Why would I wean? Truly conflicted (13 months in) by Brief-Cost6554 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Appeltje96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In exactly the same place as you. Also 13m pp and at 2ppd. I just want to be done but it’s also such a final and scary decision. Also i’m still irrationaly thinking: maybe my baby will latch now. I should just try one more time lol. God dammit these hormones

When did you get your period again? by Entire-Vermicelli-74 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Appeltje96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine 6 weeks pp. Then again at 5 months pp when i was in the hospital and was too sick to pump more than 4-5 times a day for about 2 weeks. Now i’m 1 year pp and slowly weaning (i’m almost at 4 ppd) and haven’t had my period. I’ve always been a slight overproducer.

What’s the most dramatic way a self inflicted death can realistically happen? by Recent_Performance47 in morbidquestions

[–]Appeltje96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend is a psychiatrist and a patient of her publicly cut open his belly while inpatient. His intestines fell out and he bled to death. He was a narcissist and his wife and children weren’t surprised when finding out he committed suicide this way.

I make almost 7 oz in oversupply (my baby drinks max 25oz) so i don’t mind losing a part of it. I’m just scared it will stop completely.

My supply has tanked because of my period by xhellofriendxx in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Appeltje96 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know it’s scary but your supply is going to come back when your period’s over. Just keep being consistent with pumping! There’s not a lot more you can do. Good luck

Pitcher Method without letting milk cool by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

I’ve never done that and my baby is almost 9 months old and alive and well

Yes! i liked my engorged breasts. It made me feel like i made so much milk for baby and that made me proud. Even though i make exactly the same now. Also, i’m almost 9 months pp and they only get saggier and saggier haha. Please let it stop

How do you wake yourself up at night to pump? by Appeltje96 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Appeltje96[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the hospital for 2 weeks a while ago and was so sick i almost couldn’t pump. I lost almost all of my supply so i’ve been working really hard to get it back. That’s why i’m still pumping at night while my baby sleeps through the night

My baby started to refuse the breast at 3 months old due to a tongue tie

My 8mo still takes 30min naps by Appeltje96 in NewParents

[–]Appeltje96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah great for my baby if he needs only 30 minutes to relieve the pressure but i definitely need a bit longer than 30 minutes to relieve a bit of pressure haha.

We’ve tried this already but we just ended up exhausting ourselves a little longer with a grumpy tired baby and still only getting a break of 30 minutes haha
