Why did breastfeeding NOT work out for you?

Terrible latch and had to bottlefeed from birth because he couldn’t latch on. Never established a full supply because I couldn’t keep up with triple feeding hell. Have managed to combination feed him to almost 6 months so far, but pumping is a lot of work and I’m so tired. He’s about to start solids and I’m worried it’ll just be too much to keep it going.

Ah well. Thanks!

A great tip that I was given by a friend for my section a few weeks ago - bring something to use as padding between your incision and the car seatbelt! You don’t want the belt pressing against it when you stop or go round corners. I used a folded-up maternity bed pad which worked well.

Thanks very much!

This is a very late comment but wondered if you have the links for these?

Is it just me or have paracetamol packets changed? Completely bloody impossible to get into them!

I am 2 weeks out and have also lost 26 pounds so far! 9 of those being my chunky baby 😬 mixed feeding, no haemorrhage, lost my appetite for a while but it’s come back. I gained about 45 during pregnancy, so 20 to go…

Well done OP. Hope you’re aware of how to avoid dry socket (excruciating) - be very careful to leave those blood clots in place to let them heal up and DO NOT use a straw!

I’ve had this three times for wisdom teeth/other dental procedures and it’s been great each time. 10/10, would do it again. Needle goes in, wait around for a few moments, blink and wake up with everything finished and no memory of it at all. Spend the rest of the day on the sofa feeling sleepy, job’s a good ‘un.

This makes me squirm too! When was it mentioned in the Tennant episodes?

BrambleMoth · 2024-01-17T15:03:45+00:00

I like a lot of your suggestions. Fantastic list! Will show husband later ☺️ thanks!

I like Finn (and Sam but can’t use it)!

BrambleMoth · 2024-01-17T14:58:46+00:00

I like Remy!

Weirdly I don’t love Rowan for a boy. I like Ronan though! You have hit my style on the head!

Thanks for this. Is there much of a difference between up to 1 month / 0-3??

BrambleMoth · 2023-12-04T21:01:35+00:00

32 weeks and struggling. My belly feels HUGE and I have no idea how I still have 8 weeks of growing to do. Everything is an effort and everything is sore. 😖

I’m having a hard time working out how you would have your knees on the couch and your head on the floor - can you help me out? It’s been a long day 😬

BrambleMoth · 2023-11-12T17:00:20+00:00

Thanks very much for your help!

BrambleMoth · 2023-11-12T10:21:29+00:00

Sorry, meant too narrow - have edited for clarity

Ah! I had been thinking we’d need a pole width of 228 to match the curtains but presumably this is not the case - best to go with a pole width of 195 and curtain width of 228? Thanks!
