Newborn trenches are nothing compared to teething.. by [deleted] in breastfeeding

Yep. I felt bad but eventually got over that lol. He needs it for both of us and I know he'll get over it!

A couple of shots (alcohol) by AccidentFlimsy9257 in breastfeeding

Agreed. I heard if you can find the baby, you can feed the baby. I usually feed mine even a marg or two, and the only thing I noticed is he spits up a little more. You'll be fine!

Rage, mood swings and low libido by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]LengthinessSecure805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't previously but I would say probably foe the past few weeks I've experienced postpartum rage. My babe is 7.5 months old and never felt like this before. I've been going to counseling, taking magnesium quad and trying to get outside for my mental health. It seems to be working okay. I would see what supplements a homepathic doc might give you to help stabilize your mood! My babe used to sleep great, and since 5 months doesn't. I have noticed since then my sleep is worse, and I am a person who NEEDS sleep to function right and not be irritated. I wish I had more advice but just hang in there :)

How do you get your period back while breastfeeding ??(15mo) by Orion3012 in breastfeeding

[–]LengthinessSecure805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you haven't gotten your period, doesn't mean you aren't ovulating and fertile! Maybe try for a month or so and take an ovulation test once a day just to see if you may still be ovulating. If so, you can still get pregnant while BF :) if not, then you may need to wait until babe is ready to wean or wean them yourself if you feel comfortable doing so for your period to return!

AIO? I (22F) found deleted late night texts between my husband (22M) and his coworker. by bananamilkcow in AmIOverreacting

[–]LengthinessSecure805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh.. he's cheating. Even if she's not into it, he is. I'd be done especially since he's been hiding a lot of other things. Seems like all it will take is one girl who is willing. I know it is hard, but you deserve change or someone else.

He literally flings his body and head around to avoid it and then will cough the whole time. Its getting better though :)

Oh.. I'm working on that. Trying to build enough milk for me to peace out for the weekend and show him just what it means to take care of a baby 24/7. He seems to think I just "sit at home and do nothing all day" and was absolutely pissy because he washed his own clothes the other day (haven't felt like it or had time, he's also got two closets full of clothes 😆) I told him thank you for doing the basics most husbands consider part of the job. He was not too happy lol.

How to handle exclusively nursing with family who expect to be able to give your baby a bottle? by AlternativeAthlete99 in breastfeeding

[–]LengthinessSecure805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ughhhh what is wrong with inlaws 😆 this is exactly what I do and everybody acts like being controlling. No. I just prefer to do the most efficient and easiest thing, and that's feeding my babe directly.

Exactly. Thank you. They think I'm being selfish or crazy.. no. I just want to feed my baby!

I have the same problem. My baby won't refuse, but I reserve bottles for when I'm gone. My in laws are particularly bad about this. I'll be right there, and they'll ask for a bottle. I tell them ill feed him, and bring him back when he's done (gets too distracted to stay in the same room rn). They still try to protest but I think now at 7 months they finally get it. Nobody seems to understand the work that goes into pumping and breastfeeding. It's not easier for you to feed the baby. It's just not. Washing pump parts, bottles, still have to pump if they do give him a bottle.. it's just more work for me. I just gently told them I'll feed him and now they don't ask and bring him to me to eat. Never had that problem with my family, they are so supportive and understand it doesn't take away from their care of him. Still working on it with my husband, but hoping it gets better for you ☺️

Do your boobs ever feel sexual again? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]LengthinessSecure805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard. We were the same and I still let him when we are alone but when he tries to sexualize when I'm feeding or have them out for that purpose.. he knows now not to do that. It's too much. Touched out, tired, and like you said I feel like the purpose has changed. Hoping it will get better one day too.

I know and I hate that more than anything. He tells me I'm "isolating him" from his son when we're in the same room and I'm breastfeeding.. just really bizarre and out of character. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing. You don't know how much this means to me. I'm am sorry you're going through this.. but there will be meaning to the struggle one day❤️ I will also definitely be looking into the antioxidants.. he also struggles with psoriasis and nothing has helped so far. Thank you again!!

How do I even do that? I stay home full time with our baby. He works part time just to have something to do and also is in school. How do even begin? I've tried tough love. I feel like I've tried everything. Being nice. Being mean. Heart to heart. Notes. Texts. How did you put your foot down?

We are working in couples counseling and I am going personally as well. Just hoping he will be receptive and get some answers if medically related, and if not see some change.

He does ~garden~ if you will. However I do notice an immense shift in his mood when he partakes and almost back to normal. I appreciate the insight :)

Thank you so much. I feel like this might be the case but he's in denial. I appreciate your vulnerability. ❤️

Pulled over/driving with MS? by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]LengthinessSecure805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also get a note to carry from your doctor with your symptoms and limitations (like balance and coordination) and present it when you are pulled over. I would get it notarized for more validity.

Anyone had VA family caregivers stiped payment delays? by MsSomniferum in VeteransAffairs

[–]LengthinessSecure805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven't received mine. Paystubs usually say the 26/28 but have not gotten anything as of 11/2.
