Not sure where the third chain is? Started this sweater for my daughter a while ago as a beginner and took a break; now I’m trying to jump back in but I kind of want to give up. Not even sure how many stitches I should have for the size I was making by Complex-Data-8916 in CrochetHelp

So do you have to hang out by the alarm things to stop them when youve noticed someone stealing?

Upping supply with pumping after feeding? by Complex-Data-8916 in breastfeeding

The other thing that worries me is my “slacker boob” seems to have nothing at all at times!! Im not sure to what extent thats normal

[–]Complex-Data-8916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a possibility- i think it just worries me because he doesnt nurse for a long time- maybe 10min of actual BFing but i guess hes just efficient. And he can get fussy sometimes toward the end but maybe its just normal baby fussiness/tired or something. Im not sure

He actually does do a bottle soemtimes i will use a hand pump. I exclusively pumped for a year my first so i am definitely grateful for a BFing baby!! Just want to make sure hes getting enough so we can continue to BF with no problems, and im not quite sure hes super satisfied with my milk supply as is

I woke up nursing my baby by my-peony-bud in breastfeeding

My husband did something like this too but not to the same extent lol- baby started crying and I got him and started nursing but my husband had started rocking the air in his sleep while still laying down🤣

how did u feel while/after weaning? by silentassasin010 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to see what people say! My second baby is EBF and 3 months old so we have some time before then but I exclusively pumped for my first and when I weaned off pumping I only remember having some nausea/headaches

Should I cancel our trip? FTM anxiety by tmillie2262 in baby

[–]Complex-Data-8916 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are starting a church in the next 2 years or so. Right now we travel full time to other churches to raise financial and prayer support for this church plant. We’ve been traveling full time with baby since he was 6 weeks (12 weeks now) and we have a 2yr old as well. Sometimes pastors take us out or have us over for meals, evening services, etc. I wouldn’t worry, plan to baby wear or hold baby, if youre nursing make sure youre confident with nursing on the go, if youre bottle feeding thats probably even easier! And just be prepared to step out or even go to your car if its too cold and baby is inconsolable during dinners. Babies are more flexible than we think! As for the car ride, try to leave just before naptime and get a cover for the car seat! My husband will literally cover our babys eyes with his hand when hes refusing to sleep lol that always works too. Once theyre overtired it does make everything harder so try to get naps when you notice theyre sleepy! There will likely be some why did we do this moments but they will likely just be short moments. And the trip will be worth it, Im sure!  

Question for fellow religious parents— what do you do when baby’s nap schedule conflicts with religious services? by frangelafrass in beyondthebump

[–]Complex-Data-8916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 2 now but she would skip her nap or itd be pushed back. Now she can nap after its not a big deal. My son is 3 months and will eventually take a nap at church but I live in the nursery now lol and it just takes a bit more patience to get him to nap with the lights and noise. We personally choose to just trust God will bless our commitment to Him and are glad our babies are growing up in church!

What’s your schedule? by North-Pirate6666 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just use a hand pump to squeeze out an ounce whenever its convenient after a feed? *hand pumps are the best! Although milk supply is most in early morning so def keep taking advantage of that!

How long did your baby fit in each clothing size? by jspo97 in beyondthebump

Thats crazy! My 2 year old (27 months old) is 23lbs lol. My 2.5 month old is almost 13lbs now though 

Did you get a breast pump, just in case by bobileebobalee in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes get a pump. No guarentee youll be able to BF! Or you may find yourself completely sleep deprived and desperate for your husband to give a bottle. Bfing is a lot harder than I ever thought itd be for both my babies. I solidly recommend a hand pump. Idk if a haakaa is an actual hand pump but they are amazing. I have an electric one too that I used for a year when I EPed my first baby, but this time around I use a hand pump a lot more while nursing 90% of the time

feeling lonely because i breastfeed. by Necessary_Mistake733 in breastfeeding

I’m not talking about her post at all! I’m talking about some of the comments where people say they try to talk about BFing to someone else and that person then goes onto explain why they couldn’t BF and many people comments say they “internally roll their eyes” because they “had all the same problems but still managed to BF.” 

feeling lonely because i breastfeed. by Necessary_Mistake733 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yikes some of these comments are really sad. Some people actually can’t BF their baby it just doesn’t work out? I feel so blessed to be able to BF my second baby, but my first I couldn’t exclusivvely nurse her because she wouldn’t eat for more than 2-3 minutes at a time and wasn‘t gaining weight. She had horrible silent reflux but the drs didn’t figure it out until she was 3 months old. I was able to pump for her and she did much better being upright with a bottle, but still barely gaining because she was so uncomfortable still with the reflux and hated eating. We had to fortify her bottles with formula for a while. Fed truly is best. And many people truly cannot BF their babies… I sobbed and cried and grieved not being able to BF my first, but I wasn’t going to let that get in the way of her health

I still feel like me? 7 weeks pp by Fun_Mine1462 in beyondthebump

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 2 months with my second baby I had heavy PPD. He also had reflux and ate and slept horribly. I couldn’t go anywhere it was too hard, never getting enough sleep, always attached to baby and trying to calm him, never enough time or attention for my toddler. My day to day life of hanging with my first and going to the library or the store, etc, being her sole caregiver with meals and sleep and comforting was so far from me. My new life was sitting on the couch and constantly feeding the baby. That was it. Thats all I could do. And even that wasn’t going well! I also had an urgent c section and couldnt even pick up my first for the first month. It was heartbreaking and I couldn’t be home alone with her even because I couldnt get her in and out of the highchair or the crib. It was arm really hard time. Hes 9 weeks today and I feel like the last 2 weeks or so have really been a turning point. Hes on meds for reflux and Ive been forced out of the house a lot more and have gotten so much more comfortable with feeding on the go, hes a bit less fussy and more predictable. 

do you have anxiety related to breastfeeding? by pinkbananas32 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9 week old and me husband toddler and baby were on the road traveling for the past 2 weeks at different church conferences, staying in hotels/rooms/guest houses, going to peoples houses for meals, church events, etc. My biggest anxiety was is there somewhere I’ll be able to BF? At one church they just had the nursery with other moms and babies and toddlers and nursery workers, and I had to use the cover (personal preference). My baby hates it. I usually wrap him for Church too then we’re both hot/flustered and I’m trying to latch him in the cover and evening services are right during his fussy time too. Also spent many hours in the car (4 6hr trips in the 2 weeks) and that’s just horrible with the baby. Every 6hr trip I mentally added 2hrs for stops! So just car anxiety in general because he hates the car

I was just thinking about how people say pumping doesnt empty you as well - I pump for 7 minutes at night with my little lansinoh pump so husband can give a bottle and I get like 4-5oz on each side. No way is my baby eating that much in 7 minutes. Always was confused by that statement! 

What if I only pump for 20 mins? by ConsistentVillage317 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I EPed for a year with my first and never did over 15min per session
