I wish you talked about the growth spurts because it is the reason why a lot of women give up breastfeeding as they think they just dry up. It works by 3-6-9. At 3-6-9 days, 3-6-9 weeks and most importantly 3-6-9 months, baby needs to feed a lot more. They ask for the boob intensively for about 2 days. The mother's body doesn't have time to adjust to it straight away, so they might not get all the milk that they want to have. But that's ok, and because of supply and demand, the body is going to get the information that it needs to produce more. And after a couple of days, everything is back to normal. The supply of milk meets the baby's demand. SO many women give up breastfeeding when baby is 3 months old because they think they don't produce enough. I wish mothers knew about this.
I love this hopefully women read this. So many women give up because they think they are not producing enough. This can also happen during the evening time. Some women also pump and think thats all they have so they stop.
My son is 12 weeks now and he's drinking more than I'm producing and I'm doing everything.. I'm not gonna lie i would pump only when my breast would start leaking so my supply is low right now but I'm back to pumping pumping pumping because I can't give up i gotta get my supply back ... Thank you for letting us ftm know not to give up
Wow. This literally saved me. Baby is about to be at 6weeks. And during 3weeks I was having to give him formula while I was power pumping. I thought I was going insane thinking I lost my supply. Then the following week I had graduation and wasn’t able to feed all day... which messed up my supply even more. Finally getting back on track now
OMG I miss that stage already and my baby isn’t even 2 yet. Oye but if you’re doing on demand, don’t count the minutes on each boob, it’s better to feed as long as baby wants and then offer the other and on the next feed start with the last one you offered. And make sure you give him as much he/she wants every time all day all night, seems like forever but for the first weeks it’s importantísimo to establish your milk supply. Cómo dice Dulce, it’s supply and demand and the baby sucking, plus feeling him close and the enzymes in his saliva are the best way. Try not to pump early, it’s better after week six. Dulce has a specific situation and that’s why she is doing it this way ❤️ enjoy your baby much and congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
I think the only thing i would add to this is pumping is breastfeeding. So all the pumping moms don’t feel any less!! 💕💕Just because you are feeding your breastmilk through a bottle doesn’t mean you are not breastfeeding your baby. We are all putting in the work! 💪🏽
That’s me right now ... literally pumping his next feed at each feeding ... the latch just wasn’t there so I exclusively pump .. he’s a big guy so I haven’t really built a stash he literally eats everything I pump in a day
Jennifer S It’s ok momma! Your baby appreciates your milk no matter what! Even the moms who don’t breastfeed. I exclusively pumped my first month. My baby couldn’t take my boob at the time. We were able to latch at week 6. You got this momma. Even if you have to exclusively pump, know that your doing the best that you can for your baby! The best thing you can do is give your baby a happy mom 💕
With a pump don t forget you will never have the same amount ( it s less ) . The best to get out all the milk is a baby . Also forget you watch . You make this sound your in the army again .
Hi! This is GREAT to hear! My son will be 6 weeks in a few days and I exclusively breastfeed! Out of no where, my supply dropped two days ago!!! I would love for him to latch. To hear your baby latched at six weeks gives me hope! May I ask, what was that process like? How did you get your baby to finally latch at 6 weeks? Thanks!!
I appreciate you saying this! I tried to breastfeed my baby girl but she had a tongue tie and as a first time mom I wasn’t equipped with the tools that I needed to get her to latch. So I’m now an exclusive pumping mommy.
Second time breast feeding over here and so much easier this time around. First time I was so nervous not knowing if baby was getting enough and taking so much supplements and eating stuff that really wasn’t needed and it made me pack on the pounds. I think we see all these mommas pumping and storing insane amounts of milk and good for them but the reality is most people unless they’re spending tons of time away from their baby don’t wed to do that. You don’t always have to have a stash of milk. The reason I mention this is because I believe this is why a lot of moms gets discouraged and think they don’t make enough milk when they actually do and by the way what you see in your pump is not what you actually have in your boob and some women aren’t responsive to the pump so you can pump and pump and not see much and just give up. I almost did until I started paying attention to baby and she was having tons of wet diapers and real good weight gain which is what you want to see. I drink lots of water now and make my own oatmeal cookies and that’s about it. Please don’t think you need to do all these things and all these supplements to get milk. Some mommas may actually not produce enough but that’s actually the exception and not rule and you want to be careful with pumping you don’t want to create an over supply I know it sounds like something good but it can be a nightmare. Just eat well drink lots of fluids and put the baby to the breast frequently and as long as you’re getting lots of wet diapers and baby looks happy and is gaining weight you are just fine. Well this was way longer than I intended it to be but hope it helps someone.
Thanks for your comment. I hope it will help a lot of worried mothers. Breastfeeding is not as hard as it may seem. You said it all. The key is simply to feed often. Trust yourselves, mommas !
Keila McFadden yes!! No shame to mommas who do all the extra things to get more milk but when I was a first timer I thought I had to do those things and I thought I had to have a huge stash of milk and it almost made me quit
Nice and simple! The way you said it! I was watching video and was stressing out about sitting for actual nursing and then pumping and then watching my other kids and cooking and what not... i think its best the way nature intended it... baby cries, give them the boob..
Awesome video! I have been exclusively pumping for my baby boy since February 25th when he was born. I unfortunately haven’t been able to nurse him since he was born at 24 weeks 6 days and had a very hard time learning to feed. Pumping can be so energy draining but being able to give my baby my breast milk is the best feeling ever!
Your doing amazing! I also am exclusively pumping its def one of the hardest things ive ever done I've had so many clogged ducts but trying to continue hoepfully until he is 6 months old he is 3 months adjusted.. your not alone it def is draining I cried alot wishing you the best easy pumping journey
I know just how you feel my baby girl was born at 30 weeks the nurses doctors all say pump every two hours as if your baby was home and needed to feed, honestly it’s hard cause my baby isn’t home so to get up in the middle of the night was draining especially when I’m driving back and forth to the hospital twice a day to visit her in the nicu. But your right giving the breast milk is the best especially for them being born so early which is why I do . The lactation counselor are so awesome when you start to nurse definitely have one come and help.
Long comment but worth it!! Red meat (not lean chicken, we need fatty protein), eggs, walnuts, red raisins, blue Gatorade and 60 ounces of water a day did wonders for my supply, and helped my milk maintain the fat needed to help the baby pack on the weight. Went from 1.5 ounces from both breast to 12 ounces overall every 3 hours. If you lay the ground work at the beginning it becomes easier in the long haul. I started feeding/pumping 7 sessions at first and was able to cut down to 5 sessions after 3 months with 3 of those pumps happening while at work! You have to make your body work smarter not harder for you. So the more your baby demand milk, the more it’ll tell your body to make more, even if nothing’s happening at first. And also remember, for some women your supply won’t come in for up to 8-10 weeks after the baby is born! Don’t be so hard on yourself if you have to give the baby formula. It’s not the end of the world but don’t give up if on breastfeeding if you can, as your passing on your immune system to the baby, plus you’ll lose a ton of weight as an added bonus!
Loved this video. I feel the same way about breastfeeding, I just enjoy it so much. I am proud to be able to still do it, and I am proud of all the mamas who continue to do it also. It’s such hard work and we should get merit badges for it!
Shannon B our body are done for that. You didn’t have one because you get pregnant? In USA you change everything. Feeding your baby and having a medal ? Nonsense !
Omg I finally found your channel again I used to watch you back when I was in 5th grade (I’m 25 now and now have a baby and breastfeeding) i love how you’re expanding more than just makeup!!
Great information provided. I’ve been a nicu nurse for 8 1/2 years and am currently working on getting my lactation consultant certification. I’ve worked along side LCs for 8 1/2 years. So lots of what dulce said is great helpful information. I do want to add though please follow American academy of pediatric guidelines when it comes to proper sleep items for babies. As well the mother milk tea has a side effect I’ve seen personally many times is bloody stools so just be cautious when taking it. Look into local lactation consultants available to people in your area. And lastly someone commented about formula reducing supply. That’s not true I gave my daughter formula for a month until we got a schedule and milk supply was best. I never pumped extra to increase my supply I just made sure I breastfed first all the time. All women are different, I’ve seen plenty of moms who actually have a condition that does not allow them to have breastmilk and weren’t aware that was possible. In the end Just remember FED IS BEST!
I have two kids and I’m pregnant right now. I did not breastfed neither kid. I pumped and pumped at the hospital with my first and nothing came out just 2 drops. And for my second I just gave up figured i don’t have milk because neither do my dads sisters give milk. Right now I am so confident I can get milk because watching women like Dulce Candy provide ideas and encourage not to give up but I do have that doubt,that maybe I cannot supply. 😒🤔 maybe I am one of those women who cannot at all breastfeed.
Thank you for sharing!! I had a hard time with my first and now that I’m expecting my second baby I want to be on top of getting everything I need to produce enough milk.
Watching this as I pump for my little one I've been exclusively pumping since he was born he is 4months old but 3 months adjusted it's one of the hardest things but I just keep pushing through bc to know my baby is still getting the nutrients make it worth it .. thanks for this video I've been wanting to give up numerous times from clogged ducts it's so painful
I’m an exclusive pumper as well. My son was born 4 weeks early and not able to breathe on his own. He was in the nicu. He’s 6 months now and I have not had to supplement with formula. It’s hard in the beginning but I promise it gets better. I was pumping 10 times a day around the clock when I first started. Now I’m producing less but more than enough for him a day. I was able to create a large stock pile. To avoid clogged ducts I suggest washing your nipples with warmer water after pumping and squeezing your nipples a little to remove the milk drops stuck. Then let them air dry before putting your bra back on. This has helped me so much! I only pump 3x a day now. After I’ve taken care of him in the morning about 9am , 3pm, and 9 pm.
@@lulyb3214 oh wow your doing great! And thank you so much for the tips def going to try that out hearing other peoples stories gives me hope I won't have to pump so much
Aliya it’s hard to say. Everyone is different. How old is your baby ? How many times do you pump and day and are you breastfeeding from your left breast ?
I think your tips are good, but really, it’s not necessary to pump so often. If you can do it, great. But in order to bring in your milk effectively and keep it, is to nurse the baby literally as much as you can throughout the day. I just had my second, and he nursed literally 24/7. He’s 2 months old and my milk supply has never been this good. I’d go crazy having to pump that much. I just don’t want moms to feel that they need to pump THAT much especially if they work full time out of the house. But she’s right, it’s all about supply and demand. It’s the only way.
Agreed. If it helps, I am at 6+ month of breastfeeding my daughter and I pumped only twice in those 6 months. Once for daddy to try feeding her with a bottle (didn't work but it didn't matter for us as I am always there) and once to store 1 portion of milk in the freezer just in case I had an emergency that would separate my daughter and me for a couple of hours. So pumping wasn't necessary, yet my daughter is perfectly healthy, gains weight and gets A LOT of wet nappies/diapers. I was also personally advised not to pump during the first 6 weeks because it would create an over supply and I could risk an engorgement.
@@tiffanymichelle3130 well, we just tried once. I suppose it takes more to get to the baby taking the bottle but I don't know how to do that. As it is not important and relevant in our situation, we are OK with it. Maybe somebody else can advise on that or researching online if that is something that you really want to do (in order to be able to leave the house without your baby).
@@luciemondieujemenfous3594 That's good. However, i'm a full time working mum, so i had to start to pump milk 10 days after my baby was born. I pumped twice a day with the Haakaa pump (while baby was feeding one side, the other boob leaked) so i was able to build a huge stash of freezer milk so that my mum could feed my little one with that while i was at work. Once baby was 3 months old, i had to go to work and i've been pumping at work since then to make sure my supply at home never runs out as i'm aiming for 6 months' exclusive breast milk for my little one. After work, i would just directly breastfeed my baby till the next morning just before i leave for work.
Thank you for the tips. New mommy here and breastfeeding has been stressful! My little guy was only 5lbs 6oz so we were recommended to formula feed him too to bring his weight up. With that being said we bottle feed too and I never thought about the nipple!! Now it makes sense as to why he gets so angry when milk doesn’t come out as fast from my breast! Definitely changing the nipples in the bottles!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awww🥺 the message at the end was so encouraging. Thank you Dulce 😘 and also, Jesse is the real MVP to massage you while you’re nursing! Way to go daddy- that’s a partnership right there 💪🏽 massaging is great and it prevents mastitis!
Love this video, I dont have a newborn anymore but I breastfed my youngest for 3 years. It gets easier ladies, stay strong mamas who are having a hard time 💕💪🏼
Thank you so much for this information. I’ve been struggling to breastfeed and struggling with my milk supply. This has helped a lot and hopefully I can get to where you are
I'm not even a mum yet and this gave me insight, I'm looking forward to motherhood knowing there is amazing info like this... it got me excited xx ♥ You're beautiful
This works if you are able lucky enough to breastfeed. My son wouldn't latch so I've been pumping with the same Medela in style for almost 6 months. My supply has tanked so bad. I literally was set to quit pumping 4 days ago because I was only able to pump 10-12 oz a day the last 6 weeks where it had been 20 oz before that. But I decided last minute to try the spectra pump. I'm hoping it will help increase my supply. It pumps similar to the Medela symphony that the hospital loaned me before I got the in style through insurance.
Breastfeeding my son that’s a week younger than your son while watching this video. Went through the baby blues and it was tough. I get a lot of milk and my son occasionally chokes from having so much. I would get so scared and frustrated.... Low supply to high supply we all have our challenges. Thankfully I’ve found a routine and I’m now donating my extra milk to mommas that are in need. Having one to two or more children it’s never the same experience we’re always learning. So thankful for the mommas that let us know we’re not alone 💙
Thank you for this video Dulce! I was completely using my Hakaa wrong and gave up on its after a couple tries but when I went back to it the proper way you showed us LOL it works without any pain I’m so happy! My let down is so much more using it the right way haha. BF is a reward! Our bodies are amazing. And I love knowing I’m doing good for my baby. I’m so glad I didn’t give up the first couple days because IT DOES GET BETTER! Im on week 2 with me newborn
I love how confident you are with this video Dulce!! I was so excited to finally watch this. My secret was the Costco Kirkland organic coconut water in the HUGE like 1 liter bottles!! You're kicking ass. Keep it up!!
What! Costco has that! I love coconut water but I was tired of spending $3 for a small bottle when I’m on a tight budget already. I’m allergic to body armor and Gatorade so I can’t drink that to help my supply. Now I’m going to be going to Costco
Hi Dulce, and others who are reading, just wanting to let everyone know that the SNOO is not safe for sleeping. Vibrations reduces babies arousal state which increases the chance of SIDS. All restraints in bassinets are prohibited and will never pass bassinet safety standards.
cindynickol makes sense. I always felt weary of a baby sleeping in something that rocks and moves all night. And I’d think with the rocking, the baby wouldn’t naturally wake up to eat in the beginning. Idk. 🤷🏻♀️
I haven’t seen anything that supports your claim. Mind citing your sources? To be fair, the company claims to reduce the risk of SIDS by ensuring babies sleep on their backs but I didn’t find any evidence either for this claim.
@@SCorey-vt4ri Yes! The SNOO is promoted as safe by Dr. Karp. That's the same guy who has made a lot of money promoting babies sleeping swaddled in swings up to six months as safe, and we all know how unsafe that turned out to be (CPSC 2019 inclined sleeper recalls). The SNOO with its positioner isn’t safe and doesn’t pass safety standards as a bassinet while the positioner is in place. FDA CPSC joint warning against the use of any and all infant sleep positioners explicitly lists all "anti-roll products", including the ones you strap the baby into. www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/do-not-use-infant-sleep-positioners-due-risk-suffocation?fbclid=IwAR2SmNoa0UF_SgN6ipYHjl5tSXkm7KrvCTVUgmVKVpOlU9l-gkGwv-877Ac For the vibrating feature safety - in mandatory safety regulation for rocking cradles and gliding bassinets, it is explicitly stated that they are safety tested for sleep only in a locked position, both horizontally and vertically. www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Bassinets-and-Cradles?fbclid=IwAR3As3l3dw89W6bmyxg0JeC0KqMHtcWeKUst9GbXwZQeqnuyIXpx0q3MzRM
Not only that, a momma that I follow made some really good points about it that really resonated with me and made think. It’s important to not lose ourselves in all these products they make to make our lives “easier more convenient” because babies have needs specially newborns and I know cause I have a 3 month old too. “I have never been a fan of this product. It is designed to replace and replicate what a baby needs. It’s mother! I don’t want anything to replace me. I am the pacifier. I am the soother. I am the comforter. Most babies don’t sleep throughout the night. Babies wake up frequently because they need to. The purpose of the SNOO is to keep a baby from waking and crying. A baby has to wake up every few hours to feed. A product that encourages a baby to sleep for longer periods of time is not physiologically advantageous for either safety or feeding purposes.” -Dr.Courtney
Wow, this video is so informative! I saved it for when I get pregnant with my second because honest to God I already forgot the drill on breastfeeding. And my first just turned 3. Sadly, I stopped at 4 months the first time. My tip based on what I did wrong is never stop giving the boob, always offer your breast first and try to relax and make it a bonding moment. I associated breastfeeding with stress and I know I sent a message and atmosphere of stress to my baby, on the other hand when feeding him breastmilk in a bottle I had zero stress. He soon stopped taking my breast and wanted only the bottle and my breastmilk of course stopped coming in so I had to formula feed after really and honestly giving up out of the stress of it all. I basically stressed myself for no reason until exhaustion. I hope this helps someone. I know for my second, I’ll know at least what NOT to do. Don’t stress babes! You got this! Xoxo Edit: After finishing this video now I know I also committed the error of giving the regular sized nipple when bottle feeding. So I made it easier to bottle feed than breastfeed. Wow Dulce, this video is GOLD. Thank you so much bella!
I got a knock off of the Hakka and it totally works too. I get about two ounces of milk each time is crazy. I got it cause I noticed my pads where súper full. No more milk going to waste now
Gr8 tips Nuk bottles are just like mom !! Even the flow they have to do the work test it turn the bottle upside down none will drip out unless you put pressure on it! Its so cool and it comes out in streams just like mom
I’m not breastfeeding my baby Yet! Currently 29 weeks pregnant with baby #3. Thank you Dulce! I’ve been scouring the Internet for information like this❤️ I’ve got about a 6 pc nugget of info😊 even as a 3rd time mama I’m still learning things I didn’t know before 😁
I'm not pregnant but this is very helpful cause I can know the info of what I gotta know when I do decide to get Prego, and what not to do thank you so much dulce, try milk thistle
Wonderfully done video Dulce, my baby is now 4 months and I struggled with milk supply as well but you hit everything that worked for me. If I could add something else would be having skin to skin with baby for an hour per day. After doing skin to skin my supply increased noticeably, just try different positions where your sore breasts wont get scratched by baby. Best of luck to all the new mommas, be patient don’t stress you are doing amazing. 🥰😘😘
I was curious, how long did you go through the process of increasing your milk supply. I noticed she didn't mention the length of time. That kind of demand is not sustainable for the long term.
My baby is five weeks today and she straight up refuses the boob 😭💔 I am gonna find preemie nipples!!! SUCH a helpful tip omg!!! Woww. I've been watching youtibe every time I pump for weeks and this is the first two amazing helpful tips I've found that are different and applicable to us!!! And also the pace feeding I've been trying to find tips and wow tysm!!! I am also getting a supplemental nursing system, so I hope she gets back to nursing!!
Such great advice and tips! Only thing I would say is to invest in a better pump! I use baby buddha breast pump it’s so powerful which will extract more milk a lot quicker ☺️☺️
Hola dulce, te sigo desde que estabas en el ejército y nos enseñabas cómo te maquillabas entonces. Hace muchos años ya. Enhorabuena por tu hermosa familia, eres una enorme inspiración para mí
Such a beautiful, informative and inspiring video, Dulce!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us! Blessings and light to you and your sweet fam! xo 🙏🏼💛
This made me feel a relief tbh because it hasn’t been easy to breastfeed my daughter it’s exhausting but I wouldn’t change it in the world because the connection to get with you baby it’s amazing :) thank you for your tips 💓 god bless you and your beautiful family 🙏🏻
The haakaa was amazing the first 2 weeks of my sons birth when I was still trying to breastfeed. It really did catch a lot of the milk I would have just lost. I haven't had to use it after that since I quit trying to breastfeed
I had my baby 10 years ago and i can see now why i failed in my breastfeeding process. And i had no one to help me, because my mom and mother-in-law didn't give me any good advice, even though both of them had more than 1 child. I didn't have a lactation consultant and it wasn't even a thing at that time, where i come from. I wish i was into youtube back then and that i found a video like this.
Omg Dulce I’m so happy you made this video!! There’s so much information out there on breast feeding I didn’t know where to even start I got so overwhelmed and I was about to give up bc my milk supply started going down. But you made this video straight to the point and I learned so much from it thank you! I’m going to try everything you mentioned 😃 God bless your beautiful family💖
Woow thankyou soo much for all the tips and info Candy!! My baby is 3 months old and Iam breast and bottle feeding him. And ever since he was born my milk supply is very low🥺 thanks Iam going to be doing the pumping starting today.
My baby is 3weeks old his breastfed mostly. Having a hard time staying consistent with pumping cause I was a little discouraged by the amount I was getting out, and I also have other children to take care of n house chores . Little bit of laziness too. So do you have to pump?? I try to nurse him as much and stay hydrated. Definitely understand your video. The more you empty out the breast the body will make more milk
You only have to pump if your trying to increase your milk supply or you are returning to work and need to make a freezer stash. Otherwise if you feed your baby on demand your body will adapt to their needs. Also remember the amount you pump is not an indicator of how much milk you have.
Omg I haven’t seen your videos in a long time! The last one I remember you were vlogging driving in your car woooow I’m currently trying to increase my supply after it decreased after my maternity leave
Hi dulce, was wondering what formula you feed your baby ? I myself had my baby 36 weeks. He just turned 1 month this past Monday. Breastfeeding is a challenge for me and milk supply as well, I’m trying everything so thank u for this video. I’m having to do 90% formula and 10% breast milk I noticed my baby doesn’t like powder so I have to do liquid formula and still be fighting it. So stressful and formula you suggest? Currently on Enfamil the purple one, the regular yellow one was too much for my baby.
I have the same pump as you and I was wondering if you use a pump bra with it and do you usually pump both at the same time? Also watched this while pumping lol
Breastfeeding was so painful for me as well. I would cry while I nursed my son. What helped me a lot were the nipple shields. The mothers tea helped also. But IDK if it was the tea or the warmth of it that caused a let down. Definitely worth the effort tho 🥰 Loved the bonding time with my babies.
You do not have to pump. As long as you are feeding your baby on demand your supply will be exactly what your baby needs. Pumping tells your body that the baby needs more than it is drinking. This can cause engorgment and may even lead to clogged ducts/mastitis if you don’t continue emptying your breasts as often as you are. Mommas need rest and sleep. Feeding every 2 hours and then still pumping can get very exhausting very soon.
I am having a problem my baby is drinking milk on only one side breast and my milk supply is very low. Can you please help so that my baby start taking both breast
Alright I have to day two things that happen to me that is definitely different then yours.. by that, all babies are different. The haakah does not or did not work on me unless the baby on breast. The letdown has to be stimulated. Other then that they don’t work. The second one is that I had to much milk coming out that my nipples were giving the baby more milk the then nipple I’m the bottle. So thanks fully I don’t have a problem on using bottle and breast :)
I wish you talked about the growth spurts because it is the reason why a lot of women give up breastfeeding as they think they just dry up.
It works by 3-6-9. At 3-6-9 days, 3-6-9 weeks and most importantly 3-6-9 months, baby needs to feed a lot more. They ask for the boob intensively for about 2 days. The mother's body doesn't have time to adjust to it straight away, so they might not get all the milk that they want to have. But that's ok, and because of supply and demand, the body is going to get the information that it needs to produce more. And after a couple of days, everything is back to normal. The supply of milk meets the baby's demand.
SO many women give up breastfeeding when baby is 3 months old because they think they don't produce enough. I wish mothers knew about this.
I love this hopefully women read this. So many women give up because they think they are not producing enough. This can also happen during the evening time. Some women also pump and think thats all they have so they stop.
Lucie mondieujemenfous yes! there should be more information towards cluster feeding, I had no idea until I saw my aunt
My son is 12 weeks now and he's drinking more than I'm producing and I'm doing everything.. I'm not gonna lie i would pump only when my breast would start leaking so my supply is low right now but I'm back to pumping pumping pumping because I can't give up i gotta get my supply back ... Thank you for letting us ftm know not to give up
Wow. This literally saved me. Baby is about to be at 6weeks. And during 3weeks I was having to give him formula while I was power pumping. I thought I was going insane thinking I lost my supply. Then the following week I had graduation and wasn’t able to feed all day... which messed up my supply even more. Finally getting back on track now
Watching this as I breastfeed my newborn daughter. This couldn’t have come at a better time and was much needed! Thank you, Dulce! ❤️
That is great! Good that this is beneficial to you during this timeframe.
Hi Mama! Same (except currently pumping 😅). We got this!
OMG I miss that stage already and my baby isn’t even 2 yet. Oye but if you’re doing on demand, don’t count the minutes on each boob, it’s better to feed as long as baby wants and then offer the other and on the next feed start with the last one you offered. And make sure you give him as much he/she wants every time all day all night, seems like forever but for the first weeks it’s importantísimo to establish your milk supply. Cómo dice Dulce, it’s supply and demand and the baby sucking, plus feeling him close and the enzymes in his saliva are the best way. Try not to pump early, it’s better after week six. Dulce has a specific situation and that’s why she is doing it this way ❤️ enjoy your baby much and congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the advice. Was almost close to throwing in the towel but your video inspired me to try again so here I go. Thx again.
I think the only thing i would add to this is pumping is breastfeeding. So all the pumping moms don’t feel any less!! 💕💕Just because you are feeding your breastmilk through a bottle doesn’t mean you are not breastfeeding your baby. We are all putting in the work! 💪🏽
That’s me right now ... literally pumping his next feed at each feeding ... the latch just wasn’t there so I exclusively pump .. he’s a big guy so I haven’t really built a stash he literally eats everything I pump in a day
Jennifer S It’s ok momma! Your baby appreciates your milk no matter what! Even the moms who don’t breastfeed. I exclusively pumped my first month. My baby couldn’t take my boob at the time. We were able to latch at week 6. You got this momma. Even if you have to exclusively pump, know that your doing the best that you can for your baby! The best thing you can do is give your baby a happy mom 💕
With a pump don t forget you will never have the same amount ( it s less ) . The best to get out all the milk is a baby . Also forget you watch . You make this sound your in the army again .
Hi! This is GREAT to hear! My son will be 6 weeks in a few days and I exclusively breastfeed! Out of no where, my supply dropped two days ago!!! I would love for him to latch. To hear your baby latched at six weeks gives me hope! May I ask, what was that process like? How did you get your baby to finally latch at 6 weeks? Thanks!!
I appreciate you saying this! I tried to breastfeed my baby girl but she had a tongue tie and as a first time mom I wasn’t equipped with the tools that I needed to get her to latch. So I’m now an exclusive pumping mommy.
Second time breast feeding over here and so much easier this time around. First time I was so nervous not knowing if baby was getting enough and taking so much supplements and eating stuff that really wasn’t needed and it made me pack on the pounds. I think we see all these mommas pumping and storing insane amounts of milk and good for them but the reality is most people unless they’re spending tons of time away from their baby don’t wed to do that. You don’t always have to have a stash of milk. The reason I mention this is because I believe this is why a lot of moms gets discouraged and think they don’t make enough milk when they actually do and by the way what you see in your pump is not what you actually have in your boob and some women aren’t responsive to the pump so you can pump and pump and not see much and just give up. I almost did until I started paying attention to baby and she was having tons of wet diapers and real good weight gain which is what you want to see. I drink lots of water now and make my own oatmeal cookies and that’s about it. Please don’t think you need to do all these things and all these supplements to get milk. Some mommas may actually not produce enough but that’s actually the exception and not rule and you want to be careful with pumping you don’t want to create an over supply I know it sounds like something good but it can be a nightmare. Just eat well drink lots of fluids and put the baby to the breast frequently and as long as you’re getting lots of wet diapers and baby looks happy and is gaining weight you are just fine. Well this was way longer than I intended it to be but hope it helps someone.
Thanks for your comment. I hope it will help a lot of worried mothers.
Breastfeeding is not as hard as it may seem. You said it all. The key is simply to feed often.
Trust yourselves, mommas !
This! So so important mamas know this! You make what your baby needs to eat! That’s what’s normal! ❤️
Keila McFadden yes!! No shame to mommas who do all the extra things to get more milk but when I was a first timer I thought I had to do those things and I thought I had to have a huge stash of milk and it almost made me quit
Nice and simple! The way you said it!
I was watching video and was stressing out about sitting for actual nursing and then pumping and then watching my other kids and cooking and what not... i think its best the way nature intended it... baby cries, give them the boob..
Thank you for this ❤️
Awesome video!
I have been exclusively pumping for my baby boy since February 25th when he was born. I unfortunately haven’t been able to nurse him since he was born at 24 weeks 6 days and had a very hard time learning to feed. Pumping can be so energy draining but being able to give my baby my breast milk is the best feeling ever!
Wow! You're doing great ❤
MegStar08 thank you!! ♥️
Your doing amazing! I also am exclusively pumping its def one of the hardest things ive ever done I've had so many clogged ducts but trying to continue hoepfully until he is 6 months old he is 3 months adjusted.. your not alone it def is draining I cried alot wishing you the best easy pumping journey
Faith121807 thank you! And you are doing amazing as well! It’s hard work but it’s definitely rewarding.
I know just how you feel my baby girl was born at 30 weeks the nurses doctors all say pump every two hours as if your baby was home and needed to feed, honestly it’s hard cause my baby isn’t home so to get up in the middle of the night was draining especially when I’m driving back and forth to the hospital twice a day to visit her in the nicu. But your right giving the breast milk is the best especially for them being born so early which is why I do . The lactation counselor are so awesome when you start to nurse definitely have one come and help.
Long comment but worth it!! Red meat (not lean chicken, we need fatty protein), eggs, walnuts, red raisins, blue Gatorade and 60 ounces of water a day did wonders for my supply, and helped my milk maintain the fat needed to help the baby pack on the weight. Went from 1.5 ounces from both breast to 12 ounces overall every 3 hours. If you lay the ground work at the beginning it becomes easier in the long haul. I started feeding/pumping 7 sessions at first and was able to cut down to 5 sessions after 3 months with 3 of those pumps happening while at work! You have to make your body work smarter not harder for you. So the more your baby demand milk, the more it’ll tell your body to make more, even if nothing’s happening at first. And also remember, for some women your supply won’t come in for up to 8-10 weeks after the baby is born! Don’t be so hard on yourself if you have to give the baby formula. It’s not the end of the world but don’t give up if on breastfeeding if you can, as your passing on your immune system to the baby, plus you’ll lose a ton of weight as an added bonus!
Loved this video. I feel the same way about breastfeeding, I just enjoy it so much. I am proud to be able to still do it, and I am proud of all the mamas who continue to do it also. It’s such hard work and we should get merit badges for it!
Shannon B our body are done for that.
You didn’t have one because you get pregnant?
In USA you change everything.
Feeding your baby and having a medal ? Nonsense !
Omg I finally found your channel again I used to watch you back when I was in 5th grade (I’m 25 now and now have a baby and breastfeeding) i love how you’re expanding more than just makeup!!
Great information provided. I’ve been a nicu nurse for 8 1/2 years and am currently working on getting my lactation consultant certification. I’ve worked along side LCs for 8 1/2 years. So lots of what dulce said is great helpful information. I do want to add though please follow American academy of pediatric guidelines when it comes to proper sleep items for babies. As well the mother milk tea has a side effect I’ve seen personally many times is bloody stools so just be cautious when taking it. Look into local lactation consultants available to people in your area. And lastly someone commented about formula reducing supply. That’s not true I gave my daughter formula for a month until we got a schedule and milk supply was best. I never pumped extra to increase my supply I just made sure I breastfed first all the time. All women are different, I’ve seen plenty of moms who actually have a condition that does not allow them to have breastmilk and weren’t aware that was possible. In the end Just remember FED IS BEST!
Vanessa Roacho great advice!
I have two kids and I’m pregnant right now. I did not breastfed neither kid. I pumped and pumped at the hospital with my first and nothing came out just 2 drops. And for my second I just gave up figured i don’t have milk because neither do my dads sisters give milk. Right now I am so confident I can get milk because watching women like Dulce Candy provide ideas and encourage not to give up but I do have that doubt,that maybe I cannot supply. 😒🤔 maybe I am one of those women who cannot at all breastfeed.
Thank you for sharing!! I had a hard time with my first and now that I’m expecting my second baby I want to be on top of getting everything I need to produce enough milk.
Really love what you said at the end of your video. No mama should ever feel bad how they feed their baby. I wish more moms would feel this way!
Watching this as I pump for my little one I've been exclusively pumping since he was born he is 4months old but 3 months adjusted it's one of the hardest things but I just keep pushing through bc to know my baby is still getting the nutrients make it worth it .. thanks for this video I've been wanting to give up numerous times from clogged ducts it's so painful
I’m an exclusive pumper as well. My son was born 4 weeks early and not able to breathe on his own. He was in the nicu. He’s 6 months now and I have not had to supplement with formula. It’s hard in the beginning but I promise it gets better. I was pumping 10 times a day around the clock when I first started. Now I’m producing less but more than enough for him a day. I was able to create a large stock pile. To avoid clogged ducts I suggest washing your nipples with warmer water after pumping and squeezing your nipples a little to remove the milk drops stuck. Then let them air dry before putting your bra back on. This has helped me so much! I only pump 3x a day now. After I’ve taken care of him in the morning about 9am , 3pm, and 9 pm.
@@lulyb3214 oh wow your doing great! And thank you so much for the tips def going to try that out hearing other peoples stories gives me hope I won't have to pump so much
Faith121807 thank you 😊 you’re doing great as well! Any breastfeeding\pumping you give to your baby is hard work. You should be proud of
yourself ❤️
How many oz is a good amount per pump? I only get milk from my right breast. I get about 150ml
Aliya it’s hard to say. Everyone is different. How old is your baby ? How many times do you pump and day and are you breastfeeding from your left breast ?
Wonderful advices! As a Lactation Consultant approved! Good job!
I think your tips are good, but really, it’s not necessary to pump so often. If you can do it, great. But in order to bring in your milk effectively and keep it, is to nurse the baby literally as much as you can throughout the day. I just had my second, and he nursed literally 24/7. He’s 2 months old and my milk supply has never been this good. I’d go crazy having to pump that much. I just don’t want moms to feel that they need to pump THAT much especially if they work full time out of the house. But she’s right, it’s all about supply and demand. It’s the only way.
Tiffany Michelle very well said! Congratulations for your baby!
Agreed. If it helps, I am at 6+ month of breastfeeding my daughter and I pumped only twice in those 6 months. Once for daddy to try feeding her with a bottle (didn't work but it didn't matter for us as I am always there) and once to store 1 portion of milk in the freezer just in case I had an emergency that would separate my daughter and me for a couple of hours.
So pumping wasn't necessary, yet my daughter is perfectly healthy, gains weight and gets A LOT of wet nappies/diapers.
I was also personally advised not to pump during the first 6 weeks because it would create an over supply and I could risk an engorgement.
Lucie mondieujemenfous wow, sounds like we had the same experience. My son is almost 3 months and still won’t take a bottle.
@@tiffanymichelle3130 well, we just tried once. I suppose it takes more to get to the baby taking the bottle but I don't know how to do that. As it is not important and relevant in our situation, we are OK with it. Maybe somebody else can advise on that or researching online if that is something that you really want to do (in order to be able to leave the house without your baby).
@@luciemondieujemenfous3594 That's good. However, i'm a full time working mum, so i had to start to pump milk 10 days after my baby was born. I pumped twice a day with the Haakaa pump (while baby was feeding one side, the other boob leaked) so i was able to build a huge stash of freezer milk so that my mum could feed my little one with that while i was at work. Once baby was 3 months old, i had to go to work and i've been pumping at work since then to make sure my supply at home never runs out as i'm aiming for 6 months' exclusive breast milk for my little one. After work, i would just directly breastfeed my baby till the next morning just before i leave for work.
Thank you for the tips. New mommy here and breastfeeding has been stressful! My little guy was only 5lbs 6oz so we were recommended to formula feed him too to bring his weight up. With that being said we bottle feed too and I never thought about the nipple!! Now it makes sense as to why he gets so angry when milk doesn’t come out as fast from my breast! Definitely changing the nipples in the bottles!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awww🥺 the message at the end was so encouraging. Thank you Dulce 😘 and also, Jesse is the real MVP to massage you while you’re nursing! Way to go daddy- that’s a partnership right there 💪🏽 massaging is great and it prevents mastitis!
Love this video, I dont have a newborn anymore but I breastfed my youngest for 3 years. It gets easier ladies, stay strong mamas who are having a hard time 💕💪🏼
Thank you so much for this information. I’ve been struggling to breastfeed and struggling with my milk supply. This has helped a lot and hopefully I can get to where you are
I'm not even a mum yet and this gave me insight, I'm looking forward to motherhood knowing there is amazing info like this... it got me excited xx ♥ You're beautiful
Coming from someone who has their CLC, this is an awesome video with lots of great and FACTUAL information ❤️
I love you Dulce! I have been watching since before you had your first son!
This works if you are able lucky enough to breastfeed. My son wouldn't latch so I've been pumping with the same Medela in style for almost 6 months. My supply has tanked so bad. I literally was set to quit pumping 4 days ago because I was only able to pump 10-12 oz a day the last 6 weeks where it had been 20 oz before that. But I decided last minute to try the spectra pump. I'm hoping it will help increase my supply. It pumps similar to the Medela symphony that the hospital loaned me before I got the in style through insurance.
Nicole Byrne the spectra was 10 times better than the medela. I used it this time and it gets lots out so much faster.
Thank you Cande! You are a burst of light!! I’ve been feeling down and you helped me so much!
Breastfeeding my son that’s a week younger than your son while watching this video. Went through the baby blues and it was tough. I get a lot of milk and my son occasionally chokes from having so much. I would get so scared and frustrated.... Low supply to high supply we all have our challenges. Thankfully I’ve found a routine and I’m now donating my extra milk to mommas that are in need. Having one to two or more children it’s never the same experience we’re always learning. So thankful for the mommas that let us know we’re not alone 💙
I love the haaka! That way you can pump while you nurse!
Thank you for this video Dulce! I was completely using my Hakaa wrong and gave up on its after a couple tries but when I went back to it the proper way you showed us LOL it works without any pain I’m so happy! My let down is so much more using it the right way haha. BF is a reward! Our bodies are amazing. And I love knowing I’m doing good for my baby. I’m so glad I didn’t give up the first couple days because IT DOES GET BETTER! Im on week 2 with me newborn
Your natural hair looks amazingggg , i love it 😍
Love that we were both prego at the same time! I’m enjoying the baby videos so much and this one came at a perfect time! Thanks for the tips Dulce! 💕
I love how confident you are with this video Dulce!! I was so excited to finally watch this. My secret was the Costco Kirkland organic coconut water in the HUGE like 1 liter bottles!! You're kicking ass. Keep it up!!
What! Costco has that! I love coconut water but I was tired of spending $3 for a small bottle when I’m on a tight budget already. I’m allergic to body armor and Gatorade so I can’t drink that to help my supply. Now I’m going to be going to Costco
Oh my god I needed this two weeks ago! I’ve been so stuck on a good routine and this is perfect! Thank you!!!!
Hi Dulce, and others who are reading, just wanting to let everyone know that the SNOO is not safe for sleeping. Vibrations reduces babies arousal state which increases the chance of SIDS. All restraints in bassinets are prohibited and will never pass bassinet safety standards.
cindynickol makes sense. I always felt weary of a baby sleeping in something that rocks and moves all night. And I’d think with the rocking, the baby wouldn’t naturally wake up to eat in the beginning. Idk. 🤷🏻♀️
I haven’t seen anything that supports your claim. Mind citing your sources? To be fair, the company claims to reduce the risk of SIDS by ensuring babies sleep on their backs but I didn’t find any evidence either for this claim.
@@SCorey-vt4ri Yes! The SNOO is promoted as safe by Dr. Karp. That's the same guy who has made a lot of money promoting babies sleeping swaddled in swings up to six months as safe, and we all know how unsafe that turned out to be (CPSC 2019 inclined sleeper recalls). The SNOO with its positioner isn’t safe and doesn’t pass safety standards as a bassinet while the positioner is in place.
FDA CPSC joint warning against the use of any and all infant sleep positioners explicitly lists all "anti-roll products", including the ones you strap the baby into. www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/do-not-use-infant-sleep-positioners-due-risk-suffocation?fbclid=IwAR2SmNoa0UF_SgN6ipYHjl5tSXkm7KrvCTVUgmVKVpOlU9l-gkGwv-877Ac
For the vibrating feature safety - in mandatory safety regulation for rocking cradles and gliding bassinets, it is explicitly stated that they are safety tested for sleep only in a locked position, both horizontally and vertically. www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Bassinets-and-Cradles?fbclid=IwAR3As3l3dw89W6bmyxg0JeC0KqMHtcWeKUst9GbXwZQeqnuyIXpx0q3MzRM
Not only that, a momma that I follow made some really good points about it that really resonated with me and made think. It’s important to not lose ourselves in all these products they make to make our lives “easier more convenient” because babies have needs specially newborns and I know cause I have a 3 month old too.
“I have never been a fan of this product. It is designed to replace and replicate what a baby needs. It’s mother! I don’t want anything to replace me. I am the pacifier. I am the soother. I am the comforter. Most babies don’t sleep throughout the night. Babies wake up frequently because they need to. The purpose of the SNOO is to keep a baby from waking and crying. A baby has to wake up every few hours to feed. A product that encourages a baby to sleep for longer periods of time is not physiologically advantageous for either safety or feeding purposes.” -Dr.Courtney
Wow, this video is so informative! I saved it for when I get pregnant with my second because honest to God I already forgot the drill on breastfeeding. And my first just turned 3. Sadly, I stopped at 4 months the first time. My tip based on what I did wrong is never stop giving the boob, always offer your breast first and try to relax and make it a bonding moment. I associated breastfeeding with stress and I know I sent a message and atmosphere of stress to my baby, on the other hand when feeding him breastmilk in a bottle I had zero stress. He soon stopped taking my breast and wanted only the bottle and my breastmilk of course stopped coming in so I had to formula feed after really and honestly giving up out of the stress of it all. I basically stressed myself for no reason until exhaustion. I hope this helps someone. I know for my second, I’ll know at least what NOT to do. Don’t stress babes! You got this! Xoxo
Edit: After finishing this video now I know I also committed the error of giving the regular sized nipple when bottle feeding. So I made it easier to bottle feed than breastfeed. Wow Dulce, this video is GOLD. Thank you so much bella!
This is probably the best video you have put out. So much good information! Wish I had this when I was struggling with BF
I got a knock off of the Hakka and it totally works too. I get about two ounces of milk each time is crazy. I got it cause I noticed my pads where súper full. No more milk going to waste now
What brand do you use?
I just got it from amazon I’m not sure. It has a pink heart to cover it
Gr8 tips Nuk bottles are just like mom !! Even the flow they have to do the work test it turn the bottle upside down none will drip out unless you put pressure on it! Its so cool and it comes out in streams just like mom
Thank you for sharing all you’ve learned! So insightful and beautiful 🥰
Thank you for this video, my newborn is 3 weeks, I been having a hard time pumping/ help.
Loved this video so much. Couldn’t have come in at a better time. Thank you Dulce 💜
Watching this as I’m pumping. Thank you for this! Never thought about the premie nipple for the bottle feeding so those are being ordered now!
I’m not breastfeeding my baby Yet! Currently 29 weeks pregnant with baby #3. Thank you Dulce! I’ve been scouring the Internet for information like this❤️ I’ve got about a 6 pc nugget of info😊 even as a 3rd time mama I’m still learning things I didn’t know before 😁
I'm not pregnant but this is very helpful cause I can know the info of what I gotta know when I do decide to get Prego, and what not to do thank you so much dulce, try milk thistle
First time mom and this is super helpful.
Wonderfully done video Dulce, my baby is now 4 months and I struggled with milk supply as well but you hit everything that worked for me. If I could add something else would be having skin to skin with baby for an hour per day. After doing skin to skin my supply increased noticeably, just try different positions where your sore breasts wont get scratched by baby. Best of luck to all the new mommas, be patient don’t stress you are doing amazing. 🥰😘😘
I was curious, how long did you go through the process of increasing your milk supply. I noticed she didn't mention the length of time. That kind of demand is not sustainable for the long term.
My baby is five weeks today and she straight up refuses the boob 😭💔 I am gonna find preemie nipples!!! SUCH a helpful tip omg!!! Woww. I've been watching youtibe every time I pump for weeks and this is the first two amazing helpful tips I've found that are different and applicable to us!!! And also the pace feeding I've been trying to find tips and wow tysm!!!
I am also getting a supplemental nursing system, so I hope she gets back to nursing!!
Such great advice and tips! Only thing I would say is to invest in a better pump! I use baby buddha breast pump it’s so powerful which will extract more milk a lot quicker ☺️☺️
Hola dulce, te sigo desde que estabas en el ejército y nos enseñabas cómo te maquillabas entonces. Hace muchos años ya. Enhorabuena por tu hermosa familia, eres una enorme inspiración para mí
Thank you for this video Dulce. Can you tell us how you sanitize you breast pump parts?
Such a beautiful, informative and inspiring video, Dulce!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us! Blessings and light to you and your sweet fam! xo 🙏🏼💛
This made me feel a relief tbh because it hasn’t been easy to breastfeed my daughter it’s exhausting but I wouldn’t change it in the world because the connection to get with you baby it’s amazing :) thank you for your tips 💓 god bless you and your beautiful family 🙏🏻
The haakaa was amazing the first 2 weeks of my sons birth when I was still trying to breastfeed. It really did catch a lot of the milk I would have just lost. I haven't had to use it after that since I quit trying to breastfeed
I had my baby 10 years ago and i can see now why i failed in my breastfeeding process. And i had no one to help me, because my mom and mother-in-law didn't give me any good advice, even though both of them had more than 1 child. I didn't have a lactation consultant and it wasn't even a thing at that time, where i come from. I wish i was into youtube back then and that i found a video like this.
Omg Dulce I’m so happy you made this video!! There’s so much information out there on breast feeding I didn’t know where to even start I got so overwhelmed and I was about to give up bc my milk supply started going down. But you made this video straight to the point and I learned so much from it thank you! I’m going to try everything you mentioned 😃 God bless your beautiful family💖
Thank you for posting this 💓
Thank you for sharing your experience and giving us tips and tricks to breastfeed ❤️ I’m loving your videos lately ❤️
I wish I had this video 15 months ago 😩😩but thank you for sharing and your wonderful words of wisdom 🙏🏼💗💗
Im 10 days PP and I love breastfeeding I’m excited to try this protein shake!
Thanks for the video! One question, do you clean and sterilize your pump each time?
Breastfeeding is so hard. It can be painful sometimes but it’s so worth it. Almost 5 weeks in as a ftm. Hanging in there 🥰😅
Dont quit on a hard day. Wish you best.
msmarsi009 you are so kind. This is literally the best thing I’ve heard. THANK YOU 😭❤️
Thank you so much this was very helpful!
Woow thankyou soo much for all the tips and info Candy!! My baby is 3 months old and Iam breast and bottle feeding him. And ever since he was born my milk supply is very low🥺 thanks Iam going to be doing the pumping starting today.
Watching this showed me how to use the silicone cup lol
My baby is 3weeks old
his breastfed mostly. Having a hard time staying consistent with pumping cause I was a little discouraged by the amount I was getting out, and I also have other children to take care of n house chores . Little bit of laziness too. So do you have to pump?? I try to nurse him as much and stay hydrated. Definitely understand your video. The more you empty out the breast the body will make more milk
You only have to pump if your trying to increase your milk supply or you are returning to work and need to make a freezer stash. Otherwise if you feed your baby on demand your body will adapt to their needs. Also remember the amount you pump is not an indicator of how much milk you have.
Mother’s milk tea contains fenugreek.
I try that I'm not pregnant but my boobs grow lol 😂
Omg I haven’t seen your videos in a long time! The last one I remember you were vlogging driving in your car woooow I’m currently trying to increase my supply after it decreased after my maternity leave
love you Dulce!
Hi dulce, was wondering what formula you feed your baby ? I myself had my baby 36 weeks. He just turned 1 month this past Monday. Breastfeeding is a challenge for me and milk supply as well, I’m trying everything so thank u for this video. I’m having to do 90% formula and 10% breast milk I noticed my baby doesn’t like powder so I have to do liquid formula and still be fighting it. So stressful and formula you suggest? Currently on Enfamil the purple one, the regular yellow one was too much for my baby.
Such an amazing mama 💕
What type of oil would you use to massage your breast?
Did you use your Willow pump? If so how does it work?
Thank you!!! New mommy to be here.
Can you do a newborn must haves video?
So happy you uploaded due with my first next month and wanting to breastfeed. 💕
Thanks for sharing Dulce! This is so helpful! I'm due in winter and there is so much to learn! Do you think breast implants impeads milk supply?
jubby89 I’ve heard that it does, but who really knows.
That mothers milk tea has fenugreek as well!
your eyelash is so cute. can you post the brand please....!
How long after the baby is born do you start pumping?
Did you start pumping right away after your baby was born?
You're doing great Dulce ♥️
Thank you for this video 💕
I use mine correctly but I only get 1/2 - 1 oz
What kind of oatmilk do drink
Very helpful and inspiring! Due at the end of Sept 🥰
I have the same pump as you and I was wondering if you use a pump bra with it and do you usually pump both at the same time? Also watched this while pumping lol
sending love ur way you have beautiful children 💙
You look beautiful girl!! 💓
Dulce, where did you get your top/dress? Its beautiful!!
Did you take any vitamin d supplements or did you give him vitamin d drop?
Watching this as I’m pumping lol I’m scared of going back to work and milk supply might go down
Our babies are the same age and I'm having such a hard time with this. Do you keep pumping even if nothing comes out anymore?
Yes! There’s a few times a day when I get nothing, but I still pump for 20 min!
Dulce Candy thank you! I’m going to try it. And I agree with the milk cookies. I absolutely love them 😫😋
Breastfeeding was so painful for me as well. I would cry while I nursed my son. What helped me a lot were the nipple shields. The mothers tea helped also. But IDK if it was the tea or the warmth of it that caused a let down. Definitely worth the effort tho 🥰 Loved the bonding time with my babies.
This maybe the dumbest question, but the hakkaa pump once u latch it on, does the milk automatically flow or do u have to pump out all the milk.?
It just starts flowing. It catches all of the ‘let down’ of the opposite breast your baby is feeding on. There’s no need to do anything but attach it.
@@dulcecruiz2500 thankyou so much. This video had so much good information.
About to have my 4th boy andddddd I forgot I still get anxious about breastfeeding 😢
You do not have to pump. As long as you are feeding your baby on demand your supply will be exactly what your baby needs. Pumping tells your body that the baby needs more than it is drinking. This can cause engorgment and may even lead to clogged ducts/mastitis if you don’t continue emptying your breasts as often as you are. Mommas need rest and sleep. Feeding every 2 hours and then still pumping can get very exhausting very soon.
What if I can’t extract milk. I don’t make enogh. And my baby has started redirecting me 😢
Do you have implants? I am struggling because of that?
I am having a problem my baby is drinking milk on only one side breast and my milk supply is very low. Can you please help so that my baby start taking both breast
Market supply chai🙏
Alright I have to day two things that happen to me that is definitely different then yours.. by that, all babies are different.
The haakah does not or did not work on me unless the baby on breast. The letdown has to be stimulated. Other then that they don’t work.
The second one is that I had to much milk coming out that my nipples were giving the baby more milk the then nipple I’m the bottle. So thanks fully I don’t have a problem on using bottle and breast :)
I just dried up... and my baby is 3 months old... 🙁🙁🙁
Speak to a lactation nurse! There’s still things you can do to bring it back.
This could be normal. Did u start your period?
Tiffany Michelle yes.. but I feel like I got it right after I stopped breastfeeding
You may not be dried up. If you are interested in breastfeeding take to lactation consultant they can helo you bring it back or increase it.
I love you mom
