Thank you everyone for your replies <3
I just realized something: my breasts are pretty cold in general. Whether I'm pumping or not, they're cold. I only realized that now! Tinydear, are your breasts also rather cold (when you're not pumping)? I think we really need to boost our circulation. Let's try massaging more before pumping.
Solome, yes you have to follow your gut instincts! I remember someone once told me I should have a milkshake or something before my pumping session and I thought "Whaat? Should I have a burger too? Will a Happy Meal go to my breasts?"
But like u said, certain things do get into the bloodstream very quickly. I do drink lots of water and sometimes take my hops before pumping. Thank u for mentioning fenugreek, I forgot it improves circulation! Miss Ellen suggested drinking salt water before pumping. I still need to try that!
Bobbi, at least you can do an hour without your boobs getting cold! In my case, whether I pump and release, pump and hold, they're still pretty cold.
Sweetorange, you really think cold breasts is a bad sign? I wouldn't be surprised if many other people's breasts are cold without them realizing it.....will try a heating pad or how about blow drying breasts?
