Breastfeeding mama I'm drying over here I'm 13m old son has never slept thru the night the first time he wakes I bring him to my bed and he sleep here the rest of the night usually he last 3-4 hr in crib well I been trying to break the habit since a new baby is coming and he has done pretty good as far as going back to sleep after I nurse and rock. He hasn't woke since 2:30 am and I'm drying like one boob is literally 4 times the size of other it's killing me while I firmly believe not wake a sleeping baby I tempted also I don't want to express bc then he will wake up and not have as much and I figure he has to b starving how did u transition from your bed to crib. He usually nurses about 5 times per night

@txyogagirl actually I didn't start pumping until she was already 2 months old. I had been expressing but the milk just kept coming so I just switched to the pump to make it faster. I spend less time getting the milk out and more time doing what I want.
@kaytibug2009, sorry for your loss that's awesome ur donating. Ur body is making so much because your using a breast pump I don't pump for the very reason I don't want oversupply. It just causes problems I haven't had any issues at all with breastfeeding almost 14months strong. If u ever stop pumping or can't u will get engorged so don't let ur baby sleep along stretch until you slowly wean from pump otherwise u be like me . I just had no clue it could happen so fast literally like 8hr
@txyogagirl because I produce so much milk I have some in the freezer for when my daughter needs it and we go on a trip or if I put her in daycare... the rest of the milk though I donate to the hospital because they will process it and run it through their systems and then give that milk out to NICU babies or to babies who their mothers are having problems being able to produce milk but they do not want the babies on formula so either way I am able to help out someone in need and I'm able to feed not only my daughter but their children.
@txyogagirl I was supposed to have twins and because of that my body makes Milk enough for twins. With the loss of my son, I don't think that my body ever regulated for that so I have to pump after my daughter is done eating because my boobs still feel so heavy and full and will hurt if I don't. There are a lot of times where I can pump before my daughter eats and then she will eat and get full and then I can pump afterwards and I still have almost 2 to 3 oz coming out of each breast. If my daughter does not eat on a set schedule then I can pump out five to six oz out of each breast and when she does eat then I will normally pump out 2 to 3 oz out of each breast. So I would not say that I have officially regulated to having just one baby.
I just seen I misspelled a ton of words 🙈🙈obviously my mind wasn't thinking My body had the shakes so bad glad to be all better now
@arivera64, yea I just don't wanna get over supply I actually ended up getting a mastitis from this one issue so I have been in bed a day or so but feeling much better now. Next time forget it who cares if I have over supply not worth the risk or pain
@kaytibug2009, he will sleep in the crib but I can't handle it is what I mean. Mama can't go this long without nursing how did u regulate your supple to adjust to the new amount needed
Your milk continues to replenish. If you express he will still get the amount he needs. If anything he will have more because the more milk you express, the more milk your body thinks you need to make
I use to think the same thing, but it's not true. I pump so I don't hurt and even sometimes before my LO eats. She still gets plenty of milk. I can even pump after she is done eating and there is still a little bit of milk that comes out. As for the transition, you need to take a shirt or blanket that smells like you and your milk and lay that with the child. That's what helped my baby and she sleeps great in her crib as long as she has that blanket.
Go ahead and express. He will still have more than enough. I promise. Express until you're comfortable again.
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...

Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
@kaytibug2009, that's awesome keep up the good work 😀
