Why have I never thought of using the flange as a funnel?? Thank you so much for showing that I’ve spilled so much milk lol. For me I don’t feel like the lansinoh bags are accurate. In February I started storing my milk again because beginning of March I returned to work. My daughter was in the NICU for a month and my stash was HUGE but when she got home I was too tired to pump and relied so much on the stash my supply took a huge dip. I would get barely an ounce when pumping. Drinking more water and being more consistent and doing those late night pumps I get 3.5-7 ounces when I pump now. Such a relief. I almost thought my breastfeeding journey was over. So anyone reading this don’t give up! I almost did and then my supply came back strong 💪🏽. Also a great app to use is huckleberry!! I love it. It tracks how long your baby sleeps, when they ate, when you pumped, their growth, any medication they need, and their temperature!!
Thank you so much. Sadly my son is refusing the breast and after 6 weeks of fighting to breastfeed and developing PPD I am giving up on breastfeeding. I am now trying to come to terms with being an exclusive pumper and your videos helped and encouraged me so much.
How did it turn out? Were you able to get enough milk supply to feed your baby using the pump? My baby is 4 weeks old and is struggling to nurse. He prefers the bottles. I wanted to breast him but at this point I might have to give up.
@@arely890 exclusivly pumping worked out for us very well. He is 7 month old now and still only on breastmilk. Now I only pump 3x a day - 30min each pump (i started with 8x a day). I see a lot of advantages in it. My husband and I share the nights equally; my parents have him one day+night every month and those baby free days really recharge my batteries which helps me to be a better mom. A lot of the other moms envy me for those little freedoms :)
When I gave birth to my daughter i stayed in the hospital for four days (had to have a emergency c-section) and had another women in the bed next to mine who had also given birth. She was so devastated because she could not get milk out of her breasts she would pump and pump and nothing and she would even try to get her daughter to breastfeed and nothing..she cried and I would hear her and would feel so bad for her. So to all those moms that barely pump an oz or just get enough to feed their babies be grateful always💕 cause some women would love to have been able to feed their babies. That's another lesson I learned is to be grateful that my daughter gets a full belly and that my body is able to produce milk for her💕💕
I going through that .. I had a c section was in the hospital for 4 days .. delivered my twin daughters ..my milk never came in I can't even produce an ounce😭.. just recently has caused me so much anxiety..it's truly heart breaking..they're still in the NICU so between going there and pumping is exhausting!! I've skipped some at night pumping because I'm exhausted and then feel super guilty.. I've spoken to a lactation consultant. She checked the flanges she said they were the right side..but now I'm thinking I'm using the wrong size.. I'm just so sad that I can't produce milk for my babies 😢😢 I feel like I'm not getting enough support.. I had a very nice nurse help me with latching but she was the only one .. most nurses in the NICU are not helping.. 😩 I never thought this would be so challenging and heart breaking!! 😭😭😭
Girl 4oz on the slacker is a lot! I’m lucky to get 4oz in a day and I’m only 11.5wpp! 🥺 So happy for you and your sweet little pumpling! Keep up the great work mama! ♥️
You're not just beautiful on the outside; your inner strength shines through in every word you say. Your determination is inspiring, and I'm here cheering you on every step of the way!
When you work so hard to get the milk, that one bottle hurts. Even when I lose just a little bit I feel like crying. Because I work so hard for it. You did great! Keep it up!
I sympathize with the loss of a whole pump. I once spilled a 16oz jar of milk, cried a lot over that. Glad to see others who pump exclusively, since i was warned to avoid pumping by people, but being a ftm was stressful trying to learn about my baby and his needs. I can pump enough for an extra meal every day now, which I stash for donation. Much love to you for making these videos
Wow I remember watching this first week my daughter was born and thinking I wish I was like you lol. Thank you for the motivation xx I had such hard time getting milk, her breastfeeding and me trying to pump. Was one of the most challenging things in my life not to be dramatic. It’s been 4 months now and how things have changed... I have become pro at pumping hahah. My fridge it’s full of milk and my supply it’s over 1000 mls a day. Who ever it’s struggling just remember things get so much better and you can do this for your beautiful baby xoxo
@@daniafernandez1880 personally I did everything and my supply never improved until my doctor gave me medications. I took only few and it was amazing. I’m still pumping after over 6 months
Reading this at 4 weeks postpartum. I'm encouraged. Doing the same. I am nursing and working towards pumping after a feed. At night or just after the morning feed.
Do hand expression on the right side after you finish pumping. I learned to do hand expressions for 2-3 minutes after pumping, and that increased my milk dramatically.
Love how genuine this video is! Thanks for being honest about being busy & everything that goes along with exclusively breastfeeding!! Definitely know what it's like to drop milk.
I’m 3 weeks postpartum with my second baby. I exclusively pump and bottle feed. For now I get about 1400-1500 ml per 24 hours of 20-30 minutes of duration with Symphony. With my first baby, I usually get 15-16oz per pumping session by the 2-3 months postpartum. I’m hoping I’ll be able to do the same this time too. As I’d like to freeze as much as possible. All I did was eat and drink well and have a pumping schedule and stick to it as much as possible (sometimes I miss though).
Oh Ale, how sad when the milk spilled. (And you CAN cry over spilled milk!) I didn’t have kids, so I’m really in awe of how hard you’re willing to work to give your son the best nutritional start in life. Yay Mom!!!!! 💙🍼💙
I pump 80 oz per day , sometimes more , and for me is a struggle, need medication to regulate my oversupply .... A secret to increment your milk supply is to drink a glass of quinoa , oatmeal or just water right AFTER you pump or breastfeed your baby.
Girl! Girl! I said “I sure hope she doesn’t spill her milk” and then bam, it happened! I know this was a year ago but, I felt that in my soul, when it dropped!!
I’m 1month PP and am an exclusive pumper, I also get 30oz a day to stash, not including what my son eats throughout the day. It’s definitely time consuming, but totally worth it!
I always see videos about exclusively pumping when supply established. Im pumping every 2 to 3 hours only getting 2 oz altogether. How can i increase this power pumping aswell
I really enjoyed this video and how transparent and real you were. Im having a bit of a time trying to build up my supply but I am pushing forward. Tysm for sharing🙏🏼❤
Katherine Montes In the video, she uses Medela flanges with an adapter so she can use it with the Spectra pump. You can get a long stem back flow protector on amazon that goes into the medela flange so you can screw the Dr. Brown bottles directly onto the flange. Or there’s a standard cap adapter for spectra flanges on amazon that you screw into the spectra flange to use the Dr. Brown bottles with the spectra. Hope that makes sense!
I teared up a bit when I saw the spilled milk! Please continue doing these videos! I tried exclusively pumping two years ago and I got nothing but negativity from a couple lactation consultants. Partnered with working full time, little support and feeling so overwhelmed as a new mom, we supplemented more and more before I stopped at 7 months. I remember having a hard time finding resources and tips from other pumping moms, so I really think you’re going to be helping a lot of women out!
I got so much negativity with my first so I gave up. I STILL get negativity but people forget pumping is still breastfeeding! We have to do whatever we can to take care of our babies! I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but I'm sure your baby is now healthy and strong because you still found a way to take care of them!
You are doing great! I had an undersupply with all 3 of my kids. Dropping a bottle was always a huge deal for me! My LC told me to always scrape the pump membranes against the rim of the bottle to get any milk that is trapped behind it. Sometimes there was a surprising amount behind the membrane and up into the flange connectors.
Omg I'm crying for you! I have spilt 3-4 oz before and about died. But 6oz. You really kept it together I probably would've thrown a full on fit on camera. But I'm lucky if I even pump 2 oz a pump session anymore.
I am only pumping two ounces I do try I breast feed more then I pump but I want to pump and I can't pump much when I try it does not come out after two ounces how can I increase my supply like u did
I feel u. Try increasing the amt of water u drink. Its hard but u have to. Also, eat oatmeal everyday. I also pump and breastfeed my baby and right now he's in the cluster feeding phase which makes him feed regularly (every few minutes if he's awake) which means when i go to pump there's not much milk. I finally decided to pump from one breast and feed him from the other. If that makes sense
I've been looking into those adapters to use my Spectra pump with Medela parts, but I can't find the pieces they attach to like what you show in this video. That's the only thing you show that doesn't have a link. : ( I'd love to know what they're called and where to get them!
Kyla Williams You pump for 20-30 minutes (until the milk stops flowing) and you wait for 10 minutes, pump for another 10 minutes, wait another 10 minutes, and pump for 10 minutes and you’re done. It supposedly mimics a cluster feeding baby!
What are you using for settings? I have that pump and am having a really hard time draining my breast fully. It also hurts my nipples so badly. Any advice?
Hi aleeee! I hope you get to see this message. I have the spectra pump, and the Medellin milk containers. Do I have to boiled the parts every time b4 use? Or just the first time?
Some people don’t need to pump at night to maintain supply, I think it just depends on the person. I dropped my middle of the night pump at 9 weeks and I still pump 55+ ounces a day with five sessions.
I love your videos. Can you please make a video on your pumps since i see you combined madela parts and spectra pump...would love to see breakdown to better understand. Thank you so much
How do we know like how much new born eat or feed with milk. If formula or Brest milk so in bottle how much once should we prepared for new born bottle?
This is so old, but, everybody has told me the best time to power pump, is in the morning. But I just can’t bring myself to do it because that’s when I get the most milk. And I feel like, if I’m not pumping the whole time, I’m not going to get as much. But I definitely need to do something because my milk supply has decreased within the past month. My daughter is eight weeks tomorrow, so I haven’t been pumping that long. But I am also an exclusive pumper. So every little bit of milk I can get, counts. When you power pump, did you do it in the morning? I’ve never been able to get 15 ounces in a pump. The most I ever got was 10. But I feel like if I were to power pump, I would only get like 3 or 4 ounces because you obviously have to rest so the amount of milk you would get out during that resting phase, you won’t get when you are power pumping. 😭😭😩 did power pumping make a difference in your supply? If so, I may just bite the bullet and do it. Also, do you have to do it in the morning? Or could you do it anytime?
Thanks for sharing!! I'm exclusively pumping for my 4 month old and I just found your channel and so excited for it! How does the milk savers work? Are they worth it?
Hi there... I’m just watching your video and I wanna ask you that will my milk supply go down if I pump twice a day? Can I rebuild my milk supply again by pumping often times? Pls let me know about this
Huckleberry is also a free and good app! They have a special subscription for like sleep consultation for baby. But the app can still be used for free and no pop up ads. I love it
Do you not wash and sanitise your parts after every pump?? Just wondering cos I do and of course it’s very daunting. I’m a new mum with a 4 week old so if I can take short cuts then I need to know 😂😝
Oh man. If you had cried or cursed when that milk spilled I don’t think anyone would have judged you! You are such a rockstar. Saw that you were sick this week. Feel better xx
Do you wash your pump parts once a day? I wash with soap and hot water after every use and it's so time consuming! If I don't have to every time it would save me some time during the day.
I just found your channel looking for exclusive pumpers. I have a baby with CHD on a feeding tube exclusively because she has a vocal cord paralyzed open from her first heart surgery. She also had a fundoplication done which caused a hypersensitive gag reflex. So, learning to eat orally just can't happen yet. It is impossibly difficult to find people online exclusively pumping for a tube fed baby/medical reasons. I recently had a round of mastitis which cut my milk supply in HALF! Despite pumping very often, I believe it was a supplement I was taking to help with the infection management. I am now doing power pumping trying to increase my supply again. My daughter is only 3 months and she has a very limited volume due to her heart condition (awaiting the next "big" heart surgery, needs to grow more!). She only gets 576 mL a day. We fortify with formula to a higher calorie. Even at half my supply, I produce enough for a day and then a little more. There is so much pressure, I feel, on women to make these massive freezer stashes on top of what they already breastfeed their babies. I find a lot of them end up donating the milk or never getting through it. I have to remember that if I make enough for her to eat in a day, we are golden. Thank you for taking the time to film all this for people like me!
*Watching her drop 6 oz on the floor* And THATS why I instantly lid the freaking things, even when I'm not quite done pouring and have to turn around or look away for any reason, because the more paranoid I am about dropping them, the more I'm prone to spilling. Worst feeling in the world.
I’m a FTM, she’s 3 weeks old. I have the spectra2 but can only pump 2-3 oz an hour. I have decent milk supply because if I hand express, it squirts everywhere. I was told the flange may be too big but please help if you can! Thanks
That's actually a lot, for only 3 weeks! If you can't see a lactation consultant to assess your flange size, you can just try ordering a smaller size of if Amazon! I also have a Spectra and even though I have G cup boobs, I need the 19mm flanges! Nipples come in all shapes and sizes, but if your areola is getting sucked into your flange, it's too big!
Do you have different adapter accessories for your spectra? How are you able to pump into a Dr Brown or madela bottle? My spectra Falange only fits wide neck bottles so I can only pump into the spectra bottles 😞
AnnaV4710 she’s using a hack to hook her spectra pump to her other bottles. You can find it on pinterest or google. Also, you can get the big Avent bottles and they fit the spectra flanges!
How did you start pumping to store while still feeding baby? I pump enough to try to store it, but my 2 week old eats so much he ends up eating more than i can pump
Oh when you dropped the bottle 😭😭...I lost a full one when I didn't get the cap on tight and it got knocked over in the fridge. I cried while cleaning it up.
Omggg I felt your pain when your milk spilled. I do have a question. How did you like those milk savers? Im pumping and nursing my 5 week old and was wondering about those.
Can i ask you a question dear? I have a low milk supply since my 3 months old baby is refusing breastfeeding. I'm having 10ml each time i pump. Can i increase it or no? And how?
My baby has just got 1 month old, I am getting 60 milliter in 4 hours pumping period... is that normal ? Is the quantity going to increase gradually over the months that my baby growes ??
I have a 5 week old and exhaustion must be getting to me, because this WHOLE video i thought the title said 900 OUNCES 🤣🤣🤣 I was like “I gotta see this shit...” and then I kept waiting thinking you must have been pumping every hour some crazy amount and not updating! Omg my brain, I need sleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whoever said “don’t cry over spilled milk” wasn’t talking about breast milk! I feel your pain!
Facts my husband spilled milk and I was so crabby that day 😭😭
Don’t cry over spilled milk doesn’t literally mean don’t cry if you spill milk
Kim Seokjin I’m sure they know that, it’s a joke 🤦♀️
I literally cried when my 3 year old spilled my milk ! I pumped for my newborn twins and omg! It hurt soooooo bad I cried the whole night! 😭😭😭
Sweet Life of Candi I was just about to say that! Lol
Why have I never thought of using the flange as a funnel?? Thank you so much for showing that I’ve spilled so much milk lol. For me I don’t feel like the lansinoh bags are accurate. In February I started storing my milk again because beginning of March I returned to work. My daughter was in the NICU for a month and my stash was HUGE but when she got home I was too tired to pump and relied so much on the stash my supply took a huge dip. I would get barely an ounce when pumping. Drinking more water and being more consistent and doing those late night pumps I get 3.5-7 ounces when I pump now. Such a relief. I almost thought my breastfeeding journey was over. So anyone reading this don’t give up! I almost did and then my supply came back strong 💪🏽. Also a great app to use is huckleberry!! I love it. It tracks how long your baby sleeps, when they ate, when you pumped, their growth, any medication they need, and their temperature!!

How do you get so much milk in and when did you start getting that much milk?
I watched this with my husband and he gasped just as loudly as I did when the milk fell. Giiiiirl, I. Have. Felt. That. Pain! 😭😭😭😭😭
Omg thats great lol 😂 seriously though, I dropped 3oz once and literally cried inside for a few minutes. I couldn’t IMAGINE spilling 6oz!! Omg 😩

Hi. May I please know are you taking any supplements to boosts your milk supply? And do you pump exclusively as well?
Catherine Amores
Yes I take Mother’s milk not evryday tho
My left side get 3oz my right 5oz a pump
I breastfeed and pump only

Milk if you pump
Until your completely empty and continue pumping for a few mins after. It signals your body to make more milk!!
How???? Do I have my pump set incorrectly?
How did you like the milk savers?
“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” - Andrew Carnegie

What kind of bottle rack is that. Looks like it holds a lot of bottles. Please give me a link for where you got it
Omg! I feel so sad.. I can’t even pump 3oz of milk and 6 oz 😭
How often do you pump per day? And do you wake during night time sleep? How often?

Same!! The struggle to get EXTRA is so hard. But we must keep going 💪🏾💪🏾
Hello!
Please What's the name of the app you used to save your pump sessions' details?
Hi quick question, in order to use your spectra and Mr. Browns bottles what adapters do you need? Because I plan on using those two. Thanks!
Katherine Montes In the video, she uses Medela flanges with an adapter so she can use it with the Spectra pump. You can get a long stem back flow protector on amazon that goes into the medela flange so you can screw the Dr. Brown bottles directly onto the flange. Or there’s a standard cap adapter for spectra flanges on amazon that you screw into the spectra flange to use the Dr. Brown bottles with the spectra. Hope that makes sense!

How often do you sterilize your parts and bottles?
Girlmom I don’t know if you got your answer but it’s recommended that you sterilize every day.
How much should a baby eat in a feeding
Omg I'm crying for you! I have spilt 3-4 oz before and about died. But 6oz. You really kept it together I probably would've thrown a full on fit on camera. But I'm lucky if I even pump 2 oz a pump session anymore.

Hi! Where did you buy the white/yellow plastic bin in your fridge where you keep the bottles? Thanks!
I think BuyBuyBaby, they come in the pumping starter kit by Medela
Did you like the milk savers?
So you don’t clean parts after every pump session?
How many times a day do you pump?
spectra vs medela can you please tell me what madd you choose one over the other and how was the extraction results on both. Thankyou
What age is Luca at the time of this video?
What brand eyeshadow are you wearing!? Looks beautiful!
Pumping while watching! As an EPer, I’m loving your series :)
What is power pumping?

Some people don’t need to pump at night to maintain supply, I think it just depends on the person. I dropped my middle of the night pump at 9 weeks and I still pump 55+ ounces a day with five sessions.
my heart hurt when I saw you drop that milk, I dropped 2oz the other night right in my bed & literally cried, so imagine dropping SIX whole ounces. 😭
My haakaa fell off last night and spilled about 2 oz and I had a full meltdown.... I can't even begin to imagine 6oz......
What do you use to defrost the milk?
I love your videos. Can you please make a video on your pumps since i see you combined madela parts and spectra pump...would love to see breakdown to better understand. Thank you so much
How do we know like how much new born eat or feed with milk. If formula or Brest milk so in bottle how much once should we prepared for new born bottle?
What is the item you use in your fridge for storage?!
would you wash post only once a day
This is so old, but, everybody has told me the best time to power pump, is in the morning. But I just can’t bring myself to do it because that’s when I get the most milk. And I feel like, if I’m not pumping the whole time, I’m not going to get as much. But I definitely need to do something because my milk supply has decreased within the past month. My daughter is eight weeks tomorrow, so I haven’t been pumping that long. But I am also an exclusive pumper. So every little bit of milk I can get, counts. When you power pump, did you do it in the morning? I’ve never been able to get 15 ounces in a pump. The most I ever got was 10. But I feel like if I were to power pump, I would only get like 3 or 4 ounces because you obviously have to rest so the amount of milk you would get out during that resting phase, you won’t get when you are power pumping. 😭😭😩 did power pumping make a difference in your supply? If so, I may just bite the bullet and do it. Also, do you have to do it in the morning? Or could you do it anytime?
Thanks for sharing!! I'm exclusively pumping for my 4 month old and I just found your channel and so excited for it! How does the milk savers work? Are they worth it?
Hi there... I’m just watching your video and I wanna ask you that will my milk supply go down if I pump twice a day? Can I rebuild my milk supply again by pumping often times? Pls let me know about this
It’s 3am rn watching random videos lol I’m not prego or planning to be. But now I know how to do this stuff 😂
way to give very concentrated milk?
How often do you pump every 2 hours?
Hallo ..what is the name of the application?
When you dropped your milk i felt that! I cry each time i drop like a drop of milk! .. do you only pump ? Or breast feed and pump?
Baby tracker is a free app and tracks everything related to the baby.
Huckleberry is also a free and good app! They have a special subscription for like sleep consultation for baby. But the app can still be used for free and no pop up ads. I love it
Do you not wash and sanitise your parts after every pump?? Just wondering cos I do and of course it’s very daunting. I’m a new mum with a 4 week old so if I can take short cuts then I need to know 😂😝
At first I did! But I found out I only have to do it once daily. It was so relieving hahaha. Congrats on your new baby!
Wonderfully Ale omg this is amazing to hear yay! Thank you so much
I'm only getting an ounce off each side when I pump,, any tips on how to increase supply?
this is normal, most people have what they call a “slacker”!!
Can u pls tell me how did you used your medella’s product to fit in spectra ? And how to use small neck bottles in spectra
On amazon look for medela adapters. Then you can use medela parts with the spectra
Whenever I use the lansinoh bags they leak out the bottom. kiinde is the best, followed by the target brand with the owl on them
Really?! The kiinde and lansinoh are my favorite! I’ve never had issues with the lansinoh!
Oh man. If you had cried or cursed when that milk spilled I don’t think anyone would have judged you! You are such a rockstar. Saw that you were sick this week. Feel better xx
haha I'm surprised I didn't haha I'm feeling a little better! But now I've gotta take care of Luka!
Do you wash your pump parts once a day? I wash with soap and hot water after every use and it's so time consuming! If I don't have to every time it would save me some time during the day.
If you put them in a ziplock bag in the fridge between uses, you only have to wash once at night.
From where to get healthy nursing tea... pls comment
Please advise about the milk collection cups that go in the bra...really interested in that to use in between naptime when not nursing.
I just found your channel looking for exclusive pumpers. I have a baby with CHD on a feeding tube exclusively because she has a vocal cord paralyzed open from her first heart surgery. She also had a fundoplication done which caused a hypersensitive gag reflex. So, learning to eat orally just can't happen yet. It is impossibly difficult to find people online exclusively pumping for a tube fed baby/medical reasons. I recently had a round of mastitis which cut my milk supply in HALF! Despite pumping very often, I believe it was a supplement I was taking to help with the infection management. I am now doing power pumping trying to increase my supply again. My daughter is only 3 months and she has a very limited volume due to her heart condition (awaiting the next "big" heart surgery, needs to grow more!). She only gets 576 mL a day. We fortify with formula to a higher calorie. Even at half my supply, I produce enough for a day and then a little more. There is so much pressure, I feel, on women to make these massive freezer stashes on top of what they already breastfeed their babies. I find a lot of them end up donating the milk or never getting through it. I have to remember that if I make enough for her to eat in a day, we are golden. Thank you for taking the time to film all this for people like me!
How old is the baby here?
Do you pump 15 mints from each side?
*Watching her drop 6 oz on the floor* And THATS why I instantly lid the freaking things, even when I'm not quite done pouring and have to turn around or look away for any reason, because the more paranoid I am about dropping them, the more I'm prone to spilling. Worst feeling in the world.
I’m a FTM, she’s 3 weeks old. I have the spectra2 but can only pump 2-3 oz an hour. I have decent milk supply because if I hand express, it squirts everywhere. I was told the flange may be too big but please help if you can! Thanks
That's actually a lot, for only 3 weeks! If you can't see a lactation consultant to assess your flange size, you can just try ordering a smaller size of if Amazon! I also have a Spectra and even though I have G cup boobs, I need the 19mm flanges! Nipples come in all shapes and sizes, but if your areola is getting sucked into your flange, it's too big!
My Madela malfunction and backflow into the tube so I got a spectra from buybuy baby. The spectra is so much better.
How do you use your Medela parts with your Spectra? I just bought a Spectra and I didn’t even know you could do that!
Spencer Lauren I agree! I had no idea you could! I have a spectra pump too
Long stem backflow protectors plug right into your medela connectors 😊
Do you have different adapter accessories for your spectra? How are you able to pump into a Dr Brown or madela bottle? My spectra Falange only fits wide neck bottles so I can only pump into the spectra bottles 😞
AnnaV4710 she’s using a hack to hook her spectra pump to her other bottles. You can find it on pinterest or google.
Also, you can get the big Avent bottles and they fit the spectra flanges!
She has two pumps, she provably takes adapters from Medela and uses it with Spectra. The tubing is The same in every pump.
How did you start pumping to store while still feeding baby? I pump enough to try to store it, but my 2 week old eats so much he ends up eating more than i can pump
Wait! How are you using the spectra with different parts? I have a spectra and hate it because I cant make it hands free 😱
I found the adapter on amazon. Seriously life savers. Buy the adapters to use the medela parts. Life changing.
my babydad thru out all my freezer supply which had over a weeks worth of food out and i almost killed him. It hurts your heart even losing a drop
Oh when you dropped the bottle 😭😭...I lost a full one when I didn't get the cap on tight and it got knocked over in the fridge. I cried while cleaning it up.
Noooo! That's the worst!
I do that too cry so much lol
I cried over an ounce that i spilled on the bed a couple weeks ago...right after i got done pumping it!!
Omggg I felt your pain when your milk spilled.
I do have a question. How did you like those milk savers? Im pumping and nursing my 5 week old and was wondering about those.
Can i ask you a question dear? I have a low milk supply since my 3 months old baby is refusing breastfeeding. I'm having 10ml each time i pump. Can i increase it or no? And how?
Eat oatmeal in the mornings
My baby has just got 1 month old, I am getting 60 milliter in 4 hours pumping period... is that normal ? Is the quantity going to increase gradually over the months that my baby growes ??
I have a 5 week old and exhaustion must be getting to me, because this WHOLE video i thought the title said 900 OUNCES 🤣🤣🤣 I was like “I gotta see this shit...” and then I kept waiting thinking you must have been pumping every hour some crazy amount and not updating! Omg my brain, I need sleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is the storing bags reusable ??
No, one time use only
