Having internal conflict.... I've been determined to breastfeed my baby but she wouldn't latch so I've been pumping for her. But my left nipple is blistering and bleeding and shows no signs of getting better.. I'm in a ton of pain and thinking of just switching to formula but I can't bring myself to do it..
You may have inverted nipples. Maybe try a nipple shield until your nipples are trained to come out on their own. It's easier for the baby to latch to just always try getting your LO to directly attach first then resort to the Shield lastly
The pain truly goes away after 2 weeks of grueling pain it went away I wanted to cry at times it hurt so bad but your nipples will definitely heal and be fine
It will get better I promise! At one point I cried when she latched from the blistering but after a week or two, I haven't had any cracking or pain in the 5 months I've been nursing.
Lansinoh make gel pads that go over your nipples. Id put calendula on mine then the pads so they would soothe and heal. Such a relief. Dip your bad nipple in warm salt water then dry it gently and apply cream. They will heal eventually promise!! I know how youre feeling. Dont give up you can do 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...
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...
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.
Whatever you do, DONT SUDDENLY STOP PUMPING. With my first child she wouldn't latch, and the pumping hurt me as well so I stopped pumping suddenly and I got mastitis. My nipple on the breast I got it, has never been the same. It's flat now and that one breast is much bigger than the other. The pain of the mastitis was overwhelming. I ended up going to the hospital and they wrapped some bandage around me.
