I am a mum of a 10month old boy. I must say that your vids are very helpful
for breastfeeding mums. Unfortunately my milk was starving my son so I put
him to soy formula at 3 weeks. Wont look back he is already almost 12kgs. I
did watch your earlier vids on your other channel when you had Deacon and
really tried to feed Riley but my milk was no good. I am very proud and
happy for you that you are continuing to breastfeed. If that is what u want
then u deserve all the support. Congrats honey
@rmmartin92405 lol.. yes! I should have specified. I have mastered a way to
change in the car without flashing anyone... I aslo have a cami on
underneath so I take my top shirt off then my bra (and the cami is still on
covering everything) then I put the slitted tank on and as I pull it down
the new one covers. If I'm somewhere where people can see me (I usually go
to open areas) then I put my shiel on right away or fold up the bottom of
the slitted tank. Plus my windows are super dark. (-:
Thanks for this! I am pregnant now and wondering how pumping is going to
work when I go back to work full time. Pumping every 2-3 hours is just not
feasible at my job, so if I can pump on the way to work in the morning that
would be 1 less break to take! As for the idiot commenters- How pathetic is
your life? These are moms trying to feed children which is more difficult
to do than you know. Go whack off somewhere else! Picture your own mom
breast feeding. How's that image for your boner?

I got the shelf bra tank top idea from you! It was great. But I got sick of
changing my tops in the car or where ever i was. So I cut holes in a sports
bra :D I use nursing pads (Johnson rock!) to cover the holes. The only
downside of doing that is if you wear a tight top you can notice where the
holes are so I just layer & wear a light sweater. It's really simple & all
I have to do is lift my top & cover up with a nursing cover.
Great idea! My only concern would be your seatbelt. Are you able to wear
your seatbelt properly while pumping and driving? I ALWAYS wear my belt
when the car is moving- I was in a wreck once that I walked away from that
if I hadn't been wearing my seatbelt I would've been seriously hurt or
worse, so that's pretty important for me lol. We are TTC now and I am
really wanting to breastfeed when the time comes :)
Hey thanks for answering my previous question on pumping. I have been doing
tons of research on breastfeeding and working. For my state, I am not
protected but there is the new federal law that allows a working mom to
pump at work...etc. I am curious as to how you went about this with your
employer and what steps you had to take to get where you are now and how
did your work handle this.
@TaylorSwiftfan1iever I know it's sort of loud when you pump, but chance
are they can't hear it. Drive-thru is a busy place. Between all the beeping
and the other employees, not to mention the headsets that most of them
wear, drive-thru attendants don't usually have time to be worried about
what people are doing in their cars unless they can see what's happening.
Omg I love the nursing cover idea!! I would ALWAYS pump in the car in the
passenger seat and I always had a hard time being discrete about it. I
always tried to use a baby blanket or something. I have gotten a few odd
stares when I haven't been covered well enough LOL. I will definitely put
ur tips to practice whenever we decide to have baby number 2 : )
Just wanted to ask you how you secure your pump. The tubes are but only so
long and not all cars have a flat smooth surface between the seats to place
the pump. How do you keep it from flying to the floor if and/or when a
quick stop is necessary? I don't know how many times my purse has gone
flying to the floor from the passenger seat....
You come across very well on camera,and I really enjoyed your video.But
when I tried this I could'nt get any breast milk at all, although the
sensation was very nice.Maybe it was the stress of the rush hour or the
strange looks from the passengers on my bus.Anyway,will give it one more go
Tuesday. Thanks for sharing Steve
If you swerve into the path of a tractor trailer becouse your pumping
instead of consintraiting on driving don't blame the truckdriver becouse
your thinking of yourself instead of other peoples lives on the road I hope
you don't drive where I drive one more unsafe driver that encouraging more
to be unsafe.
Oatmeal is the whole-grain food you often hear about when it comes to
supply-boosters, but brown rice is another whole grain that is notable when
it comes to lactation. Brown rice is unprocessed rice with just the
outer-most hull removed. It’s a complex carbohydrate, which provides mom
with energy needed for breastfeeding, but it also helps with milk
production in another way. Researchers have discovered that eating brown
rice may cause an increase in serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a
neurotransmitter that helps regulate your moods, appetite, and sleep, but
it also stimulates prolactin secretion. Prolactin, as mentioned earlier, is
a key hormone involved in lactation.
Supplementing. Nursing is a supply & demand process. Milk is produced as
your baby nurses, and the amount that she nurses lets your body know how
much milk is required. Every bottle (of formula, juice or water) that your
baby gets means that your body gets the signal to produce that much less
milk.
