Any moms able to pump with cracked nipples? Ouch! I don't even know how that side got cracked cause I've only been nursing from one side lately and now my LO dr is telling me if I'm not nursing that side to at least pump it to keep my supply up but I can't right now. It won't dry up completely will it?
@ciraclesmiracle, @shananaginsx, @ssdj4, thx ladies I've been using cream and it's helping a little but it still hurts to pump not the actual nipple but the ring around it that pulls when you pump 😩
As others said, nipple balm and keep pumping or you will dry up! Also, put breast milk on your nipples and allow them to "air out" for a while after each pumping. Sorry, I'm sure you're suffering. It's not fun.
make sure you use nipple cream hun. I will completely dry up if you don't pump. Mine dried up quickly with my first.
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Could you have the wrong size of flange(the tube thing)? My friend has really small nipples and the size that came with the pump was too big and was hurting her. When she sized down to a smaller flange it was much better. The flange that comes with the pump is just an average size--you can get ones that are bigger or smaller to suit you.
