Boobs
My boobs are killing me. We ended up formula feeding since that's what they switched to in the NICU from donor milk. But now my milk has come in and my breasts hurt so bad!! They're solid I can't even hand express on one of them.

For what it's worth, BF never worked out for me for my son but I did pump for a couple weeks and gave him both bm and formula and he didn't seem to have an issue. Not trying to convince you either way, just throwing info put there in case you really wanted to try breast milk still. I found ice packs helped when mine were engorged. Good luck!
Thank you guys. I wanted to do breast milk but she's already on formula and she's taking well to it I wouldn't wanna upset her tummy by switching.
Oh man those first couple weeks of enforcement are so painful! Try a hand expressing in a hot shower or sticking your boob in a bowl of hot water or covering with a hot wet towel before hand expressing. I promise the engorgement doesn’t last forever. ?
Also, look up the “Engorgement Help: Reverse Pressure Softening” article on the Kellymom website to help Baby latch and get some milk out.
And that’s IF nursing is what you want - no judgment here. If you’ve committed to formula, then put cabbage leaves in your bra and only hand express enough to relieve pressure/don’t pump any out and don’t fully empty the breast. That way you’ll send the signal that you want to stop/don’t need as much milk.
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...
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.

I’ve definitely seen mamas do a mix of both BM and formula. Might be nice that way to wean your boobs off slowly rather than abruptly.
