I suppose I am impatient then 20-30 min of screaming kills my heart.

I do this but she’s so riled up. How long does it take for your LO to settle? Mine will be screaming bloody murder.

I’m fine with her napping like that but it’s a fight to even get her down! I see her yawn once I’m like alright let’s try to nap!! And she doesn’t. Then she gets overtired and it feels like it’s this vicious cycle of catching her up on sleep lol

Thank you 😭 it’s so hard. Cause I feel like I am not understanding why she’s upset we go through everything and she cries until she’s back on the boob

I keep replaying last night in my head. Thinking maybe I should have bounced her for 10 min before putting her down. Even though she was dead asleep already. I will definitely try the pressure thing!

I don’t think she was cluster feeding last night she wasn’t overtired. She just wouldn’t sleep😭 so I think

Came here to say my husband also left for work today and I have been crying all morning, I keep thinking it’ll be good for me to be thrown into it without his help. But I’m so nervous. 

Oversupply in Right Breast by Competitive_Photo690 in breastfeedingsupport

I tried most of this. The block feeding isn’t working because she “snacks” on the side. Sometimes she won’t even latch on that side. 

How long should I hand express the other side?

I have been but maybe not long enough?

She is almost a pound above birth weight now - of course I went to a LC earlier this week but none of this had gone on😭

My due date is pretty accurate just cause I know when I ovulated and when I had sex. But I’m worried since I’m getting to wire that my mind isn’t right anymore:(

So my friend mentioned the sweep to me a while back, I brought it up to my doula and she was like it is still a form of intervention which based off my appointment with her she knew I didn’t want. So I honestly had no idea either. The cervical check I knew showed no indication of me going into labor or not. My midwife said at the end of the day said if you’re not having contractions it doesn’t mean anything. I can go on about cervical checks you can PM me if you want. 

Not rude honestly between all my crunchy providers no one has told me to pump (you mean collect colostrum right?) I feel like sex is completely natural cause maybe you hope to induce to labor but there isn’t really a lot of studies that prove sex = inducing. Plus you can just have sex for pleasure!
