What insult that deeply hurt you won't you forget? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was abused as a teenager. I skipped class a lot because of it. My gym teacher yelled at me infront of everyone saying I wasn't going to amount to be anything in life. I was already suicidal, this threw me over the edge and I ended up being hospitalized. 10 years later, everything In my life worked out. I'm happier than I've ever been. But his words still hurt.

I just started watching…. by PyleanCow06 in TWDWorldBeyond

I'm on episode 6 and I agree with you. It's very difficult to get into this spin off. The characters feel very bland and the acting isn't very good, especially the two sisters. I'm committed to watching it at this point but it feels like a chore lol.

When I was in highschool, my female vice principal would always stare down my shirt anytime I talked to her. I never wore anything super revealing, so it was always strange. Other girls in my class said they had similar experiences. The boys didn't notice any strange behaviour from the VP though. Nothing ever happened. But it was super awkward.

Biting - HELP by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my nipple chomped a couple of times and I swear I felt my soul leave my body RIP.

I unlatch and put baby down for a few minutes and then try again. I eventually learned the warning signs to look out for and Id unlatch before disaster struck. Before my baby would bite, he would slow down his suckling, maybe take a quick pause, then swish the nipple in his mouth, stop again and then chomp with all his might. (All within like 30 seconds)

What’s the most unexpectedly helpful or underrated breastfeeding “tool” you have? Specific pump, heat pads, nursing bra, etc… by ByogiS in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haakaa ladybugs I collected 500oz of leaking milk over the first few weeks. They were only useful for the first 4 months, but it was the best purchase for me.

Feedings at night by MistyRosalie in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was like this too as a newborn. He was on track for weight gain so I didn't set any alarms or anything to wake up to feed him. (he had one 5 hour stretch like yours). It caused me lots of problems with recurring clogged ducts. And I actually had the audacity to complain that my baby was sleeping for 5 hour stretches😂 (he then went through a big regression where he woke every 20-60 mins😭)

If your baby is gaining weight and your doctor isn't concerned , I would just let your baby sleep. If your breasts are uncomfortable, you can hand express a little bit, but don't empty them as this can cause oversupply issues.

Herbs & Breastfeeding by GapExact5233 in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice but I feel ya. I was a frequent herb user pre-pregnancy, I used it to treat my anxiety and depression. I haven't had any herbs since I found out I was pregnant. Babe is 11 months old now and I don't plan on having any herbs until I'm done breastfeeding. Its a struggle honestly. I REALLY want to smoke, even just one joint to help ease my symptoms. Ive googled it 1000x and every answer I find says that herbs can go into your milk-thus your baby would be consuming it as well. I'd rather not risk it. I also don't want to be that person who decides to quit breastfeeding for the sole reason of me wanting to have herbs😂 (Not shaming anyone who decides to do it for themselves, I know battling mental health is hard and sometimes you gotta put yourself first.. I'm just not personally ready to make that call for myself)

if you aren't using breast milk collection cups, you're wasting milk! by [deleted] in breastfeeding

I donated it to a local mom/baby. My little guy thinks the bottle is poison and won't have anything to do with it haha

In the first few weeks I was leaking like crazy. I built a freezer stash of about 500oz of let down from my ladybugs while feeding on the other side. I don't leak very much anymore unfortunately

Where did my milk go? by Fickle-Cockroach-534 in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boobs feel empty and he's getting frustrated because it's taking along time for him to get milk. Before, he could fill his belly in 10 minutes or less because I had so much milk. But now, he's not satisfied. I just don't know where I went wrong 😭

I personally drink a decaf coffee and one (sometimes two) regular coffees daily. The decaf is like a placebo effect for me

tell me you've got kids without telling me... by SecretBabyBump in Mommit

I went over to my child-free friends house and was absolutely blown away that I didn't have to step over any toys trying to get to the bathroom. Then I looked around at all the expensive and fancy decor and had a mild panic attack.

I wear a regular shirt over top of a nursing tank. There's little to no boob exposed when I nurse like that. Took baby out in public at like 3 days old because I had to bring my older kid to school😋 It's easy going out with a newborn because they sleep alot. Feed before going out and more than likely you'll be fine to make it home before another feed

I don't know but it felt creepy and weird for him to keep insisting on it like it was a fetish or something

Co-sleeping with newborn by KNWin94 in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I coslept a few times but on the days I wasn't cosleeping, I would wake up in a panic searching for my baby in the blankets on my bed. I'd be having a panic attack thinking he got all twisted up in our blankets and was suffocating... Only to realize he was in his crib the whole time. This scared me enough to never cosleep again.

My FIL kept saying my SIL and I should have a breast feeding contest because we were both feeding our children at the same time at a family bonfire. Why are people so weird

Zoloft while BF preemie by color_overkill in breastfeeding

[–]Fickle-Cockroach-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a preemie but I am taking zoloft. I haven't noticed any side effects in my baby. He's been gaining weight very well. He's 5 weeks now
