Every time I pump I make less and less. I'm starting to think I'm drying up. I've always had issues with not making enough but it's getting worse. I normally make 3.5-4.5 ounces on my right breast, but now I'm struggling just to get 3. This is really upsetting me because she only likes breast milk and won't eat formula unless there's a little bit of breastmilk in it. I take fenugreek, I drink over a gallon of water a day, I use heat packs. I guess I can try lactation cookies again, but I don't know if they'll help as much as they used to

@hayhayes1, yeah that would be hard since you're in Missouri and I'm in Kentucky. I did have a friend who was selling her extra milk but idk if she still is. It's just upsetting when you don't make enough for your own baby

@hayhayes1, I do that sometimes to help keep a good supply of breastmilk but I'm just melting bags faster than I can fill them even when I do that. I want to be able to give her breastmilk her whole first year

bye bitches.

it's really sad but when they are absolutely hungry they will drink the formula. I felt so bad when my baby first started formula but it was doctors orders. I could tell he hated it.. but he's adapted to it. because he was hungry. you could always mix it half and half all together

My doctor also recommended me getting the flu shot while pregnant ? I'm not sure if I want to or if i should ? It's all scary to me !! What do you ladies think ? Did you get the flu shot while pregnant ? Are there any risks? Or should I wait ? I'm so scared of taking anything while pregnant , much less getting this shot.. He said it isn't mandatory , just recommended.

Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

so irritated! so I'm trying to sell some dipes on diaper swappers and they are all less than a month old (except for about 4-5, and I put that in the description). a lot of them were only used 2-5 times, because I was trying to decide if I liked the dipe or not. so I priced almost everything at 50% of retail and then added like a dollar for shipping (which is $1.50-$2 less than what shipping will actually cost) so after I shipped I'd make less than 50% of what I paid, especially after pp fees come out. and people keep offering me wayy below what I'm asking. one woman asked me for dipes for a price that would be like her getting two of them for free based on my asking price. and they were all ones used less than 5 times. in EEEUC.
