Just enougher pumper
As a mom of 4 and my last baby being the only baby I’ve experienced breastfeeding with has been a roller coaster. Very stressful yet rewarding! The main thing is having a great pump! I have gone through 4 pumps now and the spectra is the best one that has worked for me. 🤱🏻🤱🏻 (we supplement formula, up to 2 bottles a day)
Baby boy doesn’t seem to latch for a long time, I will try everytime he shows hunger cues but he won’t stay on for long so we now pump every 3 hrs and try to nurse overnight if he wakes up at all (he’s 2 months). Best thing is staying hydrated! Not just water but electrolytes as well!! 💦💦 make sure you’re eating lots of protein and good fatty foods (avocados, yogurt, etc.) DO NOT WATCH THE PUMP. 👀 Try to distract yourself, watch a show, stare at your baby, watch videos on your phone, it stressed me out too much watching it! And just remember, you got this!! 🙏🏻🥰 what you’re doing is amazing and any amount of breastmilk the baby consumes is amazing! 🎉🎉🩷🩷
Baby boy is weighing at 11.1lbs! He weighed 6.3lbs at birth! 🥰🥰 this journey is rewarding if you let it, make sure you have the right support and if you need someone I am here 🥰👏💙🩷
Breastfeeding can be an incredible journey that varies for each mother. Many new moms face challenges, especially when their babies struggle with latching. It's crucial to have not only the best pump but also a support system in place. The Spectra pump has become a favorite among mothers for its effectiveness. Hydration plays a vital role in milk production, so incorporating electrolytes and a protein-rich diet can significantly benefit your breastfeeding journey. Avoid fixating on the pump—distraction can lessen anxiety. Use this time to bond with your baby or enjoy your favorite show. Remember, every drop is worthwhile, and the community of mothers is here to support one another. For those seeking relatable experiences, connecting with hashtags like #breastfeedingmom, #pumpingmom, and #fedisbest can create a sense of belonging and encouragement. Embrace this journey with its ups and downs, knowing you are not alone.
