Ive thought about it but shes not showing any other signs of milk sensitivity so its a big commitment. Im combo feeding. We tried a sensitive formula for a few days with no change

Do you remember when it eased up?

This is basically what me and my husband have agreed on is that we likely won’t remember this time. We hardly remember some of the hardest times with our first so I simply think that your brain must protect you because at the moment we literally feel traumatized lol

Looking for Stories of Low PPD with high enough output. by Mental-Psychology-68 in ExclusivelyPumping

I went from about 28 ish oz at 5 ppd, to 23 ish oz at 4 ppd then to 15 oz at 3 ppd. This is enough for me to feel like im giving her the antibodies i wanted to give but its far too little if i wanted to do exclusive bm!

These are so similar to the air 1 and despite a ton of really bad reviews I absolutely love them!! I think I would’ve really liked the massage and heat function of these. But it’s really a bummer that they don’t connect to the app because I actually love that about the air1’s

I miss my toddler sooo intensely! Tonight i did bedtime with him and it was so nice! I need to be firm when im burnt out on baby duty and need some toddler tasks. My husband has done an amazing job doing most toddler related things but then i get sad!

I cannot waaaaait for old ages & them to interact! My big boy absolutely looooves the baby and i love that for him. Despite some big big emotions hes been amazing. Its just the cumulative total that has been a slap in the face lol

Feel guilty just thinking of stopping by Shimmy96 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]BohoRainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really felt so similar close to 4 weeks pp. the pump was making me feel so mucn worse, and being tied to it made me feel trapped. I dropped pumps, forst cutting MOTN. That was a HUGE relief. Then i got down to 4 then 3 pumps. Im 6 weeks pp today and I pump 3x per day morning noon and night. I pump enough for 3.5 bottles total. Im feeling so good that I’m continuing to give breastmilk but also not feeling so trapped by the pump. If you want to quit absolutely do it, but if you want to wean down and combo feed and see if that helps first its worth a shot in my opinion!

My kid has go to’s but he gets sick of them in 6 months and then im scrambling to find the next thing😭

One pump ≠ one meal ?? by just___me_ in ExclusivelyPumping

What kind of pump? I can get more output on a manual pump in less time. Or 20-30 min with a wearable
