So I’m breastfeeding my son I never breastfed my daughter so I’m very new to this and well I been pumping mostly because I want to make sure he’s getting what he needs and I see it better that way whereas when he’s on my breast I’m not sure if he’s getting enough or if he’s even getting it at all. And I just feed him the bottle and he wants my breast each time afterwards even if he’s been on there a long time. Idk 😐
make sure you eat enough iron rich foods and speak to your pediatrician if he is not gaining enough weight see if he needs to go on iron rich rice cereal with breast milk some babies need food earlier then others
Breastfeeding offers baby the chance to feed, receive comfort and regulate breathing and temperature.
The thing with pumping is that a baby will always be able to get more milk from a breast than a pump. So the amount of milk you get from pumping isn’t the total volume of what your breast can produce.
Having cuddles and skin to skin while baby feeds and comfort suckles will help boost your supply.
Enjoy your snuggles😊
They have a need to comfort suck and it also helps your supply.
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...
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.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
You will know if baby isn’t getting what he needs 😊
Feed on demand and drop the pumping if you want to. If not and you want to exclusively pump, make sure you have a breast pump that simulates 40-60 sucks so you can maintain supply.
The clearest indication of baby getting enough is diaper output, happy and healthy with weight gain. Trust your body 😊 we are made for this.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions and you should look into joining a local la Leche league or talking to a BF counselor to help.
