I would suggest getting some grapefruit seed extract pills to take just in case (250mg 3x/day worked for me and I noticed a difference in just 1 day). You can get it at GNC, VitaminShop, etc. I found them in the digestive section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349847 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 13:12:58 +0000 Adira 1349847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: @leelee: Ack! Thrush??? Don't scare me ladies! (And if it's because the pump parts aren't being washed well enough, I'm going to kill my husband - he does the washing!)</p> <p>@Ms.SK: Hmm... I had turned the suction up when my supply tanked... maybe that's the issue. I'll try turning it back down a bit and keep my fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349831 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 13:08:46 +0000 Ms.SK 1349831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could have the suction to high on the pump. This could cause pain and even thrush over an extended period of time. Also, APNO doesn't have to be washed off before pumping/nursing but lanolin would need to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349818 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 13:04:45 +0000 yellowbird 1349818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I hadnt either until someone suggested it to me for that bite. It is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349517 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:02:06 +0000 leelee 1349517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @purrpletulips I pumped with zero pain for weeks and then suddenly it was intense pain and turned out to be thrush. I only thing I found that worked for me for thrush was GSE pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349160 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:00:31 +0000 purrpletulips 1349160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly the start of thrush if you aren't getting the pump parts washed well enough?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349151 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:58:56 +0000 Greentea 1349151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pharmaceutical grade Australian lanolin ...Australian Gold I believe and it saved me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349138 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:56:38 +0000 Adira 1349138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I've never heard of that, thanks! I recently broke out my APNO which I also have to wash off beforehand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349124 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:54:34 +0000 Adira 1349124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm scared to! I'm just barely producing enough to cover Xander! I'm afraid if I cut a session, my supply will tank again! :(</p> <p>@autumnlove: Ice - good idea. I'll have to do that tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349122 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:54:20 +0000 yellowbird 1349122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: bag balm is awesome. Someone suggested it to me when my LO bit me and it worked to relieve soreness in just a couple hours. Make sure you wash it off before pumping or nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349109 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:52:43 +0000 Smurfette 1349109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Can you cut a session? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349098 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:51:45 +0000 autumnlove 1349098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ice em! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-i-think-ive-been-pumping-too-much#post-1349085 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:49:47 +0000 Adira 1349085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I've been pumping around the clock to try to get my supply up and I'm happy to say that it's been working! I'm finally pumping enough to cover what I send with Xander to daycare. BUT my nipples HURT!!! :( They feel so sore and when I start pumping or when Xander latches on, they hurt initially, and then they kind of get numb to it.</p> <p>Any suggestions?? </p>
