I think everyone knows I breastfeed, but I also started pumping so that I can bump my supply up and have some extra for various reasons. I am no where close to a super supplier like I was with Nathaniel. When pumping I was getting like 1.5 ounces with the first morning session and it was less over the next two throughout the day. Fairly frustrating considering this isn’t my first child even if it had been a while.
I ordered smaller flanges for my Motif Luna and finally dropped the dime (lots of dimes on the Willow 3.0) and the milk containers for it since the bags are a little pricey.
I did worse with the Willow with the bags but when the milk containers arrived it was like a miracle. I finally pumped just over 2oz (albeit it took 45 minutes) in my morning session while he nursed from one side. Later after Devon’s nap, while he nursed from one side (I don’t want to wash 2 containers 😅), I pumped another 2oz! I finally could bag 4oz and I only did 2 sessions! 🥳🙌🏼
Today, another 4oz day success! 🥳🎊
I should say that I had a slight diet change. As of Tuesday I started adding half a scoop of protein powder to my morning and afternoon coffee. Since that didn’t change my output Tuesday or Wednesday I feel like that had trivial effect here.
Someone told me it’s funny how what excites us changes with every stage of life. Very true statement. I am literally so freaking excited about being a better human cow. Moooo 😂🥰
Thursday’s bounty! 🥛
Friday’s milk treasure! 🥰🥳
This makes this mama feel so accomplished! 🏆
