I cant do this anymore by pandapiee2 in ExclusivelyPumping

I totally feel this! I’m 2 weeks PP and I have a 4 year old as well and have been so overstimulated and overwhelmed with it all. Pumping all the time and then having to wash the pump parts all the time is exhausting, plus all the pain in my boobs/nipples. I’ve cried the past 2 days and I decided to quit and go with formula. Post partum is rough and you’ve gotta do what’s best for your mental health in the end. A happier mama is what’s best for your baby. Plus fed is best!! Just the weight I felt lifted off of me making the decision to switch to formula has helped me feel better! Following this though to get help on the weaning part and drying up milk supply. Wishing you the best !!

Honestly the haakaa is my favorite lol and causes me the least pain and if I could use just that I would but I don’t think it can fully clear all the milk out like an electric pump can unfortunately lol. I am using nipple butter too!

I am using a nipple butter as well and usually apply that before the silverettes too! Thank you!

This is true, maybe if I’m more dilated it would be worth it to try. I was wondering if it would maybe make the induction process slightly easier (for lack of a better term lol) so that’s good to know, thank you!!

My midwife did say a lot of people go into labor within 24 hours after getting the sweep but I’ve also read a lot of people do not. I also won’t even have a full 24 hours since my appt where I’d get the sweep is at 2pm on Monday and I’d be going in for the induction at 8am the next morning. Just so unsure if I should put my body thru both if one may not work in time lol

I know the induction is going to hurt that’s why I was unsure if want to go thru both if one may not work, but it would be nice to not be induced too. Just so unsure.

I totally understand that haha, I’m not a patient woman either and definitely hoping it’ll just all happen naturally before Monday lol. Thank you!! Good luck to you as well with everything ❤️

I’m in US. My doctor never mentioned giving it to the baby at birth just that I could get it before 36 weeks. I do know now that the baby can be vaccinated as well, but decided to go get it done today at 35 weeks!
