ugh I am pumping every 3 hours. I'm so exhausted. I wish he would've latched on😢 I feel so defeated. I wanted to have a natural child birth and wound up having a c section. wanted to exclusively breastfeed him, and he doesn't want to latch on. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and its making me so depressed.
hang in there. you are doing great! you should find a good lactation consultant though.
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...
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.

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...
You're doing nothing wrong. Don't feel bad about the latch. Keep trying if that's what you have hope to do, but celebrate that you are able to pump and feed too. Every breastfeeding journey is different in my experience. My first didn't latch because she has a high palette, so I got a nipple shield and that made it work. My twins, one could latch, the other could not because she had low muscle tone. So I pumped for one and breastfed the other. I also always had formula on hand because, for me, it offered a back up plan if we were out and I forgot my shield or didn't have milk pumped.
