Just curious how long did you mamas BF for? I'm barely hanging on at 2 weeks lol! In my opinion, there is no "right" way or better yet "best" way to feed your baby. Whatever works for you works for you. But I still can't help but to feel guilty if I do stop breastfeeding. Ugh why must I be so indecisive😭
Six amazing months! I had supply issues during the first month and it was so overwhelmingly difficult at times, I thought about stopping every day. Looking back now I would absolutely endure everything again tenfold in order to be in the place I am now! I am so glad I didn't give up (: the bond my son and I have is priceless 🖤
Good for you mamas! I guess I'll just have to see how things go for myself & for my daughter. I have to learn to not be so hard on myself & just focus on what I can do instead of what I can't.
6 months and counting! The first month is definitely the hardest. I almost exclusively pumped for about the first month because my son refused to latch properly 😑 I want to continue for at least 1 year.
Going on 7 months!! There's time I say formula will be easier but it's worth the bond we have while breastfeeding annnnddd less dishes to do 😹
Im almost 7m strong 💧
I thought about quitting at least a thousand times but here I am. I won't be surprised if im one of those weirdos nursing a 5yr old lmao
Almost 9 months with triplets 😊😊😊 @_wanderingstar personally for me it was the best & better way but I don't feel like any mama should feel guilty if and when they stop. Feel proud for the amount of time you do it. I will say in the beg I didn't feel like I do now, I love it and my favorite feedings are the midnight ones.
Maternity leave
Sorry ladies if this has already been asked but when are you guys going on maternity leave? I was thinking about working all the way up until my due date but with my work schedule, I may take it earlier
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Do you really think the way you are raised
Has no impact on when and how you decide to have sex? I read a comment on another thread that really rubbed me the wrong way. Something about how teens have sex and there's just no stopping it no matter how you raise them.
I really don't understand the judgment between being a working mom or a stay at home mom. If you need to work, work. If not, don't. No need to degrade other women for doing the opposite of you. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
You know you have children when...
You get to work and notice that your pants have smudges of unidentifiable origin from the knee down. ?
12 weeks and going! The first month was tough! M didn't latch properly due to several factors. At 5 days old, I had to begin pumping and bottle feeding after every nursing to ensure she was getting enough nutrients. After 2-3 wks, just when we found our rhythm, I got mastitis and had to nurse while sick and in pain. I'd like to nurse for a year but we'll see. I fear the teething stage. 😔
