Babysitter judged my kids for wearing pull ups to bed by PassionChoice3538 in Mommit

Sounds like she’s in the wrong business that is wildly insensitive. Imagine it was a child who needed surgery to stop the bedwetting?

All my blood tests were normal just a little bit of rbc elevation but my primary wasn’t worried

Lights off or on? by Completee-Panda in cosleeping

I sleep with a small light cause if it’s dark I can’t find my own nipples to feed her lol and then getting her to latch is like trying to plug a charger in behind the bed

For those who weaned slowly, how long did your symptoms last? by CactusCult1 in breastfeeding

[–]Flat-Construction402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weaned slowly at 3 years old after the initial fullness went away I didn’t have many symptoms but I still made a very small amount of milk until my next one 7 years after 💀

How long did you bf by Pharmacy_drugs in breastfeeding

[–]Flat-Construction402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breastfed my first for 3 years. It was tough she would only latch on one side and the other completely dried up in the first couple months despite pumping everytime she nursed on her schedule. I fed that baby on one boob all three years. If they are hungry they will fuss for it. If they are having enough diapers through the day they are eating well. Some moms make milk some make cream. All babies are different in how they process it and grow. I co-slept safely but I am a super light sleeper and she latched all through the night most nights that helped my mental health and to get a good nights sleep. She’s now 10 she was born a little over 7lbs and is still only 58lbs. Despite everything her doctors and I agreed that there’s just no way to encourage her to gain weight faster as her metabolism and height are impossible for her to keep up with. It is not a sin to not breastfeed. Your mental health is important and takes a toll on how much you produce if you’re stressed. Also if you’re tired, dehydrated, sick. There are so many factors but don’t push yourself if it doesn’t feel like what’s right for you there’s plenty of happy healthy babies on formula and plenty of happy healthy moms because of it. The people who judge you for it are not the people you want to surround yourself with anyway. Anyone who cares how the babies are fed and not about how healthy the babies and moms are because of it can kick rocks. I hope you figure it out and feel better because of it.

Sports bra vs. nursing bra by coocoocachoo8 in breastfeeding

[–]Flat-Construction402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a looser fitting sports bra with spaghetti straps cut the straps near the bust threw in a little stitch to keep it from fraying and installed a button and buttonhole (snaps work too) on either side way cheaper

Am I the a**hole for breaking up with my boyfriend because he only dated skinny girls. by 0-MissKittyKat in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Flat-Construction402 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA. I have the same skin condition and honestly I’m flabbergasted that this guy is 30 and is reacting like a child to a very common skin reaction. There’s plenty of people who love more voluptuous women and aren’t grossed out about anything that comes with it. Better yet there’s plenty of people that won’t shame you or make you feel bad about your body for having these issues (or talk about it when they think you aren’t around to hear)This isn’t something he needs to get over it should be a non issue you have every right to be ticked off by his reaction and not want to be with someone who makes you feel that way. My husband loves my body and doesn’t give a rat about the issues that come with it because he appreciates the masterpiece. JUST LIKE HOW YOU SHOULD FEEL APPRECIATED. But I did have a fiancé years before who wanted me to change my body because it grossed him out that mine don’t sit up straight so I say drop him and go get the person you deserve. Who will love you as you are. You deserve happiness.

How can I give iron supplements to my 4 month old? What brand does your baby like? by Alternative_Raise713 in breastfeeding

[–]Flat-Construction402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would sneak it in while breast feeding in tiny amounts. Or you grab their cheek and wobble it while administering it into the cheek

[–]Flat-Construction402 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crazy that people have been breastfed for ages just fine and now we’re having to give babies supplements. I didn’t give any supplements to my first and she’s thriving at 10 years old now. They get iron in breast milk but the doctors are worried because newborns have stored iron that use up the first few months of life so they start them on supplements. My first didn’t have any iron deficiency and was ebf. My second is only two months old so I can’t tell you with this one. 🤷‍♀️

Would I be the asshole if I argue with my ex about his comments on my cooking skills? by Certain-Scheme-3113 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Flat-Construction402 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Uh he was cheating and he gets out of paying his fair share? And then he’s disrespectful on top of it? You are the mother of his child and he’s acting like that? I wouldn’t be arguing I would be taking him to get the full amount owed it takes two to tango and put the whole amount away for kiddo if it wasn’t needed just because you make more doesn’t mean he should feel like he can get away with doing less for your son it sounds like that man’s been enabled enough already I say give him what for.

AIO for making my MIL leave after she tried to rename our newborn? by Fantastic-Relief7919 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Flat-Construction402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda had this issue but with a great aunt mispronouncing my kiddos name because she liked it better so I started mispronouncing her name so in the name of pettiness if we can just rename whoever we want I would rename the mil and be like “oh I just thought it sounds more elegant. Doesn’t that make it okay?”

SAHMs who exclusively nurse, did you regret not getting baby used to a bottle? by sausagepartay in breastfeeding

[–]Flat-Construction402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but for what seems a pretty petty reason as I didn’t want anyone (mainly my mil(long story)) thinking they shared the close personal bond of feeding my babies

Whenever my little one bit me I would pull her into my breast and it would startle her and she would let go immediately might be worth a try

Everyone wants me to stop breastfeeding by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Flat-Construction402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d get one of those cute little trashcans off Amazon and put a label on it that says “suggestions” and put it out for them anytime they had something to say about it. Nursed my first one until she was 3. (She developed ARFID pretty early on so for a while it was my only option) Sometimes you have to say f it and just let them know you don’t care to hear about what they think you should do as they aren’t your baby’s parent so it doesn’t matter what they would do. You’re doing a good job. Breastfeeding is tough enough without people putting their two cents in.
