content/article/magic-number-and-long-term-milk-production</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.motherlove.com/blog/view/does-size-matter-how-breast-storage-capacity-can-affect-breastfeeding" rel="nofollow">https://www.motherlove.com/blog/view/does-size-matter-how-breast-storage-capacity-can-affect-breastfeeding</a></p> <p>My son is 12.5 months and I pump once at work right now around 10:30am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2620441 Mon, 12 Sep 2016 22:22:36 +0000 agold 2620441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: that's a lot of pumped milk! If send a picture to my husband, too! :silly: do you have a feeding/pumping schedule you follow for when you went back to work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560561 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:37:17 +0000 DesertDreams88 2560561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to get enough to go out on our anniversary date this afternoon.... thank you morning engorgement! I worked hard for all that milk! </p> [attach=5393/16/o85i25.337x600.20160602_082708.jpg] [attach=5393/16/o85i26.600x337.20160528_101826.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560478 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:03:06 +0000 auggiefrog 2560478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm combination feeding right now. My LO gets the milk I pump at night and possibly in the morning, and formula during the day. We were having a lot of issues latching, and pumping 8 times a day was making me miserable. </p> [attach=1673/16/o85dp7.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560370 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 07:26:23 +0000 Alivoo01 2560370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aandmklover: That's how it was for my DS too! He was itty bitty when he was born though, but when he decided to latch at 6 weeks, it was like he's been doing it since birth. I was so amazed!!! </p> <p>@MrsADS: I do the same thing and send it to DH and my close lady friends who are also pumping right now. It's such an awesome feeling. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560332 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 00:06:16 +0000 QBbride 2560332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: wow that's an amazing amount! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560299 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 21:23:12 +0000 abmamma 2560299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is great! I don't have a pic but I EP and am still going strong at 9.5 months (although I'm not gonna lie, I am counting the days until I can throw my pump out the window, lol). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560227 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 18:40:23 +0000 MrsADS 2560227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ebf but pump at work!!

It's so much hard work and dedication. Awesome job mamma! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-pics#post-2560024 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:08:25 +0000 MaisyMay 2560024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey moms!</p> <p>I know that there are threads for pics of moms nursing but I wanted to start one for us who pump. Feeding our babies, no matter how we do it, rocks.</p> <p>I Ep and supplement with formula. </p> [attach=407/16/o83ue1.337x600.20160601_100950.jpg]
