Are you weaning and transitioning her to cows milk or some other alternative milk or are you still looking to keep her on breastmilk?

At one year I was weaning to DD1 to whole milk and was down to...

Don't give up yet!

I agree it is very tempting to give in to pumping with oversupply (especially since you're an experianced pumper). Keep at it! It's terribly frustrating in the beginning. My LO...

I could use a little advice on how to adjust our evening "schedule" for solids. I would essentially want DD2 to be at the table and eating table food at family dinner time but she usually doesn't...

Wow that's a lot of milk! I agree, if baby is nursing well stop pumping and only pump for comfort when needed and not until empty. I also EPed for a year and am now nursing and also found it is very...

Don't know if I can link to facebook. So I'll try and copy/paste. So proud to be one of his donating milk mommas. If you have oversupply and have ever thought about donating, please look into it....

IMO the reason why you get more the first time you pump is that you are also removing the milk that your LO didn't finish the last time you nursed him/her at home. I pump 20 minutes after my LO...

Sounds like the situation I was in. I don't have much advice but I can tell you waht happened to me. I let my left side heal "trying to" pump on that side every time DD2 fed from the good side. I was...

I do the same thing. DD2 wants to go to bed at 7:00 but we don't go to bed until 9:00. She sleeps about 4 hours a stretch. So I feed her between 6 and 7 and she sleeps downstairs with us while we...

My trip was a 4 hour drive so I brought a cooler with an ice block in it and used the mini-fridge in the room. I brought a 32 ounce Nalgen bottle to combine all the milk for the 2 days and not take...

How did the trip go?

They survived!

DD2 did not want to take a bottle from Dad. She was up every 1/2 hour through the night, just waiting for me to come home. DH said he got 1 hour and 1.5 hours of longer sleep...

I have oversupply on one side only. I pump about 10-15 ounce more than DD2 eats in 9 hours at daycare. I currently pump after nursing in the morning at 6:15 and get between 5-8 ounces, then pump at...

Good luck! I leave for my trip early Thursday morning and will be back Friday around dinner. So the girls get 1 night and 1 morning with Dad. Just hoping he's stocking up on his patience this week.

DD2 is 4 months old and next week I have to take an overnight trip and will be gone two full days and one night.

I'm not concerned about me pumping or having enough milk (we've got tons).

I'm...

Also check your insurance, with the healthcare changes pumps are now covered by insurance depending on your policy. I got a new Medela PISA in October fully covered by my insurance.

Yes you can use the same pump parts all day if you refrigerate them.

I use the playtex drop-ins but have never used the bm storage stuff. I didn't read very good reviews for it.

I wash nipples...

Wow 8 times a day! I EPed with DD1 and I have a large capacity and was down to 4x a day at 3 months old (yeilding 35 ounces) and 3x a day at 5 months old. I stayed at 3x a day until she was 10...

Making progress!

They've started offering bottles every 2.5 hours and she seems to doing ok with it. We had 2 days with 12 ounces total. Yeah! I've been trying to slowly increase the bottles and...

I would agree with the previous posters. Don't make a decision now, every baby is different. Just see how it goes this time and make a decision when the time comes.

I sucessfully EPed my first...

My DD is 15 weeks and is still waking up 2x a night. We do not co-sleep. She usually goes to sleep in my arms downstairs about 7:00ish and I wake her up enough to feed her again about 8:45. Then we...

Donated 432 ounces to a family with a special needs little boy who is unable to nurse due to his condition. It felt really good to see my milk going to such a good cause. We've set up an ongoing...

They are feeding her on demand but usually every 3 hours. She is happy with 2.5 ounces and they even have a hard time getting her to take the last 1/2 ounce. I'd put more in the bottles but the...

Three weeks into daycare and she's still a little stuffy and is taking (4) 2.5 ounce bottles, and nursing 4-5 times a day. I do not want her to reverse cycle and am trying to cut out one of the...

Unfortunately as I've also found, licensed large daycares have some idiodic rules that breastmilk or formula has be tossed if the baby does not consume it within one hour. My DD2 started daycare...

My DD is a little over 3 months and is away from me at daycare for 12 hours a day. 6:15am to 6:00pm. In that time she's only taking between 8-10 ounces. So under the 1-1.5 ounce/hour. She also nurses...
