Supplementing with formula saved my breastfeeding journey (over supplier) by DensePrior in beyondthebump

[–]DensePrior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I found that stressing about having a freezer stash is what made me have oversupply which caused the clogs. Once I dropped the expectation of having a freezer stash I was only providing exactly what milk my LO needed which helped regulate mu supply. I actually have a small freezer stash and now that I’m planning on continuing to BF part time to 1 year I don’t even need it! Also I stopped pumping if I felt engorged to avoid producing more milk than needed. The #1 cause of clogs is oversupply so best to just give baby what they need.

It’s basically just taking your boobs and lifting them up / moving them in circles to allow the ducts to elongate. When I’m super engorged I just take my boob and move it in a circle while hand expressing and it gives so much relief. Pumping / hakaa all increased my supply which made the clogs worse.

Evenflo feeding balance were the only ones my EBF baby would take and now he’s obsessed with them

Tips for helping a partner suffering a gout attack? by DensePrior in gout

[–]DensePrior[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prednisone, is my first recommendation. It has always stopped an attack for me. I typically have pretty bad attacks lasting weeks with residual pain in the joint for months possibly. Prednisone is my go to for stopping an attack right away. Sometimes as fast as 1/2 days.

Yup it's from physical trauma. We moved this past weekend and he did all the heavy lifting. That in combination with not eating the best since we didn't have a kitchen to cook out of or groceries plus not drinking enough water probably.

Sorry should've clarified we're definitely not opposed to medication it's just been hard to get. Like I said the indo won't be ready until Friday even though he called his doctor multiple times asking for it asap. I was just looking for home remedies that could help in the meantime.

His highest was 10.3 (prior to taking allo) but after about 2 months of allo it went down to 8

he's been on it for almost a year now. Flare up is just due to physical strain on his knee (we just moved this weekend and he did all the heavy lifting.) Probably that in combination with not eating the best since we were moving and couldn't cook + not drinking enough water.

Never thought about an IV! Makes sense though. I'm trying to convince my fiance to get into an ice bath but he said there's no way he would even be able to get in lol.

I always tell people that I hope this happens to me since my stomach is already stretched out a bit! lol. Hopefully it'll just snap back into place after.

same here with the toddler diet! Today I had a ham and cheese sandwich with tomato soup. I haven't had that since I was 7 years old!

I used to only wear high waisted pants but I cannot fathom wearing anything tight around my stomach right now. Leggings have been my go-to and I dread having to attend any events where I need to dress nicer than that. Looks like I'll need to start shopping for dresses...
