[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 592154, member: 16184"] I've tried breast massage in conjunction with the pump and I've tried pumping while feeding. I can get approximately two ounces. I can hand express when close to engorged and it works well but I am still round the clock feeding pretty much. He goes to bed at 11pm-midnight and arises at 4am for food back to sleep until 7am if its dark and quiet. To get nice big milk filled boobs I would have to get up before 4 or have pump with me at 4am which to be honest I normally cheat and pull him into my bed so he can eat and I can sleep. This is the first baby I've breast fed this long, with tk I went through emergency surgery at time of c section and was malnourished she was always supplemented so she didn't starve to death. And boyo was boyfriend for 6 weeks when I weened him he developed acid reflux and went through malpractice with a pediatrician who canceled appointments and refused to diagnose until he was in the hospital. Both tk and boyo were dream babies, and I had no issues pumping for boyo in those six weeks until I supplemented and dried up, unintentionally. Could get 8 ounces for 20 minutes of pumping and my ex and I took a day shift and night shift approach as he was a stay at home husband and it worked for us. My mom says find a formula and I would like to but I have misgivings due to what happened with boyo and the fact that my breast milk smells and to be honest tastes like sugar water, I have a deep seated fear he will reject formula totally.
