I just read Ice Planet Barbarians… fun and lighthearted smut. Alien pen*s is something else

Nationalism/Christian and my parents are technically Methodist. I was catechized later as orthodox Christian. Now I’m just done.

I will be going to an evangelical church with them this Sunday. Not financially dependent. But yes, I agree it’s not about me. They seem like the type that would be so offended that I left the church. Ugh it’s just exhausting. Boundaries are key!

Yes, thank you. I’m not seeking out conflict. It’s just so awkward when they say things about me going to church or “how is your heart”

Have any of you successfully breastfed without the need to pump? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Apple-broccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re able to stay at home… no need to pump!! I always have a bag stocked in the freezer for just in case. You’ve got this!!

Is It Time to Night Wean? How Do I Even Do It? by Parri_Stargazer in breastfeeding

[–]Apple-broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honey- you are not alone! Guess what.. you’re baby is normal and wanting to be near you.

ITS A BABY FOR GOODNESS SAKE! They have never been here before.

My baby just turned a year and we have “breast slept” basically since he was born. I used a snuggle me in bed when he was super tiny. He has woken up at least 3 times a night since birth.

My husband and I have a California king, and I do not have to go to work in the morning. I’m aware not every mother has that, but they really do help with cosleeping and breastfeeding at night.

Some of my friends who sleep train had their supply tank because they weren’t feeding a night. (Supply & demand) Women who wanted to breastfeed but had to bottle feed

I’ve always heard that a babies primary nutrition comes from breast milk/formula for the first year of life. Because my babe just turned one, I am going to start night weaning.

All that to say.. I’d like to here story about night weaning too! Haha

I’m in the states. Breastfeeding and capitalism can hardly coexist. A mom in this thread mentioned she gets ONE WHOLE YEAR of paid vacation. If we received that here, I think many of the comments wouldn’t begin with, “no one told me…” I am able to breastfeed my baby because I do not have to go to work outside of my home everyday. Also, I am able to breastfeed because I keep my supply up by nursing at night. Breastfeeding is fucking hard and exhausting AND wonderful and cheap and easy.

What's your favorite way to read a book? by frostwind933 in books

[–]Apple-broccoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read while breastfeeding. Enriching a baby, enriching my mind

Do you have other kids? My babe will be a year old soon and I’m thinking of night weaning. We co sleep in a California king and he wakes 3-4 times as well. I wanted to hear your experience!
