I never realized how incredibly frustrating breastfeeding is. I feel like such a failure, constantly wondering what I could have done sooner to make this easier. I didn't even budget formula because I was so set on breastfeeding. It feels like I dried up:(. Last baby boy breastfed was two days ago, once on both boobs (thank goodness because I was so engorged). If I'm not engorged he won't latch. He has to smell, see, and taste the milk before I can even think about putting him on. What do I do?😥 all I wanna do is make milk for this baby and fuck it's hard! Ugh

milk changed colors all throughout breast feeding. I had pumped some milk once that was super yellow because my baby was sick! I had a friend pump milk that had a blue look to it! and no its not normal for it to hurt the whole time, the initial latch will sting a little but it's not supposed to hurt. had baby been checked for lip and tongue ties? lip tie ruined my breast feeding with my first and i had my 2nd checked immediately for one and it helped so much! try getting in to see a lactation consultant. hospitals usually have one on staff and they'll help you a lot. @jesjeslovesyou

@chelseaepley, thank you sooo much! I just want to be the best mom and I know how amazing milk is. I wish I could see the milk lol. Is it normal for it to hurt when he's latched on? And when I hand express very very little milk comes out. It's actually clear looking so I don't know if it's milk or what.

your milk is probably just regulating! it's its totally normal to not be engorged anymore. your body knows what he needs abd thats all you make. try hand expressing a little to get a letdown before you latch him on. to keep your supply up, latch him on frequently. every time he fusses, latch him on! it's supply and demand. the more he eats the more you make. and drink lots of water, like so much you feel like you're going to float away. every thing will work out. breastfeeding is scary becuse you cant physically see how much baby is eating. as long as he's having 6 or more wet diapers a day and is gaining good, hes getting enough. trust your body momma, it was made for this! :)

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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

At What Age Should a Child Make Their Own Breakfast?

Make your own breakfast! At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
