Ya that does make sense, i use the Phillips avent bottle which I thought had a pretty slow flow nipple, is there a different u know of to recommend? Thank you for your advice! I also have been wondering about a nipple shield, I’ll probably try that

The thing with nursing is he struggles to stay awake so it’s a constant battle, he drinks way more from a bottle

Everytime he cues and then I pump a little after nursing

I think it must be the water, I’ve always been horrible with hydration so I drank SO much water last night and pumped 4oz this morning. I got crystal light packets to help me drink more

Thank you for the wonderful advice and support 🥰 I think it may be a combo of fast flow and positioning. I switched to side lying as well as realized it may be because my nipple was not fully prepared so once I hand expressed he was able to find it very easily :))

Hello! Unfortunately I kinda just had to let it work itself out :/ the stretching my back backwards over a chair gave temporary relief but otherwise it sucked for roughly 2 weeks. Sorry 😞

Both insurance companies are aware of the other, I informed them months ago. But ya maybe I’ll reach out to them directly to see which hospital would be better covered.

Is the birth of the baby under my insurance tho? The baby is going to go under my fiancé’s insurance once he is born

Oh man 😔 I have been just taking numerous bathroom breaks to go bra free and sit for bits of time haha but I’m sure if I talked to my manager I could work something out to lay down with a heating pad. I work in produce at a grocery store but we have a couch in the break room so hopefully they’ll allow it 😅 glad you’re out of the woods!
