I've lurked a bit but I feel completely clueless and helpless right now. My son was born two days ago at 31 w 5 d That night I pumped and got a nice amount to feed him. Since then it has decreased significantly. To the point that some sessions I get nothing. At the hospital I used a medela but at home I hand a purely yours. Tomorrow we are working on getting me a medela rental or pump through insurance. I feel like the py is way too hard to find settings that work.
I guess my questions are. What tips do you have for getting the colostrum going ?is it normal to not get anything during some sessions? What can I do to fix this? I'm at a loss and physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. I haven't slept in a week other than a few hours. On that line, which is more important. Pumping every 2-3 hrs or a real night sleep in light of this weeks trauma???
Tia!
