Any moms on here struggling with too strong of a milk output? My supply came in pretty strong and quickly and I can see that my tiny baby is struggling to handle the output 🤪 I think it is also making him gassy. I've started trying to squeeze some of it out first and that seems to help him latch on but I still feel like it's not as comfortable for him as it could be. This breastfeeding thing isn't rocket science but it can be complicated. I've been spilling milk everywhere including all over my baby's face lol
I spent the first two weeks at home with my babies basically topless bc I have forceful letdown and I was constantly spraying milk freaking everywhere. Eventually had to start block-feeding with my son. But little girl seems to be handling it better. She still gags on my milk from time to time.
Very common at first. It's good that you're expressing some before latching, you might have to do that for a week or so. If you don't have one, get a fluid syringe. You can feed your baby the milk easily and he won't develop nipple confusion or breast aversion. It gets easier for them by 2 weeks they have to learn 😊 hang in there
I had to pump before I could feed bcuz there was so much she was nurse for a few seconds and choke Everytime it was so sad and she had to eat so fast to
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
WORST FCKN DAY EVER! I'm a single mom now, all I've been doing is crying since 10 this morning. I know that I can do this, and that I have to be strong for my babies but I am so sad and I miss him!
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...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
So this has nothing to do with my pregnancy but it's a thought I've been having lately: when I first met my husband I told him I was bisexual but willing to date him as long as my past was never bought up in our relationship.... been married for 4 years now and lately I've been missing a female touch... I don't love him any less in fact I love him more each day but sometimes I miss that intimacy
Hand express before nursing him, lay on your back while nursing
