Breastfeeding Questions...
My baby is 2 days old today and I could not get her to latch so she has been taking a bottle but I'm still getting drops out of my breasts. I was wondering if I go home today and start pumping if I would be able to get a supply going even though I'm not breastfeeding at the moment and just pump milk that she can drink from a bottle?
I pump and than give it through a bottle. Kinda nice bc others can help you feed the baby! Everyone has their own way of doing it
yes. do lots of skin to skin! pump every 2 hours. you could also try a nipple shield.
hi its not to late to get her to latch...my sister finally got her son to latch at 4 weeks..but definitely pump every two hrs from morning to night..i pumped for a whole yr for my son because he did not latch and i didnt take the time to make him latch because i was so frustrated..if i could do it all over again i would of made him lacth on..but with my next baby i will...pumping exclusively is a hassle you constantly have to wash pump parts over and over.. when its so much easier to just put a tit in the baby mouth lol
Did you see a lactation consultant for her latch? I believe there's also YouTube vids for it too
Yes pump every two hours for a couple days and don't get frustrated if it's not a lot 😊 good luck
Sure. I mean, I'm no expert, but if you're still lactating and the pump works for you, then do it! Doesn't hurt to try, if that's what you want! :-)
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...

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week.

IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
