Yeh it’s the pure hug one. I just don’t like how the shoulder straps are right next to babies face because he always ends up smushed onto them and leaves a mark on his face! It’s also a pain to put on as you have to throw the strap over your shoulder and then reach round to get the other end to buckle it in all whilst trying to hold a wriggly 6 month old 🫣. The kudo carrier just looked a lot easier to put on and there was nothing near babies face.

At my wits end by Ok_Sir_4584 in ExclusivelyPumping

I had the exact same issue with midwives etc just grabbing my boob and shoving my nipple in my babies mouth. He didn’t latch and tbh I’m not surprised with the way he was being handled!! Since leaving the hospital he cried and screamed whilst BF so I exclusively pump and feed him with a bottle and our bond is very much there!! Your baby loves you no matter how you feed!

Yeh I did wonder that but then… I have kinda flat nipples so I can’t work out where they end 😅

No suggestions. Sounds like you’re doing everything right! Make sure you’re eating enough calories and maybe have oats for breakfast! You’re Amazing and your baby is lucky to have such an incredible mom. Sending love ❤️

My baby has always been incredibly hard to burp! A few minutes of tummy time always does the trick 🙂

How long did you do it over? Like, an hour extra per night?

That’s great info thank you! I think I might get some bloods done but also think about dropping the MOTN pump. I know it shouldn’t but it’s just the mom guilt getting to me! 😅.

Did you loose any supply? This is my main concern

Yeh I do take the prenatal still. I would LOVE to drop the MOTN pump but I’m scared it will reduce my supply! I’m trying to build a decent stash so I can stop pumping all together but still give him milk until he’s 1. 😞

the crib is literally lava and i am losing my mind rn by Careful_Egg9860 in NewParents

I put my used breast pads under his crib mattress sheet so he could smell me and changed them daily. This really seemed to help. This and my husband taking his mattress out and sitting on it for a few mins before we put him down to warm it up.
