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?
#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.
Breastfeeding. I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.
Hey breastfeeding mamas sooooo I need some suggestions on how to increase milk supply I’m breastfeeding every 2-3 hours and pumping as well but my baby has a hard time latching so I use a latch guard which helps but I still feel like my milk flow isn’t what it should be I really want to keep breastfeeding and pumping cause I know it’s best for my babe but want to produce more so I don’t have to supplement with formula
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up with something before are baby is here. can anyone help??

You need to breastfeed around the clock and allow the baby to build supply. if he wants to eat for 3 hours then let him. No need to pump

If you dont pump or breastfeed you are telling your body not to produce any milk. It doesnt work the opposite way. the more you supplement, the less you will produce

If he has at least 6-8 wet diapers a day, he's getting enough

@hollydolly2021, that’s what I figured, I do like all the benefits that comes with it. So Idid still want to use my breast milk even if I had to use formula to

@tayyandgrayy hopefully it will get better soon for you but even if you can't exclusively breastfeed I wouldn't suggest giving up breastfeed but supplement that way baby gets breast milk still

@hollydolly2021, I’ve been thinking that I haven’t been getting him on a good latch, I do try the pinch and when he opens wide putting it in his mouth, sometimes it feels better, sometimes not.

@mamaofzuri, I love breastfeeding, but I’m so terrified he’s not getting as much as he needs. It is super stressful, yet so much easier than formula. I just got some nipple cream yesterday that I’ve been putting on, hasn’t done much yet, but hopefully in the next few days it’ll be better.

The tender and soreness sounds like a not so good latch you shouldn't be sore or tender try to get the baby to latch on this is what a lactation consultant just taught me hold your boob up don't pinch or squeeze or anything just hold it up and point your nipple towards babies nose and the baby will open mouth wide and baby will latch on and it gets a better latch

@hollydolly2021, yeah, I’ve had him in bed with me the last few nights. And I have noticed, my boobs hurt more at night and he’s up more often lol

Yeah I get that and at night is when they nurse the Most it's also when you produce the most. Mine sleeps with me at night and I let him nurse through the night at his own will I am a very light sleeper and he stays on most of the night so it's easier just to have him in bed with me and cuddled up and we all get more sleep that way

@mamaofzuri, I’ve been so worried that’s he’s still hungry, he hasn’t fell asleep at night unless he’s on my boob. I do want to continue breastfeeding but with as much as he’s been on them, they are tender and sore

Breastfeed first then bottle and while bottle feeding try to pump also pump after his night feedings you get more, I've never been able to produce enough so I've supplement with formula with my daughter and now my son try getting some lactation cookies and teas etc they will help as well as massaging will help
