Breastfeeding moms have a question...
My son is 8 weeks old and I breastfeed only.. last two days he has been latching on but I don’t think he is sucking to Sri k. He stays on for about 20 mins and falls asleep I still sit him up and then he wakes after a while like he is still hungry. My breast are still full and leaking as if he did t drink anything at all.. how do I know if he is drinking?? He is latched on that much I feel.. I end up having to pump because I start leaking. Any advice?

Have you tried un latching and re latching go make sure he’s deep enough
@alishap1212, I don’t think it’s clogged cause I’m leaking everywhere..maybe I’m just filling up faster?? Cause I pump 20 mins after feeding him cause I get engorged
@joannekk88, oh that’s right you did mention that sorry I’m tired it was a rough night last night lol ... might be worth it to call the dr and let them know he’s not latching good they might want you to see a specialist... is he having wet diapers
@alishap1212, no worries haha I k ow those nights.. and yea he has wet diapers and is sleeping fine not fussy.. it’s just so confusing
My kid still uses me as a damn pacifier! Drives me nuts right now! But honestly I could tell he was eating verses just comfort suckling because my breast would get soft and you can also tell by the way they suck. I feel eating is more of an aggressive and more frequent sucking verses comfort sucking with they do at longer intervals. If you have any lactation consultants around or they have one at the hospital you can also go down and do a weighing before and after a nursing session to see precisely how much he is drinking. Also check to see if his hand is clenched or open and relaxed as clenched can indicate he is still hungry.
Does nursing hurt you at all? Could be a lip or tongue tie that is causing issues with proper milk transfer too. :/
His hands are open then sometimes clenched. And no doesn’t hurt me.. he making movements with his mouth like he sucking but after feeding him it’s like I have a huge let down and leak everywhere so I don’t know if he ate or not
He could be suckling like a paci. Both of my kids do this when nursing sometimes. You can usually tell if their drinking by the noise they make like a swallowing noise. He could also be cluster feeding because of a growth spurt as well.
Yea I don’t hear the swallowing sound I usually hear..
@joannekk88 yeah he's probably using it as a paci then maybe.
You know by the amount of diapers. Trust your diaper count. A wet diaper is one that if you dropped it on the ground would plop.
Usually we change his diapers before it gets to heavy. And he finally pooped after 3 days of not going.
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
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.

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...
You should see movement close to his ear when he’s really swallowing. If he’s just suckling it’ll be smaller movement closer to him mouth. Secondly I’d message your breast to let the milk come down. This will remind him what he’s supposed to be doing.
