Mom guilt is real. We had a really traumatic delivery and nothing went according to plan, but I could at least look forward to breastfeeding. Well. My LO is struggling with breastfeeding and we’ve been waiting to see a lactation consultant again to work on her latch more. This past weekend is a rough one for me emotionally and I’ve been pumping instead since this weekend just to save all our sanity and I’m barely pumping enough each time to get through the next bottle. I wish breastfeeding came easier or I could pump more. I’m afraid I’ll have to give this up too if I can’t figure something out and I feel like she is gonna be missing out on things she needs :/
We try to latch a few times a day still but it just gets too painful to do for extended periods of time because she won’t latch deep and ends up mashing my nipple the whole time, which effects her ability to pull milk out since everything’s all pinched off.
@ambrbratz, aww I can imagine how stressful that is. I know you’re waiting to see your LC but look on YouTube in the meantime. There’s loads of different “tutorial” type videos on different holds. I always got on best with the rugby hold for a deeper latch. Stay really well hydrated and try not to stress, you’re doing your best that’s all you can ask of yourself a
It happens and it's very hard and stressful. My older 2 I couldn't nurse and felt bad. My 4 yr old I nursed for almost 3 yrs. I'm hoping I can nurse this baby.
Good luck!!
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?
Going off these makeup posts...
If you were told to completely clear out your makeup bag and were only allowed to keep *3 products* for a more natural/lighter look what would you keep? What are your top three staples? And what are some products you use a lot BUT know it is something you could definitely go without.

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...
Hey I’m 26 with two children #myfirstpost
Okay I’ll be real and explained why I joined, I didn’t know I could be looked up or anyone would actually see this post, I was informed someone I know has been stealing pics and I came to look and see what’s going on if any of mine were on there or anyone else I knew. I just typed until it let me post since it was required before I could look around on the app.
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
Keep putting baby on the breast, even if you then give a bottle. It’ll help to keep your supply going and regulate how much you need to produce.
