update: I need help. I don't know what to do.
I feel like I'm failing my daughter. I had such a great milk supply up until about a week ago and I started producing less and less. And now I am lucky to get 3 ounces from both sides. My daughter will start to eat and then pull off and scream and she just screamed so much that she threw up because she is hungry. I've been nursing her all day. I don't want to switch to formula and I'm afraid I might have to. What else can I do to fix my supply.
I pumped 6oz then fed some of it to my daughter and pumped 2 more as I was feeding her.
I love Gatorade. That would be awesome. But i also can't afford Gatorade so it will have to wait.
Well I just made some lactation cookies with flax seed fenugreek and brewers yeast. I'm not sure what the flax seed meal is for but it's in the recipe
Could fenugreek mess with my birth control.? I do not want to get pregnant again and I can't get a tubal until August. So I don't want to do anything to mess with my birth control. I couldn't find anything on it though
My children are asleep so i am going to lay down. I will probably get on in a few hours so I may take a bit to respond
No tongue tie that I know of. And she didn't start having issues feeding until mid last week and it started out once or twice a day she would cry at the breast but at night when I have filler breasts/more milk she is completely fine and eats well but during the day I make less and she screams while eating a lot. But this is a newer thing she always breast fed well until now actually up until last week I pumped about 9oz at a time. And now I get maybe 3. If I'm lucky. And she is throwing fits. I'm having to compress my breast to get more milk flow for her.
I have given pumped milk a few times but she hasn't gotten more than two or three bottles in the past few weeks
I give her medicine to help with teething I stop and burp her repeatedly through feeding and give her gas drops. And do bicycle excersizes. I don't think k it's gas or teething.
Yes she has wet diapers. And no i havent tried lactation cookies and I don't really drink unless I am really in the mood to drink. Which is rare
She is almost 7 weeks old. Sorry I was trying to get her and my son to sleep. She's was grumpy.

Update. The lactation cookies worked. I just pumped 8oz. I'm so happy.
Update 2. We have been doing great with breastfeeding. I beat the 3 month mark which is double to amount of time I breastfed my son. I'm so happy. Those cookies really work. I'll post the recipe if anyone wants it.. It's a great recipe. Although it says eat 5 a day..... I did not eat 5 a day....... Maybe 500 lmao ???
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...
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
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...
