Tonight I'm feeling extra disappointed in myself. I have been trying to breastfeed my son and it went rather well at the hospital with some help from the nurses but we have been home since Saturday afternoon and I've only been able to get him to latch good maybe twice. This morning I ended up having to pump because I was so full and very tender. I've had to pump several times today because he is refusing to latch. I have still tried my best to get him to latch every feeding today and it didn't work. He has started pushing away from my breast and screaming no matter the position. Well just now due to endless screaming and very sore breast I warmed up some milk from a previous pumping session and gave him a bottle. It broke my heart to do it and I'm going to continue to try but I'm just not sure breastfeeding is for us. I however will continue to pump so he is still getting my milk as long as I can.

You can also call the hospital back and see if you can visit the lactation specialist. Look on YouTube as well for different techniques. Good luck. And when you pump don't use the highest setting

Also try hand expressing before you latch so your milk is already there until he can get the hang of latching on his own

I agree with the others, In addition to the other suggestions, maybe invest in a nipple shield... my daughter was a preemie, so we started out with pumped breast milk via tube then bottle feeding her, because she was not strong enough to suckle properly... when it was time to start trying the breast, the nipple shield help get a solid latch for her... eventually I was able to get her to latch direct to breast... but it was a good solution to make sure she was fed!

There's an app called Pacify. It allows you to speak to a LC via webcam. You can show them your latch and they'll help

Don't be sad he is still getting your milk. Just rememeber fed is best. Also you could try calling a lactation specialist. I had to trick my son with the paci to get him to start latching good if you are using one.

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?

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄

Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄 Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, tonight he asked for $20 incase his boss didn't give it to him. So I gave him my card not even thinking because I had kids running around me. I asked if he could pick up a few things that were out of and told him he could use my card if he has too. And I even told him not to get the expensive brands or anything m generic is fine. So he does. But when he does he decides to go Easter shopping for the kids. (Not sure if he used to my card or not) but if he did, I'd be even more pissed. He knows I have bills to pay on top of giving my son's school money that I owe them. He goes to a private school and I haven't paid in 5 months. It's towards the end of school now so I need to pay it. He knows this month I am extremely tight because of the school, im already in debt and my credit score sucks. I have been trying not to get in more debt and actually fix my credit. I'm so frustrated. It's like we have different priorities and different ideas on this. I feel like I'm completely drowning!!

Mommas who are separated from their childrens dad. If my sons father is to get our son every other Friday-Sunday, but then tells me halfway through the week he can't take him Friday until Saturday due to taking up an optional shift at work, can I legally tell him he either takes him Friday at his ordered time or doesn't get him? He's constantly cancelling whole weekends or taking our son a quarter of his ordered time. He also isn't following the meets on the order. Almost every Sunday he has him I get a message that he doesn't have a car so I have to get my son, or he tells me i have to run him out there. I'm already having cut hours at work and getting no child support from him since he's been continuously in and out of work.

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling, so i thank you for letting me share this with you ladies. You have always been nice and supportive. Happy birthday son, your mom loves you.
