@ritababy123, don't worry about that. Your babies stomach is literally as small as fingertip the first few days so it may not seem like enough but they are definitely getting enough colostrum. trust me when your milk comes in you will know it. And like I said your milk develops as baby needs it. your colostrum will still be there before and after baby is born. If you pump now there's a chance of screwing up your natural system your body automatically does

don't start pumping now. 1- Because it can put you into preterm labor and 2- Because your baby will regulate your milk for you when she starts nursing. The colostrum will not go away until after you start nursing and baby brings in your milk.

I think you could use your pump...but maybe you could also try to hand express. idk tho. just a thought. :)

You could try hand expressing if it's leaking. I would suggest consulting with your doctor about pumping during pregnancy. I've read some conflicting information on the risks and benefits.

What a beautiful gesture. I'm so glad to see it brings you comfort.

I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

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?

I'm actually really sorry that I engaged it again. For real
Well I started it. Saw the response from forever ago and those stupid quotation marks had me
I'm gonna be the bigger person and say I'm sorry before feelings get hurt over anything I've
