I got inspired from ur video and startd pumpg again,i used do pumping on n off coz i never used to c any big improvmnt. thanq so much.i have been pumping from 1week and waiting..wish me good luck..how did u manage household work and taking care of ur baby?

@hk2kk2 Awww I am glad you did! I wish you all the best, lots of luck and positive vibes being sent your way! My house work kind of took a back seat while I was pumping. I got my husband to help out as much as I could. I would pump while sitting beside my son on the floor and talk, play with him so it wasn't like I was totally gone while I was pumping. Once he was mobile he would entertain himself.

So I have a question obviously I can't do it now cause my daughter is to old but I'm pregnant with baby #2 is it possible toward the end of pregnancy to get your milk supply going before baby is born? I know this is a stupid question but I had problems with my daughter. like could you pump and stuff to get it started or does the baby have to be born before milk supply is achieved?

@JennandJasonM Also if you have the baby right to the breast right away after delivery you are more inclined to produce milk too. Another good thing to read about is kangaroo care/skin to skin contact and supply and demand as well as different things you can do to insure you can produce enough milk for your second little one. Good luck. If you have any other questions feel free to ask, I don't mind answering and there is NEVER a stupid question.

[hk2kk2]

@nannerskins thanq so much for the reply..I have some more questions..I am planning to try nursing supplementer too after looking at ur video :) and wanna c how my lo will respond to that. Please help me with the following Qs1.how many days of 1hr pumping sessions are needed bfore going to 2hr session 2.how many days did it take to get ur milk back(3oz)?

[nannerskins]

@JennandJasonM Not a stupid question at all! To be honest I am not 100% sure, however I do know that if you were to pump at all or give yourself simple stimulation it can in fact cause contractions and might possibly put you into labor so I really wouldn't want to recomend it. However! After your baby is born and the placenta is delivered thats when all the hormones kick in and you start to produce colostrum more and breast milk. I would highly recomend to read about milk production it mighthelp
