Sick while pumping

Ive had headaches but no decrease i pump for an hr or around 45mins… every 3/4hrs.. i mean there were times i didnt wanna pump so i waited like two more hrs… but while i was sick i stayed hydrated and everymorning i ate oatmeal w fruit… and electric pumps have settings like massages and expressions try massaging for like 10mins express 10mins (usee a heating pad and out over your boob for faster flow and comfort) and pump more than u need to cause that tricks ur body into making more milk… thats what i was told and i did it in the beginning when i was barely getting any milk and it worked!

This happened to me too 😩 I'm still struggling to get my supply back up (it's a work in progress) but Similac Alimentum was the only formula my daughter's tummy could handle. She would throw up the others, and the soy one made her poops come out like pebbles and her little booty bleed 😥

do you keep pumping even if milk stops coming out. My breasts usually empty after like 15 minutes. I'll even squeeze on them just to be sure.

yes but when i have no milk coming out i have it on lvl 1 or 2…

thank you both for the advice! I told my partner to grab similac sensitivity to try while i exclusively pump to get my supply back up. I also ate oatmeal with coconut oil to start and my thirst got back up so I’m staying hydrated as much as possible

Currently happening to me, its so frustrating and my baby has a milk allergy so i have to get nutramigen and that stuff is expensive and hard to find, i just wanna feed my baby 🥺

keep me updated and let me know if it works! Also Body armor helps…

i literally looked those up and they are so expensive! Omg! I finally found something my daughter is good with and it’s the Similac Sensitive.

Update: i got the similac sensitive formula and so far she hasn’t thrown up to it. And i exclusively did 2 days of 24hr pumping challenge and it helped boost my milk supply back up! And was nursing at the same time. Did my oatmeal with coconut oil and drank body armor and i have been feeling better so im good with supplying for now. Huge relief cause formula is my emergency kit.

thats great 😄 keep it up and by 24hrs challenge what do u mean lol & yes oatmeal and body armor works wonders!

so the 24 hr challenge is basically checking to see how much u pump within 24hrs and put it all in a pitcher. Like i did 9pm-9pm and was pumping every 2-3hrs and putting them in a pitcher. It’s on TikTok you can see how it’s done.
