It's so hard to explain the heartbreak I feel every time I have to admit that I'm not breastfeeding. And whenever I try people say, "I didn't and my kids turned out fine!" It's not that I'm worried about my son... it's that when I was trying to breastfeed I loved it. When I found out I couldn't, and it was never gonna happen, I was devastated. And that still hasnt gone away.
I nursed my baby for a full month and then had to stop due to her tummy being so sensitive to the foods I ate she'd constantly have loose stools and gas. She had to be put on nutramigen. She's been on formula for a week and a half now and I still wish I could've continued the breast feeding because it was such a special bond. But we have to do what's best for our babies and breastfeeding doesn't make you any better of a mother. You still have to wake up and feed them no matter if it's from a bottle or breast! Keep your head up mommy. I promise your LO won't hold it against ya! 😉
@moonslugg we tried pumping, we tried massaging, we tried it all. My milk never came in.
There wasn't a definitive moment, really. The hospital failed to have a lactation consultant visit me until my third day in the hospital. That's when we found out that all my "nursing" was for naught as I wasn't producing any milk. And then 2 weeks later I still hadn't. It just never came in. By then we were (obviously) strictly formula feeding, so even if it had come in, I dont know how he would have reacted. @ciciham
I don't know your situation but if you can, try pumping! :) that's what I am doing since I'm not nursing
How did you know you weren't going to be able to? That's one of the worries I'm having with my daughter right now. I just had her last night so I don't know how things will go, and I know it's not the end of the world if we can't, but it was just something that was important to me personally
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...
I think it's funny that all my exs want to come back into my life when they find out I had a baby and I'm engaged
I am FREAKING out. I told my therapist I smoke marijuana to help with morning sickness, and she reported me to her supervisor. They referred me to their drug clinic on the 11th, and I'm so nervous because when they drug test me and if it's positive, I already have an ACS case and they will report me to my worker. My friend suggested Niacin, 500mg twice a day for two weeks, but I'm nervous if it's safe for the baby. I'm going to drink a gallon of water a day and try to ingest vinegar....ladies I'...
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. ?
Random but I hate when guys rush into sex. It's like one kiss and bam it's out. Hold on wait a minute damn it I'm still graham cracker dry 😩😩😩😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
