BREASTFEEDING MOMS!!
I have to return to work the beginning of December and I'm in a panic. I seem to produce just enough for my baby...no more. So its basically impossible for me to build up a stash of breastmilk for my mom to give her when she watches her when I return to work. Right now I maybe have 20oz or so stored up. I take fenugreek 2 pills 3x a day. I drink the mini Gatorades. Eat the lactation cookies. Drink water. Nurse frequently. But I dont know what to do to have even the slightest oversupply so I can start a stock. Any suggestions?

You don’t need a huge stash. Just enough for a couple days to get you going cause baby will eat what you pump at work for the next day. But try pumping after baby goes to bed or after the first morning feed (you generally have the most then) even if you only get an ounce...start saving them up and combining it to make full bottles. You can do it!
I'm just worried about making sure I have some sort of stash when I go back on call in case I work late or into the night. But yeah I need to just combine the little bits I can get!
Try drinking Mother's Milk Tea. Worked like a charm when I was loosing my supply with my first. I ended up being able to breastfeed/breastpump for at least a year.
Does your baby eat from both sides at each feed? What helped me build a small stash was pumping one side while my son ate from the other. I was able to pump at work, so I would pump what I needed for the next day and never really had an issue with needing a stash. I really was panicked about it but it ended up being just fine. I was able to pump at work until I weaned him at 14 months.
She HATES my left and refuses to eat from it bc it doesn't produce as much and has a slower letdown. I will try that!
I should add I've tried supplementing her with formula so I can pump sometimes and she was taking that fine but is now refusing formula altogether so the pressure is really on for me to provide breastmilk for her when I go back to work
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.
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...
Planning on another baby...?
So for my first time moms when do you plan on having your second child?
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill?
He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over...
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
Also I forgot to mention if you still leak from the opposite breast when feeding I would use a silicone suction pump while nursing to get a little extra during let down. Again you can add up all these little bits!
