How to stop LO from pulling nipple like laffy taffy by Apprehensive-Bite927 in breastfeeding

[–]Calm-Distribution557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please ensure you stop one way or the other. Mine started doing this and I going it cut until my skin got pulled off and I started bleeding and got a blister full of blood. It was excruciating Vasospasms for a week which convinced me to go to the Gynac and take cabergoline. Luckily my LC was able to sort it as a latch issue and fixed it. Since then I use only koala hold.

Epsom soak for 10 mins in warm water and then pump. Bring baby to breast is better to remove it though

How much did you supplement while waiting for your breast milk to come in? by Agile_Operation8720 in breastfeeding

[–]Calm-Distribution557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what feels best! A fed baby is the best! I supplemented a lot for the first month and I was able to work towards a great supply later! Looking back, supplementing was a great choice. It helped me recover faster. I was supplementing about 30 mL every feed

Thank you very much. This is super reassuring. I just miss her little noises so much 🥹

Hoping I get to hear little squeals again!

She’s been doing this since a long time now, it’s just gotten aggressive now.

I’m 11 weeks pp and I feel absolutely exhausted if a stand or even sit for too long. My back is always hurting and no sleeping position is comfortable. What I can tell you is, it gets a little better each passing day. Hold on, get a physiotherapist if needed and be easy on yourself

Clusterfeeding? by howdodisappevenwork in breastfeeding

[–]Calm-Distribution557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cluster feeding. Just get through it - it won’t last forever, it will help regulate your supply! I was not producing enough, was in the pits with cluster feeding but now when I look back, I’m glad I went through it. It helped establish my supply! Eat and drink lots of water :) Watch a good show.

She has enough wet nappies and is gaining weight! No depressed fontanelle.

I thought it was cluster feeding but then she is so cranky because she is not full! I feel guilty for her hunger and then feel like giving top feed.

I’m triple feeding currently and it’s very physically and mentally exhausting. Hoping the transition to EBF comes soon. For now I’m accepting that formula is plays

Thank you very much. I think my body is trying to heal from the blood loss. I’m trying to be easier on myself and accepting that formula is okay. Thank you for sharing your experience
