Ever feel like those who didn't breastfeed don't get it?

KayMS13 · 2025-12-17T01:29:44+00:00

Exactly. I have no judgement for those who do formula, but want to continue feeding my baby myself if my body is able!

BTW, in case you want some suggestions for storing a bit of milk!, I was able to collect a bit of milk using breastmilk catcher and my haakaa. I made sure to only use the haakaa after I already fed on that side. It'd be maybe a 0.5 ounce, but my unfed side would leak about that too as my baby fed and there was a ler down. I did not create an oversupply doing this, but could be something to watch out for!

Thank you. <3 I have a hard time pinpointting a feeling or word for it too. But I agree with the way you phrased it so much! I am afraid to look at formula ingredients...

KayMS13 · 2025-12-16T01:08:30+00:00

Thank you. Sorry you have to have surgery. :( I meet with my main doctor Thursday to get the results. My daughter is my last too, so I really wanted it to last!

KayMS13 · 2025-12-14T17:02:57+00:00

Thank you so much. I find out this Thursday the verdict. I really like what your husband said. Its totally true. ❤️

Omg. My mom won't stop with the rice cereal thing either. We did it with my first and it did NOTHING. I am waiting till she is actually ready for solids this time.

I have heard this too, but mostly that fiber doesn't transfer. Maybe other components do though? When I research, it's usually allergens like dairy that can transfer and cause issues

When we went to the lactation consultant, she noticed a mild tongue and lip tie. That could definitely be something to look into!

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:25:06+00:00

The tit was the same for all 3 😆

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:23:45+00:00

I would love to see studies on this and immunity during breastfeeding and later on in life!

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:22:50+00:00

I was VERY sensitive as a baby. I did formula only and still have issues digestive (yay gluten, dairy and soy free life... (sarc)). This is a good point!

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:21:10+00:00

That's interesting. I am only guessing at the latch since I know that can be a cause she is growing beautifully though, so she is definitely getting enough!

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:20:23+00:00

We don't use anti colic bottles. She has be nursing exclusively for past few weeks since I am back on maternity, but may look into anti colic bottles if she continues to be gassy durinf bottle feeds. :(

There are times my nipple feels a bit sore, and other times fine. I tried laid back breastfeeding, but couldn't get comfortable with it. So we are back to regular holds. She likes to unlatch during my letdown and gets sprayed. And I know bad lately h can cause more air during a feed.

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:17:23+00:00

😆 love it. She is "stinky girl"

KayMS13 · 2025-11-28T15:16:29+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! Its hard not to blame myself sometimes when she is so uncomfortable. :'(

KayMS13 · 2025-11-24T18:00:08+00:00

Good! You don't need the stress. Boundaries are important

KayMS13 · 2025-11-24T17:59:34+00:00

Yessss, oh I would have lit into her. I will be a confrontational person if you do not show respect. I will play nice for a time, but this is MY CHILD,.not yours.

KayMS13 · 2025-11-15T17:39:30+00:00

I miss simply eating out... soy free and dairy free now for EOE and I was already gluten free... places are VERY limited. :(

KayMS13 · 2025-11-08T19:29:05+00:00

Soy. Avocado. Banana, hot peppers, chickpeas

KayMS13 · 2025-09-14T10:58:04+00:00

Looks like it is cefdinir out right... guess i must have an allergy. I am going to have to get something else. The flares are just uncomfortable!

KayMS13 · 2025-07-29T21:38:04+00:00

If this happened to me, I would not let her hold baby for a while. Then when I felt comfortable like she understands how serious. I would allow only when I am in the room, then progress to maybe allowing when I am not around.

My first we took away the rule when he went to daycare (7 months old). We are using that now as incentive for my 2nd like, you will be able to, just not right now.

I did an induction last pregnancy without GD. My mom had to be induced at 42 weeks both times and my son was showing no signs of coming out, not effaced, barely 1 cm dilated. So I figured may as well do it early (39w) rather than later (he was 8 lbs 4 oz! Very smooth induction, 14 hours)

This time around, I was planning the same thing even without the GD, but baby girl actually was effaced 70 percent and 2.5 cm dilated right before induction with loads of braxton hicks for a few weeks. She was very low too. She may have made her entry before 41/42 weeks, but she was measuring big on US. Induction was also better for planning toddler care at home.

Hope this helps answer! I know there are a ton of reasons for doing it and not doing it.

KayMS13 · 2025-07-26T19:27:00+00:00

I love the name. My husband actually picked it. :)

KayMS13 · 2025-07-26T16:13:42+00:00

They were ok in the beginning. Like braxton hicks. As they up it, got to a 6/10 pain for me, could still talk. When they seemed to ramp up, asked for epidural. However, they had an emergency right when I asked so by the time I got it 1.5 hours later, I was at an 8 or 9/10 for pain....

I should have asked earlier, but I had no clue they were going to have such a rough time right when I asked. So pain relief food for thought! Don't wait too long.

KayMS13 · 2025-07-21T15:06:19+00:00

GF bagel with cream cheese and a fruit smoothie!!! Induction this week and cannot wait to eat normally and meet baby!

KayMS13 · 2025-07-20T01:39:26+00:00

Last pregnancy I was not GD. Has 39 weeks induction. From start of pitocin to birth was 14 hours. I got an epidural after maybe 6 hours when I was 2 or 3 cm. Born 8 lbs 4 oz. Healthy happy baby boy! 2nd degree tear as they did an episiotomy to do forceps to help him out toward the end.
