I feel like such a bad mom for not breastfeeding my daughter enough to the point where my milk supply is drying up, she was the perfect little latcher and my supply was great from the get go, but laziness, tiredness, time, amongst other things got in the way. I've just always been so indecisive to continue doing it partly because of my diet. I do not eat well at all and do not take care of myself as I should so my mentality was like my milk is probably not even that good for her anyways but I'm constantly reminded of how there is nothing better and formula won't ever compare :/
do you have a pump? if you pump frequently and feed her, like feed her, pump the leftovers when she's done and if you wanna do extra pump in between then your milk supply will increase. but again that takes time to do all that so if you have the time you could try. but don't feel bad, any amount of breastfeeding is better than none.
Girl I felt the same way. I breastfed for 5 days and I gave up because I was so exhausted mentally and physically. I would get so frustrated cause she would latch and then come away from it and start bobbing like s bobble head!! Breastfeeding has many benefits to a baby but formula doesn't kill them. It's ok to not breastfeed if you just can't do it. It's probably the hardest thing I ever tried doing. Don't beat yourself up, you tried. Some women just refuse it from the start.
So nyla has slept like almost all day yesterday and today and she hasnt been feeding as much and when she does seems like its not to long and she right back to sleep and im afraid my milk supply is going down... What do i do?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Racial nickname
I sometimes call my lo monkey. To me he looks like a little monkey. My so says it's racist and offensive. What do you think?
What can I do to increase milk supply?
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
A fed baby is the best baby
