addymac that really sucks, I hope you feel better asap. I blame lack of sleep for our compromised immune systems.

addymac, I'm sorry, being sick and taking care of kids is the worst. I'm praying I don't get what my kids have but I'm probably doomed. Your immune is definitely down when BF. It could be YH is carrying something from work even if he isn't sick. Hope you feel better

I broke out the pump for the first time this morning and pumped 8oz. It may have been more but I had to stop because of course P started getting fussy and wanted to nurse 😒. My FIL gifted us an almost brand-new deep freezer and I want to pack it with as much BM as possible so I can hopefully not have to pump as long at work. With DS I was able to stop when he was 11mo because I had enough in the freezer to carry him to a year when we transitioned to whole milk.

I just pumped and got 6- he eats anywhere from 4-6 per session so I am barely there

If your baby wakes every hour dovyou feed them each time? J always wants fed when he wakes up no matter how long he was down I can't remember if you're breastfeeding or not. If so, I do. If not, I likely wouldn't unless nothing else will settle him.

How much are your kiddos eating from a bottle?
E will only take up to 2.5 oz, but usually it's 1.5-2 oz at a time. Most of the time I'm breastfeeding, so I don't know what she's getting. I fed her at 4 and then pumped at 7 since H was giving her a bottle. I pumped 10 oz, she ate 2 from the bottle. She seems to be gaining fine (newborn stuff doesn't fit well anymore), but we don't have a weight check until her 2 month check.

I try to give him just a little when he wakes up so he isn't crabby but we are getting closer to eff as the days go on

J always wants fed when he wakes up no matter how long he was down I try to offer the paci and swaddle and soothe before offering food again. 9/10 he just wants food bc he's a fatty.... Ughhhh last night I started to feel like shit. I was so cold and having the chills. N would not fall asleep and DH was busy with work til midnight. I was exhausted and felt like shit. He finally fell asleep in his crib and I slept but had chills the whole time. Woke up at 2- he was asleep, why would my body wake me up??? Woke up at 3- ugh I need to pump. Still with the chills. Woke up at 5- fed N and thought he was super cold, until I realized I'm actually burning up and have the chills. Nap for an hour and then take my temp- 100.9. Ugh. I want my mommy. I hate being sick and I hope i don't get him sick! I don't even understand- I haven't been around anyone these last few days besides DH and he's not sick. Ugh. Just want to sleep. It's not mastitis is it?

cali I don't think so bc my boobs feel relatively normal. My throats also feels.... thick? Like it doesn't hurt to swallow but it it's a bit harder to swallow than normal. My left boob hurts- almost like it feels bruised but it's not hard or red or swollen. I did a hot compress on it anyway bc I was worried about mastitis but I just feel like total crap

addymac, I've been sick twice since M was born. I think our immune systems are just not up to par plus lack of sleep doesn't help, so it could just be a virus. But if your boob keeps hurting I'd definitely call you ob just to be sure it's not mastitis. Also, I've never pumped more than 4 oz. Not once. :-(

M slept from 11-6:30! I got up at 5:30 to pump at least lefty because it was a rock and I was super excited to pump 5 ounces from only one boob! That is alot for me. I never pumped more than total of 5 ounces with both while pumping at work with DD1. I'm sure this will not be a regular occurrence though since things will definitely level off as the months go by.

I had it with DS too until he was about 6mo, then my supply dropped pretty significantly and I had to add in extra pumping sessions throughout the day in order to pump enough for daycare.

E takes 4-5 ounces. D takes anywhere from 5-7 ounces, he's a beast.

I was told that when you manage to pump extra stash on top of BFing baby you got oversupply /nods - but hah that exactly what i am after as I want to build up a little supply. 🙃

Sorry to read you are feeling so crappy addymac! Get better soon 💛 also i second just getting checked out for mastitis just in case? You may be coming down with a bad cold or such but have been having issues with your boob for some time now I think so I rather just know for sure?

I fed her at 4 and then pumped at 7 since H was giving her a bottle. I pumped 10 oz, she ate 2 from the bottle. She seems to be gaining fine (newborn stuff doesn't fit well anymore), but we don't have a weight check until her 2 month check. I BF and only occasionally supplement with a bottle (pumped milk nowadays but formula when my supply still sucked balls) though these past days it has been a daily occurrence and we have gone from one bottle a day to 3 orso. We currently give her 50-60ml a bottle (60ml = 2oz) and she finishes it all (up till last week she'd finish 1-1.5oz orso max) and sometimes another 0.5 or 1oz since she s been hungrier. D is 5 weeks now. Like you I worried and wondered and felt unsure since she hadnt had a weight in since 10 days but luckily she was fine at her 1mo weight in. If E has good daiper output and generally seems happy and seems to be growing etc I would try not not worry to much. Easier said then done fo-sure!

We will check other stuff like daiper etc first but if she shows cues (which often is the case) I will boob her to see whether she will drink. Which usually is the case! If it is too close to pumping or I otherwise feel my boobs need a break I make her a bottle instead - tho then I do make sure (as much as I can) hunger is why she is awake/fussy cause I hate warming up pumped milk just to have to throw it out 🤔

I hope you feel better addymac, I can't imagine being sick on top of this newborn sleeplessness. jexxa cali addymac I'm jealous of all of you. I'm lucky if I get 1-2 oz. when I pump. My supply is so sad. At least I'm still able to feed J about half of his food at this point. jt2378, So jealous of that sleep! That must have felt amazing! The most J has slept is 4 hours (2 times) and it was amazing.

The most J has slept is 4 hours (2 times) and it was amazing. Don't feel too bad - I usually get around 2oz max as well! I was able to stock up a bit last week but she s drank all i pump on a day plus most of what I stored before these past days. So now I worry about running out and go back to supplementing with formula. Which is totally okay but still would make me feel a little sad.

Hugs yoshijoHope you feel better addymac. I thought of mastitis too. Hopefully, it goes away quickly whatever it is. Super jealous of everyone who pumps so much or who has a stash. He drinks anything I pump within hours. We are still supplementing about 6 oz of formula a day. He had gained so well at his last appt that the Dr said I didn't really need the supplement, but I'm not going to let him cry when he's rooting and sucking on his hands and I've been breastfeeding for hours and already switched him from side to side multiple times. Has anyone heard from mrshall1027?
