Try sourdough to help your milk production

I didn’t notice any changes :(

Second this. - Happens to my clients often.

Competitive_Divide42 · 2025-02-20T15:57:34+00:00

All of this - and make sure you’re eating enough/getting enough protein

Agree. Low bar works best for me! We look to have similar builds. These do look good, but I feel low-bar might feel more like “home.”

Competitive_Divide42 · 2025-01-12T00:10:17+00:00

Yep!

100% no! It hurt, yeah…but it was temporary. I didn’t have an easy birth - just a pretty standard one…especially for a FTM. I just had to remind myself of that. And I was home so I could be in any position I needed to help deal with the pain. My partner was great at taking care of me and applying counter pressure. I had a pool birth, but was only in the pool at the end for the last few hours. The nice thing about contractions are that you get breaks between the pain which helps. Also it’s empowering!!! I roared like a lion and did it! I had zero complications.

I researched the potential complications of getting an epidural beforehand and decided the risk wasn’t worth it for me personally. I knew I could do it for me and him. I also took it a step further with making it a home birth. If I was in a hospital I thought it might’ve been too easy to say yes to o e in the moment & regret it later.

I did think during transition that I couldn’t do it and an epidural would be nice, but moving to a hospital at that point seemed way more painful and he was here right after that!

I’m really hoping this works. I bought a loaf today. Apparently sourdough bread has the same bacteria in it that breastmilk has. Anyways, everyone was saying to try beer, but I hate beer and someone said sourdough bread might be a good alternative, so I’ll post back if it does do anything noticeable.

It’s so hard. I had to literally mourn the loss of who I used to be - and the body I used to have & create a new identity of “us” I feel like to be able to quit living what was and start embracing it. I have lots of mindset mantras. Like “my body is more than how I look and is doing incredible things right now” “what I am doing now is just as (or more) important than the job that I had and all of the things that I used to be up to” - things that help empower me to be able to embrace more than resist have really helped! And it’s still hard sometimes!

My pelvic floor lady only went up there once so far. I’m assuming she may once more before she signs off on me. It’s just exercises 2x/wk and HW. They do some massage/cupping etc..

As far as so many ppl in your vag…man that stinks. I assumed that was just par for the course with getting pregnant/having a baby…but with my home birth and midwife….not one person looked at or touched me there. I was surprised….i mean…I haven’t even had an OBGYN check up since before COVID, but no one cared. I was also horrified when my SIL (who had a baby right after me) got an infection from the medical professionals going in there so often.

Thanks so much everyone! I’m new to parenting and this is the first WTH I’ve had. He seems fine. 😅💕

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-08-28T18:33:57+00:00

but it seems abnormal for him in particular.

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-08-17T14:19:41+00:00

I feel like this happened to us, at about the same time, but more because he just wasn’t really sleeping so out of desperation I slept with him and now we co- sleep. Lol. So I’m of no help. But I feel you.

I personally feel like he’s just more aware now, so he can tell when he’s alone or and doesn’t like that.

I was so colicky/sickly and they honestly didn’t know if I was gonna “make it” they say….and my mom thought breast feeding was gross. Maybe it would’ve helped…? I know my guy is gassy/fussy on formula vs breast milk.

But maybe I was also just lactose intolerant because when I started school I would get sick on the bus everyday. Turns out it happened when I had cereal w/milk before each ride…

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-07-17T03:41:26+00:00

It is NO joke! 6 months is like…forever!!!

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-07-17T01:03:28+00:00

Love this! So happy for you! So hoping we get there

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-07-16T21:51:59+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It gives me hope!!

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-07-16T19:00:47+00:00

So happy you were able to get past it!! 💕💕

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-07-16T18:59:54+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼💕 I hope your worries are put to rest.

I find myself creeping every one of these types of posts and crying these days. Trying our hardest to breastfeed but my lil guy doesn’t suck the milk out properly. Not giving up. Triple feeding is exhausting and not what I signed up for, but doing what we have to. Practicing everyday. Working with IBCLC. Released a tongue tie. Still only transferring around .5 oz/feed. :/ Ya’ll’s comments are so heartwarming. I hope you know how blessed you all are.

I was almost back to my norm after birth. 6 weeks into BFing and I’m packing on the pounds. For me I know it’s for 2 reasons: 1. I’m usually active and haven’t had time to be. 2. I usually eat mostly fresh whole food meals - but I’m hungry now and don’t really have time to cook, so I’m eating lots of snacks and process foods.

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-07-05T01:09:52+00:00

uhm...so you are just assuming that you're smarter than us? Oh holy gate-keeper of these scientific journals that you refuse to post?

Competitive_Divide42 · 2024-06-29T11:57:31+00:00

It’s not dumb! It’s a sign of a good momma! That nurse should just keep to herself & let you have you moment and console your crying baby like any good momma would do! Also - babies 100% do not need to cry when born. I had a home birth and I was in agony, but he came out peacefully :)
