@wynbird, pumping won't take milk away from your baby. there is ALWAYS milk. so even if you pump before nursing, there's still milk. but there most likely won't be any foremilk (which is okay. foremilk/hindmilk imbalance is a myth) the only thing "bad" that comes out of pumping is creating an oversupply, which has a whole host of issues. and that only happens if you respond very well to pumping and pump A LOT. once or twice a day will barely change your supply usually.
@taylorrleee1, your babies saliva communicates with your body telling your body exactly what type of milk it needs. so if your baby is getting sick and you nurse your body behinds producing antibodies in the milk to pass over to the baby and stop that sickness in its tracks. pumping doesn't effect that though. you're body still produces the same formula of milk until babies saliva tells it to change.
I haven't had experience yet but I took a breastfeeding class and she said it's best to wait at least 6 weeks to pump that way your body is used to your baby's schedule and your milk supply is up enough. there are certain things (can't remember what she called them) in your babies saliva that will make your milk just how baby needs it and when that a breast pump doesn't have so it could throw that off if you start pumping too early. hope this helps a little bit :)
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
