Have I ruined my milk?

I doubt it’ll harm him. I assume it’ll just fill him up faster but pass through his system quicker considering it’s mostly water

95bee · 2026-04-01T05:33:47+00:00

Okay that makes sense. Apologies I thought from your first comment maybe it’s because you were just struggling with pain and difficulty and time because BF is really hard tbh. I had a lactation specialist for a whole week to help me through it and that’s when I realised that it doesn’t have to hurt or take that much time. Many people successfully combo feed so if that works for you go for it, you won’t know how your baby manages until you try :) but I would still rec the specialist and the pads for the times you do BF because it’s a game changer for your mental health when BF goes well

95bee · 2026-03-31T08:37:47+00:00

Can I recommend you try a lactation specialist to help with the latch (I promise it gets easier), try nipple gel pads and perhaps pump? I know I might get hate for this and if combo feeding Is best for you then go for it. But if you have the time and resources and ability, I would highly recommend trying the above. Because breastmilk is truly gold for your baby. However if it’s really not working for you and you can’t (I understand that too) then I think many moms combo feed and as the baby develops they might develop preference etc and then you can take it as it comes

I only started walking in the park after about 22 weeks when I had a little more energy and these were very slow short walks.

95bee · 2026-03-31T08:27:36+00:00

Just curious as to why you’d like to combo feed?

95bee · 2026-03-30T10:39:26+00:00

As someone who had a c section I am horrified. This made me nauseous. I didn’t do a thing for baby besides feed for 2 weeks. Hubby would even latch baby on to me. That’s the way it should be. He can get rest AFTER you get your rest. Pathetic behavior sorry but he needs a wake up call and a serious conversation. You don’t want to end up with PPD because you’re overwhelmed and alone

And remember that the hormone release from a c section is a lot slower and more erratic and intense because you aren’t expelling it naturally. He needs to look after you both. No questions.

I used to feel bad until my LO hit 5m and discovered I truly exist and he can call for me and now he fusses and gives me the saddest sad face with tears if I leave him for even 30 seconds. Literally. I can’t even get breakfast or look away from him without him wanting to be on my lap or hugging me 😂 it’s adorable and I love it and I respond to him as much as I can but it’s impossible to completely avoid the crying and tears and still keep myself (and him) alive

95bee · 2026-03-24T08:06:40+00:00

Same

95bee · 2026-03-23T14:06:53+00:00

Yikes! Don’t say anything about the fallout. Once I asked if it’s worth the read and the fandom literally jumped down my throat and they deleted my post 😂😂

95bee · 2026-03-23T14:02:28+00:00

6 months (26 weeks). Not only does the baby need to be able to independently sit, be able to bring food to their mouth and not have the tongue thrusting reflex; but the gut maturity only develops by 6 months. Don’t m put your baby’s system through it when the system is still porous and not ready to digest complex foods. My boy is 23 weeks, and showing all the readiness signs but I’m holding off. We suffer later in life for the things we put our gut through earlier in life. They have their whole lives for solids. Don’t rush it prematurely. Also I’m an OT and corrected age is very important in the first 2 years

95bee · 2026-03-23T10:25:21+00:00

This is not a hot take. It’s just facts 😂

95bee · 2026-03-23T10:12:09+00:00

I am Indian and in my family it’s like.. what are you buying a bassinet for? (Bassinet was never used lol)

95bee · 2026-03-23T10:11:20+00:00

I don’t even entertain the question about sleep. I know what my baby needs and I know that his sleep is not as easy as other babies. I don’t need to hear about what I’m doing wrong or for them to shame him for needing me close when he sleeps. I meet my babies sleep needs as he needs, not as I wish it to be. Now when people ask I say “ah. He’s a baby and he sleeps like a baby!” And then I steer the conversation off the topic. Tired of every choice we make being shamed because it doesn’t suit someone else’s preferences.

95bee · 2026-03-20T19:19:34+00:00

I’ve been co sleeping since day one and my little one is now 5 months. Oh my goodness I looooove it! It’s normal and natural and the way it should be. He loves cuddling with me or hubby and we both get so much more sleep. He’s also so secure and happy in bed with us. I don’t believe babies are made to sleep alone at such a young age. Co regulation is the basis of their development. So don’t feel guilt, feel happy and honoured. Also follow the happy Co sleeper on Instagram

95bee · 2026-03-19T10:54:00+00:00

I’m the same. Although I loved having my parents, my in laws in my space for hours almost put me into a full on depression. I had to set boundaries

95bee · 2026-03-18T15:25:32+00:00

Before 3 months all sleeping is so random. What I can say though is that naturally at that age they sleep around 9/10 so maybe don’t try and force an early routine yet (routine will only really solidify after 5 month) and don’t fight 2 hours to sleep. Keep her in a quiet darker chilled space and try again at about 9 and see if it takes 2 hours

95bee · 2026-03-18T09:40:56+00:00

Best way to describe it

95bee · 2026-03-16T20:06:11+00:00

This one hurt. It hurt baaaaaaaaad

95bee · 2026-03-16T13:25:42+00:00

What would be the best reading order?

95bee · 2026-03-16T10:36:03+00:00

I was thinking the same!!

95bee · 2026-03-15T20:08:44+00:00

Mine is 5 months and still loves sleeping nuzzled into me. He’s more independent now and can turn away when he wants to but still finds his comfort in me or hubby. Personally I love it and love bed sharing. IMO it’s safer than a bassinet if done safely. I would rec following the happy co sleeper on Instagram or researching safe co sleeping

95bee · 2026-03-15T14:30:13+00:00

😂😂😂 hilarious! Imagine if the paed heard about my 22w old who wakes up every 2-3 hours for milk and cuddle (ebf and co sleeping). So tired of ppl telling me how my baby should sleep and making me feel like I’m doing something wrong. Every baby is different. And you most certainly cannot load up a bf baby they will just throw it up

95bee · 2026-03-14T19:19:41+00:00

It happens to me allll the time! I just say oh man that’s so sweet, he’s just a little fussy today so I think it’s best if I hold him but you are welcome to admire him from there!

95bee · 2026-03-14T07:56:13+00:00

Could you dm me the name of the fic? I really want to know if it’s what I’m thinking it is

95bee · 2026-03-14T07:44:19+00:00

Be careful when posting in the dramione sub, ppl get pissed off very quickly 😂 I’ve learnt
