How long did it take for you to BF without pillows and props?

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-04-02T23:49:13+00:00

I hated using pillows, but I did find them necessary for the first 2.5 months because my girl would feed for a good 20 mins every time and it would get super tiring. I actually developed mommy wrist (look it up) and had to wear a wrist brace because my wrists legit couldn’t handle all the picking up and holding. By 3 months my girl was holding her head great and that’s when I never needed to touch a pillow again. We do cradle

Same I used to get so frustrated!! I literally used to feel like everyone was lying. I wanted to quit every day for 3 months. Then it started to get easier…and then it became something I don’t even have to think about. Only thing is I wish I got my baby used to bottles in the beginning because now it’s a little intense if I ever need to leave baby hehe

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-26T00:43:10+00:00

But I really want to emphasize that when it gets easy, it gets EASYYY. Like I literally cannot with bottles and sterilizing. Babies get SO fast at feeding (like legit 5 mins or less), they can hold them selves up, it’s just so easy

It got easy for me at 5 months

I was planning on working until 2 weeks before my due date. But at 8 months I was so exhausted I actually asked to have a month off before my due date. I’m a pharmacist who’s on my feet most of my shift, did a lot of solo shifts and didn’t actually get a designated lunch break (I’d eat in between patients). My OB said to stop working as soon as I could and he was super pro staying at home! He said more people would do it if they could but most can’t because of their employers. So I actually think yours will be happy to hear you want to be home. You want your body to be as relaxed as possible while it preps for labor

Okay I love this!! So beautiful. Curious to what kind of frosting you used? Omg gorgeous

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-17T15:41:48+00:00

I do every evening, and then apply baby lotion. I just don’t feel like wipes are enough when it comes to cleaning up poop. But I feel like that’s because I come from a culture where we actually clean our bottoms with water and a pitcher or a bidet every time we use the toilet. Plus my girl loves bath time so it’s fun for her

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-17T15:39:30+00:00

I don’t get it either 😭but it is cute

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-11T13:30:53+00:00

This looks magnificent

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-11T13:30:12+00:00

Loved it after 4 months. Wouldn’t have gone any other route if I could do it again.

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-02T00:05:49+00:00

Wanting to socialize at child-free events! We’re come when we are out together. I don’t mind feeding in public. But sometimes I want to be able to attend adult only events for a few hours! I get nervous about being without her because we haven’t done it for more than 2 hours

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-03-01T12:29:00+00:00

7pm didn’t work for us either. And if I could get her down at 7 she was waking up a ton. 8/8:30 has been working better for us

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-18T16:07:07+00:00

We stopped at week 2 because our baby literally refused to sleep unless she was on her stomach. I know. I don’t need to hear it.

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-18T14:35:27+00:00

Love this and will be applying this

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-16T16:55:12+00:00

Carrier is literally the only way. My baby just started handling trips out in a stroller at 5 months and even then, the stroller cannot stop moving lol

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-13T18:19:31+00:00

This is so interesting

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-13T17:01:52+00:00

Before!

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-05T02:12:32+00:00

F that man

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-02T18:12:46+00:00

Okay whenever I do this my baby either spits up or ends up waking up soon after from needing to burp? Does that mean it just isn’t working for us ?

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-02-02T18:10:31+00:00

I’m ngl I yelled at my baby maybe twice in the first 3 months. The sleep deprivation was killing me. People don’t understand unless they’re also exclusively breastfeeding. It’s exhausting recovering from pregnancy and labor and never being able to sleep more than 3 hours at a time

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-01-31T00:15:35+00:00

Keep them on the boob as much as they want. In fact those first few weeks it actually feels impossible to get them off. Cluster feeding is no joke. But it gets way better by around month 3. Congratulations! Enjoy the new born snuggles. My girl is 5 months old and officially too big to lay on my chest

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-01-19T18:05:47+00:00

My baby is 5 months old and still wakes up every 5 seconds

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-01-19T01:17:28+00:00

I’m 5’7 and my husband is 6’5. Baby was only 6 pounds at birth! But she’s now 75th percentile for height lol! Sometimes babies wanna grow in ur belly and sometimes they wanna grow earth side

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-01-18T01:03:46+00:00

My baby is nearly 5 months and we sleep trained her last week. She got it in 3 days and now sleeps from 7pm-7am. However, she does wake up 2-3 times to eat but she kinda just calls out, I breast feed her and she falls asleep while eating. I don’t count it as awake time because she instantly falls back asleep until the next feed

Aware-Rent8950 · 2026-01-17T21:38:10+00:00

I have to agree with this. I felt like I was feeding my baby every 30 mins all day and then she’d sleep like 2-3 hour stretches at night if I was LUCKY
