I’m kind of offended right now. He doesn’t want our son to be a “titty baby” as he gets older. But our son isn’t even two weeks old yet. He will be two weeks tomorrow. That’s entirely too early to wean him and my boyfriend just thinks it would be easier to do it now and just pump. 😒

I didn’t know my daughter was lip tied so at the time I began to pump instead. Machines do not mimic the exact suction as a baby mouths and baby’s saliva triggers your body to produce more milk once it makes contact with your breasts. Eventually, my milk supply went from flowing to just drops per day. Do what’s right for you.

Wow!! My husband has been so supportive while breastfeeding ALL Our children... Your SO needs to do some research on his own time about how hard pumping is/can be... Feed your baby how you choose, don't listen to him! Unless he's a lactation specialist tell him to shut tf up 😉

In a way it’s not his fault. His mother wasn’t the best and nobody in his family has ever breastfeed so it’s new for him. But he still needs to be more supportive of it for sure!
DМногодетная мама (10 детей)
@tylersmommy11116 I understand! My husband had the same scenario, he was bottlefeed and all his cousins were too... He just knew breast was best, and helped when he could. Your SO REALLY should do some reading. Just tell him you'll decide to switch it up when you want to.

Pumping is super hard and eventually you will produce less and less milk. I think by 7 months I was down to only getting about an ounce out of each side in a half hour pump session. Cleaning bottles is very time consuming also.

That’s what I told him. I still have a few weeks before I go back to work, I wanna take this time to just get into a “routine” and just breastfeed before I start pumping.

comfort nursing is normal, maybe your SO is saying that bc you seem stressed from it. but he will realize it's all part of the experience and hopefully stops this weaning talk 😐 and my son was a "titty baby" and comfort nursed to sleep til he was 14m 🤷🏽♀️ no shame in the game lol

I 1000% regret not breastfeeding our first son. I have told him I’m a little stressed out with breastfeeding but I also told him it won’t last forever. Me & baby both are just still learning. It hasn’t even been a full two weeks... & I didn’t start breastfeeding until after a couple of days being home because the nurses at the hospital were making it even more stressful! It’s been so much easier learning in the comfort of my own home lol

@tylersmommy11116, exactly, it's a process that takes time! if you ever need pointers or advice you can message me, i did it all on my own too cause the nurses also stressed me out

He probably is nursing for comfort but that’s very normal. I would just ignore your bf’s suggestions and keep breastfeeding until YOU decide otherwise. Don’t let anyone pressure into stopping. Pumping is great but there are additional benefits to actually being on the breast.

Comfort nursing is a thing. He’s helping you to regulate your supply. I wouldn’t concern your boyfriend with breastfeeding matters if a “titty baby” is what he thinks breastfed babies are.
KailaМама двоих (младенец)
It makes you feel good if they are just comfort nursing. I’m still all he really knows so it makes me happy when he finds comfort through me.

Please do what’s right for you. I had a friend whose boyfriend pressured her to stop and she did it but you could tell part of her was miserable. Use your intuition because when it comes to our children, guys have to build their intuition up where as we already have it. Plus, cluster feeding is a real thing, you might be seeing that first big growth spurt real soon

I let him talk me out of breastfeeding our first. But I refuse to do that this time. I felt guilty for a while, I don’t want to feel that way again!
AdrienneМама сына (1 год)
Every baby is different. I stopped nursing at 14 months. At the sitter he had bottles but everywhere else he nursed on demand. He was quick to come off the boob and then stopped the bottle right after that.
Not a titty baby after 14 months of lots of titty 😂
KailaМама двоих (младенец)
@addy, our oldest was super easy to take off of the bottle. I know every baby is different and bottle feeding is not the same as breastfeeding but I love breastfeeding! It’s satisfying knowing my child is STILL getting everything he needs from me ❤️
AdrienneМама сына (1 год)
@addy also, as a man he likely doesn't know all that much. Which is ok. You may have to show him some articles lr just relay info. Or, better yetn have him go to a doc appt with you and ask the doctor in front of him.

@tylersmommy11116 I loved it too....i cried when i had to stop. My cycle came back and my supply plummeted! I tried everything to get it back.
I'm glad I was able to as long as I was.
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?
Question. I just left my husband for cheating and now hes been harassing me. Hes threatening to come get our son. I dont care if he sees his son but I'm not comfortable with him leaving with him bc hes never taken care of him a day In his life and he might use him against me. Am I wrong for feeling this way??
Our list of names so far...but we can't agree on a single one!! We find out the gender in two weeks so at least that will eliminate one column!
I'm 27 weeks now and I just counted baby boys movements and he is moving a lot but he isn't kicking me as strong and making my belly move like he used to two weeks ago 😔😔

pumping all the time sucks. Your baby is sooo young still. Ds3 father used to do this and my mother too. This time we aren't stopping nursing until he wants to.
