cupcakecutiern I love my bravado bras. Very minimal padding, just enough to hide my nipples.
Age of lo? 16 weeks. Guhhhh.
Ebf/ep/both/supp? Ebf
Triumphs? I'm beginning to actually love BFing.
Struggles? E's latch is getting worse. Her upper lip will not flare out no matter what and thanks to y'all, realized she has an upper lip tie. I remember asking several LCs in the hospital if she had a tie, but I think they just checked for a tongue tie. Planning on asking her ped at her check up next week.
Questions? Why is she nursing longer past 2 week or so? Her sessions went from 12-15 min to 45-60 minutes. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.
Just gonna aw a sec. After surviving the nursing strike we had enough bottles for today plus extra! I've been pumping after he eats especially before bed and once before work. I am hoping by this weekend we might be able to start up a stash again.

I will have to try that, I currently have two cotton bras from them that are great but the other one that is satin/foam is not breathable so as soon as I leak my chest gets uncomfortably humid.

2dumbdogs I have noticed Ava is gassy and unhappy when I eat acidic foods made with tomatoes like sauces and ketchup. Or oranges, pineapple, etc.
Ava just started STTN this last week and I don't pump to make up for it, I just leak a lot. Ha ha! And she isn't eating more often during the day. Actually sometimes less often! I guess each feed might go a little longer than normal but I haven't noticed.

boox191 my pumping amount is all over the place. Depends on the time of day and how hydrated I am as to how much I can get at a time. They say your supply is usually up in the morning but I pump in the afternoon and at night since that's when I work and sometimes the amount is pitiful, and other times it is a lot!
Having new terrible pain when nursing or pumping, only on one side. Google says either thrush or clogged duct. GAH IT'S BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS OF EVERYTHING JUST CUBE AND PERFECT, WHY IS IT BECOMING AWFUL NOW?
Just a reminder...if your pumping amounts go down suddenly, check your membranes! I panicked the other day because I barely managed 12 oz (what LO usually has during the day at day care) and that was with adding an extra session. That night, I changed the membranes just in case and easily got over 16 oz the next day, without the extra session. BFing is going well for us.
kaeguri, is she doing less feedings overall in a 24 hour period? I've read that when they do cut back the number of feeds (like dropping one during the night) that it can cause them to feed longer at the sessions they do have.

+1 to checking your membranes for sudden decrease!
And re: pumping amounts during the day. Here are mine from yesterday. Pumped at 7am (last pump at 7 the night before because A sttn and I'm lazy) and got 120 mls (4 ounces) from left and 115 mls from right. 9 am I got 45 from each. 11am and 2pm i got 35 from each. 5pm I got 50 from each. 7pm and 9:30 pm I got 30 from each. Tial for the day was 686 mls, which is a little over 23 ounces.
I always get the most from the first pump of the day. Then things generally taper off to around 40 mls (ounce and a half) from each boob.

So I've been pumping at work-- luckily I've been slow and only have had to pump once during the day. When I pump over night like 3 or 5a I usually get 2.5-3oz from the one side. During the day I get about 1.5-2oz total depends on how long since I have fed.
