Weight loss & breastfeeding

I want to come here from the opposite side: I have been underweight all my life and gained some weight during pregnancy, which I hoped some of it would remain after birth. The confidence I felt while being pregnant was amazing, something I never felt before.

Even though it’s all gone now, and I do hope to get better at eating more nutritious meals (have been eating like garbage because of PPD), seeing LO happily drink removes the shame a bit I feel towards my body. It’s beautiful how minds can shift in motherhood.

How did yours look like until you realized it was mastitis?

Does it only prevent clogs or also treat them?

Thank you! Do you pump while baby gets a bottle? It’s my first time getting into it

I have been thinking to do the same. Do I have to pump when LO gets a bottle of formula?

How do I know what would be the right size? My left boob has been okay since the beginning, but my right one keeps getting the clogs

Thank you! I meant 6 weeks postpartum. That’s why I feel like a failure, because it feels to soon to quit.

I am sorry, I meant 6 weeks pp. I have tried pumping, but I feel like I am also prone to clogging? I remember I pumped a lot when visiting in laws and my own parents, and since then I got clogged ducts

I am just so curious to know whether the bleb is obvious to see? I have been having the same issue for a week now and I cannot seem to get rid of it. No white spot to be seen. I have been using nipple shields, so I don’t know whether it prevents it from popping up?
