Dont feel like retyping. but also. my milk is lessening. 3 weeks ago I was able to produce 4 ounce bottles like it was nothing. now I can barely get 20 ml out of both breasts during a 45 minute pump session. hot compressions are not working, eating healthy and extra calories are not working, hand expressing and massage isn't working, fenugreek isn't working. and drinking damn near 12 bottles of water isn't helping me either. can I get some insight on these cookies or maybe get some advice. I'm not that stressed if anything I'm doing much better than what I was. I just don't understand what happened. I ALWAYS pump every 3 hours like I should.
The nipple shield too? Just remember breastfeeding takes time and practice for baby to learn. I learned this in the hospital when I complained I tried 100x he wasn't hungry the nurse said try 101x
have you tried those pumping routines of 10 min on 10 min off for a little while? Also skin to skin with baby helps. Alsoin the morning gives more than night. Have you tried putting babies mouth to nipple? And trying to get a latch? Try that a few times a day every day! Or get a nipple shield and try to get baby to latch. Ink if you can't at all, but baby by breast releases the hormones for attachment AND milk
Have you heard of mothers milk tea? Also oatmeal is suppose to help! And if you look on Pinterest you'll find lactation smoothies and cookie recipes. My baby is 2 months and I'm dreading the day my production gets low :(
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...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
For Fun
With most of us in a sleep regression or exhausted from being working moms, or just plain bored I figured it would be fun to get a little game started... so who's up for 2 truths and a lie? It's easy.. you post 3 facts about yourself, 2 true and 1 lie and when you guess you post yours here's mine:
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.
yep. lactation consult and the peds doctor both are struggling trying to get him to latch, or even build interest in a breast. if you put him near one and express, he WILL scream he will not even try. the NICU just has him too used to bottle nipples. @tahtahme
