started pumping today,giving up already

Awwww..I feel sorry for you...

Don't feel bad about not pumping...Since you are stressed out and tired may be that's the reason for no let down!!! JMO

Hope Zoey feels better and hope you can start pumping soon...

 

Poonam,

Hugs to you and you will be back soon...I too had the same problem like urs, got frustrated and finally gave up pumping...but again i started from last saturday with DH's help with good music, you know what i pumped 1.5 oz in just 5 mins that too mine is a manual pump...
So dont worry you will do it very soon...:thumbsup

Mommies,
I had an appointment with my ENT yesterday and left DS with my mom. Pumped 3.5 Oz and asked mom to feed him. He screamed like anything and hence mom was not able to feed him through 'Paaladai', so she tried bottling him...you know what without any prb DS had BM through bottle...
I have a question now, this is the first time we bottle fed him, how would i know how much should i pump for one time. If i over pump and DS didnt had that much, can i keep it for next time?

 

Padmini - I think 2.5-3 oz per feed is good. Also it depends on how many feeds he takes per day.
Please check the 'Is she hungry' thread.
