pumping and breastfeeding..?

You answered this way to a previous question ............

i think you're an idiot and lack knowledge when it comes to things of this nature.

How do you like being called an idiot?

By the way - babies are one of the most resilient creatures known to man and both you and your new baby are going to be in one of the safest havens on the face of the Planet - a Hospital. Whatever your baby requires will be absolutely guaranteed to receive .....and in a place that deals with this kind of thing on a daily basis. I'm the Father of 4 children (all grown up now) and they survived far worse things than running out of breast milk. Stop your worrying.

oh ..... one more thing. Thanks for the BA. I deliberately set out to be cruel to you - that's not good, but it's never nice to call people nasty names - is it?

Pumping is an acquired skill so not much you can do right now to increase your supply, you will need to pump while your daughter isn't nursing regardless of weather she is getting formula or not, this will 'protect' your milk supply, just be sure to pump when normally you would be nursing this is so your body will continue to produce milk, and 12 hours isn't too long your supply will bounce back after a day or so if it affected. Babies like to latch while sleepy because there are no distractions and they can just comfortably nurse, it is normal to nurse for a few minutes then roll away and sleep (or pacify at the breast which is great for the milk supply!)

And... your breasts never run out of milk, a pump may not be able to get the milk out but your baby can and will, even when your breasts feel empty they still are making milk that baby can get out!

Pump for 10 minutes after every feeding. Don't stress so much-you'll have what you have. But comtimue o feed her as normal. It makes no sense not to breastfeed her now so someone else can bottle feed her later.

As soon as you are able (regardless of what you have been told-most of the drugs will be gone by the time you're awake) put her back on the breast and continue to breastfeed her as you normally would.

i seriously doubt that any drugs are being used that would not be used during a routine surgical birth, and those are perfectly safe. if you are worried about pain killers, request Motrin.

If. You run out can't you just give her formula?? Or you can just pump all day don't worry she will be fine good luck
