pinkcat all 3 of my babies were like 1.5-2.5 hours for feedings for a long time. DD is 14 weeks today and eats sometimes every hour if she doesn’t take a nap. We only get the 3+ hours if she does a rare long nap. She had a few bad night lately but typically goes 7-9 hours at night. You cannot overfeed your baby. It’s good for your baby and good for keeping your boobs clog free!

Also pinkcat I saw your other post. What pump do you have? Do you have a hands free bra?

Trumpet noise 🎺
After 3 bad nights we had a good one. She sttn in her crib in her room! Needed it. First week back to work was not the week to throw me for a loop. Hopefully she does it again tonight. If not, at least I know she can.

K had his 4 month check up yesterday. His lazy eye has corrected itself (yay!) but she thinks his hydrocele (fluid trapped in the scrotum) is getting worse so we will be seeing a urologist on a couple weeks. She ensured me it wasn't bad but wants someone else to look at it. I'm honestly not too worried about it.

No pinkcat, you can't overfeed a breastfed baby. You're probably right that it's a growth spurt. You're doing great! ^this!!!!

pinkcat When I’m pumping and my output stops before I think it’s really done, I usually do some breast massage. Starting at the armpit and lightly squeezing and pressing towards the nipple. A minute or two is usually enough to get the flow started again.

Thank you easternshoregirl benandjerrys and sunfrogger! I knew you couldn't overfeed when they were little, but then I started to second guess myself and worry that now that he was older I was! Phew. Thank you rebeccabunch! Your DD sounds like she is on the exact same schedule with eating as DS is. If he has a long nap during the day he's fine going at least 3 hours, but days without the long nap are where he eats every hour or two. And for pumping, I do have a hands free bra but I haven't tried it yet! Good idea, I should pull that out and test it today!

A minute or two is usually enough to get the flow started again. pinkcat it’s much easier to do this when you are using your hands free bra. I do what snowyowl says every time I’m pumping. I get better flange placement w my bra too. If I forget it, I always notice less output. Good luck! Resist the urge to skip a session. Pumping gets so annoying but every time I skip it comes back to bite me.

I will make sure not to because I don't want to mess up my supply or get a clog!
