I just really wish I had some kind of support from someone who knows relactation. I wish we had consultants in my area. the only help I had were the nurses that all kept telling me the same thing. I just want to breastfeed my baby from my breast. not from a bottle. but first I need to build up enough milk. having inverted/flat nipples is the worst. and it's even worse when no one knows how to help. im so frustrated I'm just here crying trying to pump even a drop of milk and feeling like a failure for giving up in the first place
I went to breastfeeding class last night to learn and I'm so glad I did. @erin.c @rylees_mommy i learned a lot the lady was from la leche league I would look it up online they offer free help and I believe r all over. The consultants charge to come out to your home but I learn insurance can pay 5 visits and up to 10 for babies with other issues. I'm calling my ins tomorrow to find out how to get set up bc I want someone to come to my home even if I don't have problems just bc ins will pay. I still have little over one month til baby arrives so I pray it all works out for me and hope u ladies get to as well best of luck
Yeah I know I wish I would've believed it but I was going through ppd so I was taking everything negative someone said to me to heart... But if there is a next time I'm going to take it waaaay more serious than I did 😞😢
@rylees_mommy, I hope so too. and your breastmilk is good enough. your body makes it specifically designed for your baby
I'm sorry you're having a hard time I hope you get some success I wanted to try breastfeeding again but every time I bring it up to my mama she has a way of making me feel stupid and like my breastmilk isn't good enough or too nasty for her grandchild sadly she's the reason why I stopped so early wish I didn't let her get to me and continued but 😔😢 I guess as long as my baby is being fed and getting the nutrition she needs I can deal with it 😞but hope you can reach your goal!
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.

This is NOT happening !!!!!!! I swear I had given up! But I'm 5 days late and I just got my BFP ???




LADIES !!!!! IM IN SHOCK!!!! so my period showed up a day earlier than expected, as you know I took those two blue dyes, both had a faint positive. Well the next day, I tested with a FRER and a Walmart 88 cent test and both were very very negative. Then I had a temp drop below coverline. AF showed the following day, a day early. I just knew i was out !! Well, yesterday I was sick as hell when I woke up, i get to work, and discover that my boobs are very sore as i ran into a wall coming around th...

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
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.
@txyogagirl, thanks my baby is starting to eat solid foods and it's getting a little too late to try and breastfeed again .. I know any time is a good time but I'm completely dried up so about time I actually start getting progress she'll be done with formula all together plus she has like a mouth FULL of teeth!! 😂😂
