Hard time breastfeeding
I had my daughter November 23 and went to her first pediatrician appointment today. The doctor was very concerned because she has lost a pound since birth. I have not supplemented her at all since birth , only given her breastmilk. Her pediatrician wants her to be supplemented with formula. I am so disappointed though because I don't want her to get nipple confusion. I tried breastfeeding my first child and had to give up because I introduced formula too soon and he would no longer breastfeed. I will be very disappointed if I have to formula feed this baby. Any tips, insight?

My only recommendation is to use a nipple that reduces the chance of confusion. I've used TommeeTippee and Munchkin Latch to feed him breast milk since he was 5 days. They are supposed to mimic the shape of a nipple, reducing confusion. My guy had a latching issue and lost 15% of his body weight. He's now gained 1lb 6oz in 7 days. I also introduced a paci at 3 days old, and we haven't had any issues. Be persistent, mama, and listen to what you feel is right. I would try a bottle of breast milk before formula, but the choice is entirely yours.
I too had to supplement because my daughter lost a pound. I supplemented 1oz of formula after I nursed her for two weeks. At first I was heartbroken. But she gained it all back and I don't have to supplement anymore and we didn't have an issue with nipple confusion. Good luck and don't give up!
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...
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

Jace lost a pound also. He's 6 days now, we went yesterday to his first appt and she said to supplement. His latch isn't perfect because of my flat nipples ? we tried a nipple shield and it just didn't work for us. So what I do now is pump all that I can which is only 1-1.5 oz from each and I give him that. She said he needs 1-2 oz. So if I come up short on my pump I'll supplement with an oz of formula. We go to check his weight today. I know he's getting what he needs because his wet/poo diapers have increased. Unfortunately, Jace isn't showing interest in my boob anymore
