Breastfeeding Mamas! So my little man is 2 weeks & 2 days, he is super impatient & wont nurse past my letdown (5/10mins) because he doesn’t want to work for the rest of the milk. I’ve been exclusively pumping with still trying to latch him every so often. The past two days my nipples have hurt SO bad.. They’re cracking & bleeding even though I use nipple balm. Since they’ve been doing this I’ve noticed these clumps coming out, and a few of them each pump. Is it clogged ducts passing? My breasts themselves don’t hurt. I produce a lot of milk if that helps. I’ve double checked & triple checked my flanges to make sure they are the right size in case that was causing my pain. I’m at a loss, have any of y’all experienced this? Pics in comments.

@momstatus, try to pump until you milk let’s down, then have him latch. That way your milk is right there ready.
@roth1321, I do! My letdown is super quick & heavy. Once he gets past the heavy flow he’s done working for it
@momstatus I'm not sure about the clumps but I will send a text to my LC and ask. Not sure I can help there, but as far as the let down and him being done after, he may be getting enough or it is too forceful at first. Keep in mind that a baby doesn't know how to BF any more than the mom until they learn. It's a team effort. Both of you must learn together. That book will help more than most of us on here. It's a great resource and you don't have to read the whole thing. Flip to the parts you need directly and read as much as you can. Sorry I wish I had more answers. My babies both pulled off at this age and I'm a believer that it's normal and will pass. As you go back and forth between breathing and bottle he will pick a favorite. If you want him bf'ing more and better it takes more nursing sessions and learning for both of you. Keep going mama! You'll get this together. As long as baby is growing and thriving you're doing great!
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...
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...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
Try just using your milk on the nips instead of the balm. If you are ep'ing it can take awhile for baby to get a good latch. With my first it was latch, damage, pump until healed, latch, damage pump until healed every weekend until she was two months old. Then we got a latch that I could tolerate and it got better as she learned to do better each feeding.
Get this book!!!!!! I cannot stress it enough!!!! It saved my BF experience and I'm going strong with baby 2.0.
"Breastfeeding Made Simple"
It will give you all the answers a good LC will give(get one of those, too) but is at your disposal even when your LC cannot be reached. Hope this helps.
