Re: I bought an avent isis :)

[Guest guest]

Jenn,

I bought the Isis too and love it. I am glad you like it. I would think

any extra pumpings would help your supply. Just do what you have time for

and freeze any milk you get so you have a little stash. Just in case.

I bought an avent isis

Paige has been sleeping much longer at night, and I am a little worried

about my supply going down so I went out and bought an avent isis pump

I have an evenflo manual that kills me, and have heard so much about the

isis I had to have it:) I LOVE IT No pain at all! And I even seem to

let down with it, although not a big let down. How often would you suggest

pumping, just to give my supply a boost? I am not having any problems

keeping up with Paige's demand or anything, I just feel I want to be

producing a little extra for whenever the next growth spurt hits Is

there another growth spurt on it way? She will be 5 month on the 13th

Anyways, great pump, I love it.. especially after experiencing the pain

from the evenflo! Jenn:)

You could add a pumping session in one of his long sleep cycles...

basically keep nursing on a steady rhythm... like if you would normally

nurse every 3 hours, and he goes 5 hours at some point, you could pump

then... if it is during *your* sleep, skip it, and see if you could pump

after he nurses in the morning when you are fullest, if that is your

fullest time.

Dont forget that you can keep freshly expressed milk in the fridge for 8

days, so you can add milk to it for that long (the " expiration date " starts

counting on the first batch of milk) until you are ready to freeze... and

in a freezer section of a refrigerator (has its own door), you can keep it

for 3-4 months.

Try storing milk in small quantities, like 1-3 ounces at a time. Ice cube

trays are good for storing small amounts (if you can cover it well) or in

glass jars -- like cleaned baby food jars, small home-canning jars with

lids, etc. Glass is considered best for freezing, btw. Second choice

would be hard, white plastic, then clear plastic, then bags. You can also

make Momsicles for teething or a summer treat.

Thanks for the great info, I thought that in the frig you could only keep

it for 48 hours, I got that from the pamphlet from the evenflo terror when

I first bought it, that piece of cr@p! Thanks Jenn

I agree 48 hours would be as long as I would keep it in th efridge. If your

going to freze it I wouldn't keep it in there any longer then 24 hours.

Better to be safe then sorry you can add chilled milk to frozen milk so you

don't have to worry about it but don't add warm milk to frozen milk.

Everything I have ever read and my LC told me no longer then 48 hours in the

fridge and you can keep it 6 months in the frezer.

The most I have ever kept mm in the refrig is 3-4 days and

it has always been fine. I pump at work and my policy is

to use up monday-thursday's mm by friday. And I only let

friday's milk stay over the weekend to monday. If it looks

like I'll have extra, I start freezing some of thursday's

milk and then some of friday's if necessary. Hope that

makes sense.
