Hi ladies, I’ve been breast feeding(pumping) for about two weeks now and substituting formula at night for my daughter but I’m noticing my milk production has gone down a bit. I drink mothers tea and eat lactation cookies and I’m not noticing any difference in production. Do you ladies have any tips on how to be successful at breastfeeding it’s becoming overwhelming now. I didn’t want to depend on formula again and it looks like I’m going to have to if my milk doesn’t come out how it was in the first week.
Stop supplementing. Everytime you use something besides your breast you are telling your breasts they dont need to make that milk
@tooserious86, thank you I’ll keep doing the skin to skin I feel like that works best anyway. My first week that’s all I did. I need to get back to it
The more u breastfeed the more milk u produce. U can increase how much u breast feed to pick it back up also do a lot of skin to skin (bare). I have even pumped with my baby on my chest before. But once u slack on the amount ur body slows down.
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...

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...
Stop using formula. You’re telling your body to make less milk. Supply is based on demand and if you’re bottle feeding your baby and not pumping then your body won’t know that it needs to produce more. Just nurse nurse nurse! Like every hour if you have to.
