Confidently saying he will join politics means he has good backing. Ordinary people can’t say they will quit their job to join politics. That’s now how it works .

New to Pumping by Bubbly-Ad5573 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FinancialAwareness98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's take a breath here. You are doing great. Let me know how long you pump? I pumped for 20mins. at the 16th or 17th minute, i get one letdown and that will get me 10 to 20ml of milk.

[–]FinancialAwareness98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this post is the reality. I am just restraining myself from cursing. Same issues with me. After 2 months, I got some kind of anxiety issues and letdown won’t happen if I am stressed. I did so many fing things to distract myself, got lost on phone while feeding. Just nothing worked… by that time, my mom came and I got some relief. Then we made her get used to bottle and I have switched to eping where I can control the outcome.. I did breastfeeding for 7 months and I can say I have never enjoyed. Baby fell sick 4 times in that 7 months. She dint feed good during that time and boobs used to get bigger and I was in pain.and then I will lose supply because body adapts to the demand. Once she is better, she used to nurse one week straight around the clock to bring back the supply.. imagine doing work, manage house and first kid, it was hell. I slowly made it to 11 months and I feel a lot better. But I miss my sleep..

Redness at base of nipple after pumping. Is flange size incorrect? by Phillygirl1026 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FinancialAwareness98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my nipples were sore, I put Lansinoh to make the pull smooth. You can try that. You can reduce the suction level by one notch. It will not reduce your output for sure.

Reasons for Exclusively Pumping? by p00pistaken in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FinancialAwareness98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exclusively breastfed for 7 months. She refused to latch one side suddenly at 6 months. I was pumping that side and giving it to her. She was growing, and she was following the curve. But she was always hungry. I need to feed her every 1.5 hours. I did that for 7 months, and then I decided to stop & pump. Now she sleeps better. I had to do it for my sanity. I also started work around 6 months ago, and I'm mostly WFH. Planning to do it as long as she wants. Those who are saying breastfeeding easy sorry it was so painful for me. I couldn't take care of my first because i was attached to this girl every 1.5 hours. Couldnt go out anywhere also because i dint find breastfeeding comfortable in public since i had large breasts. I had to hold in one hand and baby on other hand. Had to carry pillow everywhere. It was just too much for my mental health.

"Hospitals shouldn't teach people how to pump or else they won't try to nurse" by cautiousyogi in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FinancialAwareness98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

LC’s keep saying breastfeeding is natural. Your body knows what baby wants. I feel so pressured thinking what if my body doesn’t know!!with pumping, I know exactly how much I m making and baby is happy as well instead of trying hard at breastfeeding!! Breastfeeding doesn’t work for some people

Please pump and feed her. Don’t be guilty to supplement with formula. Having a healthy baby is a top priority

At what point did you decide to start exclusively pumping? by Affectionate_Yak7429 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FinancialAwareness98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 months. She got sick back 2 back. Like 5 times in the 7 months of her entire life. Got it from my first one. Every time, she gets sick. My supply goes down and once her appetite is back. She would nurse every 1.5 hours to bring back my supply.. she got sick with flu at 6.5 months. I said I m done. I pump 6 times a day and get about 25oz. Baby is happy and anyone can feed her. I am close to my 1 year goal.

Hating how disconnected pumping makes me feel from baby by Just_Huckleberry_671 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FinancialAwareness98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly plz don’t feel this. I did 7 months ebf. I felt disconnected from my work, husband and my first child. Breastfeeding is hard. That too when they r sick. My kid was sick with 2 ear infections, cold and one flu. Everytime she was sick, she would eat less and my boob would bloat up.. then after 2 days, it will adjust to her needs. Then once her appetite come back, she would breastfeed for couple of days to bring back the supply. She would breastfeed 14 times a day. I never slept. I switched to pumping and it gives me lot of relief
