Hi Destiny. Thx for sharing. I just want to add that trauma and pain to nipples is due to incorrect latch. A deep latch is essential for a wonderful feeding experience for both baby and mama. Also pain in pumping is the wrong flange size or putting the flanges on improperly; for any new moms reading this.
Im almost 6 months in and he had his first cold and my nipples are in pain because he is not letting them go. I was like you I did not research anything but your video is spot on
I put my “breastfriend” to the side bc I thought it was just big, bulky and in the way. I picked it back up yesterday after watching this and you’re right, it does help A LOT!! 🙌🏽
Girl!! I thought the exact same thing i was like f this I’ll just use a pillow lol but them additional weeks came and that became my go to lol hands free 😂
I use the momcozy bags they are amazing they have a temp teller that’s turns colors according to how cold or warm the milk is and they are sooo much thicker
What I think is wild is that I’ve used the exact same products in the exact same order. I started out with the Lansinoh double electric then purchased the Medela and I also used the Lansinoh manual pump in the beginning and and I don’t use it now.
Currently exclusively breastfeeding/pumping with my second. I didn’t take it seriously with my first although I breastfed 2x/day with my first until 8 months and used formula for the rest. This has been very helpful as I will be returning to work soon.❤️ my question tho is how long do you pump each session because I will pump for 30 minutes on each side and by about 25 min I will feel another let down. Do you experience this and I can’t find any information on how long to pump is safe?
thanks sooo much for watching!!! So i usually pump for about 10/15 minutes. I can go longer at night because baby is sleep, so 15/20 mins at night :) but i usually stop around 10-15 minutes and get around 5/6 ounces in the AM and 3/4 ounces. But this can also depend on the last time baby ate! So this morning he ate and then i pumped and i only got out 3 oz. so it fluctuates lol i hope this helps!! I also found a lot of help on the WTE (what to expect) app and joined the breastfeeding discussion boards! Post your question there and I’m sure you will get more responses to help guide you :) again thanks for watching mama!! ☺️
Stupid question but how do u your breast are empty? When the milk stops flowing? When did u start pumping twice a day. My problem right now is still being full after she feeds she’s only 3wks old I make more than what she eats. Also how do u alternate your breast. One feeding u do left breast then the next feeding u do the right breast?
hey! yes when the milk stops flowing :) when I pumped and it looked like there wasn’t any more milk coming out your good to go. With alternating breasts keep track of your last fed breast, that way you can pick up on the non fed one (you can also use a hakka during feeding of one on the other so that one can let down as well, if that makes sense)
Hi! I used vitamin d baby drops on my nipple for him during feedings :) I used freezer milk as a backup, emergencies, baths etc and yes I sadly ended up having to cause it went bad
Thank you! So how soon after birth did you transition to pumping only twice a day? My baby is currently 5 weeks and I want to move away from pumping and to exclusively breastfeeding.
Love the sleeping part on the huckleberry app!! It’s so neat how it’s spot on with nap times and bed times. Great video!! I’m a nursing momma also.. I see Kru has two teeth my little turned 6 months on the 16th and we have no teeth!! 🥲.
omg we live my that sleep sweet spot feature! It is amazing how right it is haha thanks so much for watching! And yayyy nursing mama!! yes he does haha he got them at the tail end of 5 months! His doc was even shocked hahaha
My OB recommended that I breastfeed exclusively for 6 months then add solids. And the night time feeds. I would love to have him feed both on bottle and breast, however my OB recommended using a cup and spoon instead of a bottle. I feel that a cup and spoon will spill on his neck.
nope! I always fed him before pumping. The pumping session was just to get whatever was left over out and to empty my boobs to start off the day lol hope that helps!
Im not sure if you said the more you pump the more you get or the more you nurse the more you get (i didnt feel like rewinding lol) But do both do the same thing? Just the more your boobs are stimulated, you’re good right? I pump & nurse but trying to store a stash and dont know how. I pump and give it to her most times. I thought you said you pumped and used that milk the same day? How did you begin to store and not use the milk? Thanks!❤
yesss! Just the more your boobs are stimulated the more it’ll tell your body to produce! I began to store by pumping at night, store that milk and just breastfeed in morning and then pump after feeding to get anything left over ;) I hope this helps mama!!!

How do you give your baby his vitamin d drops?
What do you do with the freezer milk? Have you had to throw some milk away?
Hi! I used vitamin d baby drops on my nipple for him during feedings :) I used freezer milk as a backup, emergencies, baths etc and yes I sadly ended up having to cause it went bad
Thank you! So how soon after birth did you transition to pumping only twice a day? My baby is currently 5 weeks and I want to move away from pumping and to exclusively breastfeeding.
Kru has a wonderful mommy!
awww thank you so much!!
What you do with frozen milk that you don't use it ?
use it in baths 🤩
Along with breastfeeding in bottle you just give him directly too? Or totally on bottle?
I rarely used bottles with him, he preferred it from breast lol any milk I pumped, I stashed in freezer for emergencies
Love the sleeping part on the huckleberry app!! It’s so neat how it’s spot on with nap times and bed times. Great video!! I’m a nursing momma also.. I see Kru has two teeth my little turned 6 months on the 16th and we have no teeth!! 🥲.

@@DestinyBreana lol I meant 6 months lol he has all the symptoms of teething but no teeth.
ohhh!! haha don’t worry, they’re coming for sure 😂😂 my friends are like “my baby didn’t get teeth till 9 mo!”
Can you make nipple trauma go away? Or does the nipple trauma stay? …
for me; it def went away! The first weeks were brutal and I had bloody ones but after a while your nipple skin gets used to its new duty :) lol
My OB recommended that I breastfeed exclusively for 6 months then add solids. And the night time feeds. I would love to have him feed both on bottle and breast, however my OB recommended using a cup and spoon instead of a bottle. I feel that a cup and spoon will spill on his neck.
Awww I hope you guys were able to figure out what is best for baby!
With pumping at night and in the morning, didn’t you find that the baby’s morning feeds left him dissatisfied? Didn’t they wake up super hungry?
nope! I always fed him before pumping. The pumping session was just to get whatever was left over out and to empty my boobs to start off the day lol hope that helps!
@@DestinyBreana it does help! Thank you
I want two bottles with breastmilk🍼🍼🍼❤❤❤
Girl you look like nie from cam & nie
aww I’ll take that as a compliment haha
Im not sure if you said the more you pump the more you get or the more you nurse the more you get (i didnt feel like rewinding lol)
