@@KBless-uw3st it’s important to know your local laws about your legal rights for time to pump, especially if you live in America. A lot of states have laws protecting breastfeeding mothers that would allow you extra break time to pump while at work. If you don’t live in a country that provides that, you can do the power pumping session in the morning before work. I’m hoping your employer would be supportive and give you more time but I also know sometimes that’s not the case and sometimes we dont have a private place to pump. It’s a lot of hard work. And you’re going a great job!

@honeysucklemotherhood Thank you so much!

@@MomAndBabyCareHazel24 thank you so much for your encouragement. And I’m so so glad it’s helped you feel a little more understood and not alone in this.

@@MoriacMumma7 thank you for this rec! I’m excited to read it

@@rosannarios-spicer5186 colostrum is a suuuuper food. It will always be good for them. You can actually store it in the freezer too for anytime they get sick in the future. Because you are having a c section you’ll be in the hospital a couple days. The hospital staff will be weighing your baby and watching their amount of weight loss (all babies lose weight the first few days after birth.) gestational diabetes and c sections often lead to a delay in milk production but just keep up the pumping/hand expression between feeds to help get the milk coming. Colostrum is not harmful in any way, we will just want to keep an eye on baby’s weight and diaper output of milk hasn’t come in by 72 hours after birth. I hope this helps.

@@Sarikayacomesin I always prefer hospital grade pumps, especially for moms who plan to pump often. There are quite a few brands to choose from however Medela and spectra tend to be my go to pumps as they have quite a few options and at different price levels. I also personally used both and loved them.

@ got it.. thank you so much 😊

@@soniahussain73 hi Sonia! Can you DM me on instagram? I’m under the same handle honeysuckle.motherhood? I’ll do my best to help figure out what’s causing the drop and what might be able to help. 🫶🏼 you’re doing such important work. I hope you know how wonderful of a job you’re doing even if you aren’t seeing the results you want right now

@@joriwilkinson so so glad your finding great ways to nourish your body and your baby

@@WhereWeGatherPodcast it can depend on the severity and position of the tie. Some moms find a lot of comfort in laid back or even football that allows them to get the chin pressed to the breast a little deeper. Please let me know if you need more info.

@@lesley5955 you’re not alone. It’s hard to truly prepare for this season of life. But man, oh man, your role of mother is so pivotal and powerful. You will figure out your flow, learn your baby, bond, heal and grow so much. There is so much good happening right now and even more to come. I know it’s tough and these first few weeks feel like a cold plunge but I hope you know what a great job you’re doing. 🫶🏼 I loved reading “the next two weeks” cause it says you’re taking it in chunks rather than feeling the need to figure it all out right now. You’re going the good thing. I’m so grateful to be able to help in any way. That’s my goal with each of these videos- if it just makes one persons journey a little lighter, if you feel more supported, encouraged, understood or empowered - then it’s done it’s job and I’m so honored to have played that small part to lift you up in any way. You are a great mother 🫶🏼 and what you are doing right now matters.

And I’ve got three weeks lined up right now: postpartum body changes, relationships/marriage after birth and basics of baby care for this season.

@@PettyBlue1 I’m so glad!

@@mariscac816 thank you for the encouragement 🫶🏼

@@BatsonicAbie well said. 🫶🏼 you are a great mummy and are giving your baby so much love.

Thank you for your comment 🥹I needed to hear it from someone else. My baby is 9 weeks old and I still have to remind me everyday that even though I couldn’t breastfeed him like I wanted I’m still a good mama because I’m keeping him fed. I tried everything to increased my milk supply but unfortunately it didn’t, now I’m pumping and giving him every drop I get + formula.

@@lianetvelazquez4902my exact situation 😢😢

@@lianna_burgener you are dealing with so so much right now. Every single drop you make is powerful and nourishes your baby. You are doing what you need to do to care for your baby and I’m sure she feels so safe and loved by you. You are a wonderful mother. 🫶🏼 one day at a time. It will get better and better

@@honeysucklemotherhood thank you so much!

@@PettyBlue1 thank you so much for this comment 🫶🏼 I can’t tell you how encouraging it is!

@@Catinthecloud moringa leaves do have some research behind it and has been proven to increase supply. Just keep getting the milk out while you consume it. Cause it really does come down to removal.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi Ana! i'm so sorry for my delayed response! Can you reach out to me on instagram so we can talk a bit more about the specifics of your situation and what I can do to help. My instagram handle is @honeysuckle.motherhood

Have you considered seeing a lactation consultant? Apparently, the suckling is a reflex for babies until about 3 months, when it becomes active. My baby is the same age and I experienced the same thing. I reviewed his latch and I am feeding him more frequently. So far, it helped. Good luck!

@@keybee4956 thank you for this idea!! I feel inspired. I’ll start working on it soon!

@@ShadesofSage thank you for your comment 🫶🏼 I appreciate you reaching out, sharing your page and thoughts. This videos topic is on actively attempting to increase milk supply. As a breastfeeding specialist, I do disagree with the advice of waiting at least 6 weeks to pump. If a mother is struggling to maintain or build their milk supply (whether it’s because of gaps between feedings, birth trauma, premature birth, oral ties, etc) pumping can be a powerful and necessary tool in increasing milk supply. If a mother is struggling with their supply, advising them to wait at least 6 weeks to start pumping can set them up for failure rather than help them reach their breastfeeding goals. Ultimately the more milk we remove the more milk our body will be told to make (unless there are certain underlying medical conditions). If baby is unable to remove the milk, a pump is a valuable resource to aid in extra milk removal sessions. Thank you for all the hard work you’re pouring into your channel 🫶🏼 many blessings to you and your beautiful family.

You’re welcome 😊! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts also! I am a breastfeeding counselor as well and the goal should always be to get baby to breast. Pumping should be reserved for times in which mom is away from baby or cannot breastfeed straight from the breasts for a reason, for example a NICU stay. As you know, baby is most effective and better at getting milk out the breast than any pump can. If latching is the problem there are ways we can help moms so that babe can get on properly and breastfeed. And there are other ways to get milk out the breast also without pumping, such as hand expression. Still, pumping adds other challenges as well, like nipple confusion when babe is offered a bottle, improper or over feeding of baby with the bottle, nipple damage, and an oversupply for mom. I just believe babies are the best guide and breastfeeding is most successful when we allow them to lead, with guidance of course ☺️! Thank you for all your kind words about my channel also and keep up the great work ❤️! Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏿!

@@ShadesofSage I think we might miscommunicating and be talking about two different situations. I 100% agree with you that the baby is more effective and better at getting milk out of the breast than a pump, when they are able. If baby is term, is able to maintain latch and suction and able to fully and effectively breastfeed, i'm on your same conclusion of allowing baby to be the one to effectively help establish supply. It's wonderful if we don't need any other tools to help with milk supply. I have not been able to experience that as a breastfeeding mother as my cases were quite different. I needed a pump. In other cases, like the case of my child who was born prematurely with very low energy and a lip and tongue tie, she was unable to remove milk effectively until we were able to get her weight up and help with tongue exercises to aid in function and mobility. Breastfeeding her more and letting her lead was just simply not an option for us as she was unable to breastfeed. Hand expression is a powerful tool and combining hand expression with pumping and breastfeeding has been shown to increase fat content and volume in breast milk. It is a wonderful method to add to milk removal. The topic and focus of this video is for those (who like me) were/are unable to breastfeed their baby directly and needed to boost milk supply to supplement their feeds in another way (or who want to exclusively pump, build stash, or any other reason). The goal in this video is to increase milk production. This is a special situation as the baby in this case is unable to effectively remove milk. In that case, a pump is very helpful. And thankfully, bottles are not the only feeding method we can employ to help our babies. There are many options and methods available. It's wonderful that each of us can find a way to make breastfeeding work in our specific situations. Thanks again! And many blessings. ❤

@@honeysucklemotherhood Ahhh! I see and I understand! I completely agree with you! My first was a 2lb. 11 oz. preemie as well who spent 7 long weeks in the Special Care Nursery, so I get it 🫶🏿! I HAD to pump with her when I was away and until she could latch, but for my other full term babies I didn’t 🙌🏿! Thank you for taking the time out to explain 🙏🏿! And you’re welcome ☺️!

@@abigailferrales5570 hi! There’s a free 4 day plan. I have a full 7 day workbook that is available as well for those who want extra support (that’s the one with the fee). Both are found in the same link. Let me know if you have trouble finding the 4 day plan.

Hi, how long did you have to do this until you actually saw supply increase?

Hi, I am a new mom to a 15 day old baby. I am facing low breastmilk issue. Do you think it will work for me?

​@@dc3981let me know too if it is helping
