Feel bad

My baby is now 6 weeks and I have been combo feeding for the last 2 weeks But my milk supply has gone down so much and I can just about only get 2 oz a day as the pump i have involves me needed both hands free and findibg the time ro do that multiple times a day is hard! I dont know if i should try hands free pumps or just give up? I feel so bad if I give up as I know it's good for little man and it makes me feel like a terrible mum but it's so disheartening seeing how little I make.

Are you pumping every three hours when baby would be due a feed? Could you invest in an electric pump?

@Lorna I'm not 😞 i have an eletric pump bur it's one i have to hold it on my breast and days where little man don't want to sleep it's had to pump 🙃 so might invest in hands free eletric pump

you can also fasten the pump in your bra, in any kind of bra, pumping frequently is key, specially at night

or put them on boobs

Eat more of oat porridge and lots of water, it helps too sis.

Get hands free!

Investing in the hands free pump could end up cheaper than all the formula so if I were you I would go for it!

@Raman yeah I'm looking at hands free, do you have any suggestions looking at the momcozy atm

@Kathryn do you have any suggestions on what one to get? Xxx

Id recommend the Evie manual pump, it goes in your bra and does the job itself. I had couple and it worked well for me, but in the end we decided to stop breastfeeding as it made al three of us extremely exhausted. x

@IncognitoI see. My midwife told me to pump every three hours when baby would be feeding, alternating the breasts each time. 9am left side/ 12pm right side 3pm left side/ 9pm right side etc That way you body is producing enough milk per babies feed. Maybe you could give that a try xx

Try the momcozy m5 x

@Ceri I have just bought the momcosy s12 pro 😊
