Ugh ! I was trying to get paisley to latch and she was screaming up a storm (which is why we ALWAYS end up giving her a bottle) her dad gets up to pee looks down the hall at us and just goes back to bed...NOOO I guess I don't need your fucking help though it'd be nice if you'd make a bottle while I'm trying or help her latch...I'm sick of feeling like a failure because I can only pump for her and we can't physically breastfeed !
I used to use it all the time when i was bf. I would dip my whole nipple shield in water and then place it on the center of the nipple. it helped suction it better. then having some water on it seemed to help stimulate kyler to want to latch
@firstbaby_girl, water trick ? What's that?
@alicia3_21, I'm not going to give up thats for sure ! Thanks dear I hope so too
@alicia3_21, aw thanks dear 💕 it's such a pain carrying around milk and a pump everywhere we go when my boobs are attached to me !
yeah I bet. and I can't find it. .. I'm trying...
@alicia3_21, hmm never heard of that I'll have to check into that...plus I would LOVE to be able to go places and not have to carry a lunchbag with milk...
I read somewhere that they have like something u put on your boob for the pumped milk to go through. I don't remember where I'll look into it. maybe that would help the bond ??
@alicia3_21, that's the way it feels though love yeah she still gets my milk by pumping but we don't get the bond from breastfeeding
It was hard for me too. they need to some how make it easier lol. the two times he did latch it was with the shield
@senadas, we have one but I struggle with getting it on correctly by myself
Get a nipple shield it might help you . it helped me ,he couldn't latch either @hayleymarie
@blessedmommy, almost 5 months (on the 16th) strong 💪 I just wish her dad would help when I'm trying to get her to latch...I can't get the nipple shield on right by myself so I need his help I feel like she might latch if we were using the shield
Bradley wouldn't latch for anything. so I pumped for a while but eventually quit that. at least you're still going strong with the pumping (: I still get depressed and bitter that I couldn't breastfeed
I'm still trying to get a feel for this app but are there any STAHM here?
Okay ladies I need help . I'm trying to keep my skin clear . I wash my face and use face moisturizer but I'm still getting pimples .
My baby girl does not let me do anything all day 😭 I'm lucky if everything is done before my s.o gets home , she cried so I pick her up to feed her and change her diaper and once she's on my breast she eats and I burp her put her down and she'll cry I get her again and she's on my breast not even latched on just smelling my boobs 😭 I'm like girl really lmao she wants me to carry her or be with her all day , girl I wish I could lmao
HELP! My baby is a few weeks old. We had trouble with latch in the beginning and she wasn't getting enough food I had to introduce formula to clear her jaundice when she came home..was nervous about introducing the bottle because I knew it might confuse her which I think it did and now have been giving her some breast milk I pump and formula as well. Really want to get her to latch on my breast but it is not working. Any advice here??
He puts the ac on last night while we are sleeping then after a while I get up freezing and almost peeing on myself. I pee and cover with the blanket. Then he gets up and checks baby diaper which is very full since he put the ac on and tries to change it ofcourse baby starts to cry he is too slow and woke baby up. She already has a cough and I put the humidifier on before bed for baby. She starts coughing so I go run into the kitchen to get her some water without my glasses I'm blind. I bring th...
