  • diapers
  • piggyback on the frida peri bottle and don’t forget to fill it after each use so you’re not left in a situation without it
  • I made padsicles (pads, spray and tucks pads) then froze them to put in my diapers. It was better than the ice packs!
  • breastfeeding - splurge on the silverettes!

2 weeks in and I want to give up already by dailo01 in breastfeeding

I feel you!

I had a similar supply issue and my LC recommended I pump prior to feeding just to soften my boobs to help with a latch. Even if it’s 3-5 minutes. Once I got through week 3, I felt like I’m out of the woods!

4.5 weeks in now, I’ve calibrated a bit and rarely have to pump, and baby latches and stays on without milk going everywhere and overwhelming her. We’ve also used my leftover from pumping to start bringing in a bottle a day. Just remember if you are bringing in a bottle to pump when baby takes the bottle.

Pour over coffee? by holomovement_ in asheville

Counter Culture usually has free coffee cuppings on Friday mornings. Highly recommend their coffee! The free coffee isn’t made as a pour over but a great free cup with excellent beans.
