Happy Valentine's Day

I was lazy the last couple of days and didn't pump every three hours. I skipped several pumps, actually. I feel like this was okay for me to do because I was getting a little bored/overwhelmed and it was nice to take a break. I'm ready to resume 3-hourly pumping and continue building my supply.

    Here's a quick update. Right before I decided to take a break I was pumping 2 1/2 ounces a session. If I had continued that I would have gotten 20 ounces in one day! My breasts are definitely larger. It's really noticeable and they also get noticeably larger when it comes time to pump. I'm so happy to be full of milk once again. The one downside is that my breasts ITCH. So badly! It's intense. I hope it passes soon.

Happy Valentine's Day :)

    Is it your whole breast or just the nipple? Mine itch after pumping and I try to keep them soft with lanolin after every pump. Also, are you able to put the baby on the breast much? That will help your vigorous pumping schedule. And babies can get let downs, especially in the mornings, like nobodies business!

      It's mainly my nipples that itch and it's always when I need to pump. It's only relieved once I do. It's so unbearable!
      I have been pretty lazy about putting Finn to the breast. I've resumed the three-hourly pumping schedule, though. My milk supply wasn't effected too much by the break I took, which is a relief!
