Breast feeding didn't work because my son had issues with latching. Now I am trying exclusive pumping but I can't keep up with my son's feedings. I always start out with enough to feed him throughout the day and then at night I start to run out and don't end up pumping enough to keep up with what he's eating. Its getting so frustrating. I was so dedicated to breast feeding this time. I seriously want to cry. 😢

@naomilynn21, PUMP AT NIGHT. Put baby to bed and pump at 3am or so whether they get up or not! Drink AT LEAST a gallon. I am making enough to keep up with my sons needs but not an oversupply yet for back to work. But I also take fenugreek and breeds yeast. Also just got some tea that I am hoping sets it over the edge and does what I need!! But those wee hours of the morning are the best times its when prolactin is highest and you make the most milk!
I've been trying to pump every two hours but it's hard to stay on schedule with that. I'm sure I cant keep my supply up because I'm not pumping enough. I also haven't been pumping at night.
Honestly if you're wanting to be committed and you really want to breast feed id go back. Some hospitals also have breastfeeding groups/ classes led by LC's and they're weekly. And I've never used one but I heard nursing shields help with latching.
how often do you pump. I was feeding my child the same way but I couldn't get her to latch on right so I just pump. I pump every three hours or just when my boobs feel full.
@carterclaytonb I saw one in the hospital and she gave me some great help but he won't even latch on at all lately.
Have you tried going to a lactation consultant to help with the latching?
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...
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
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.
