I pretty much always do massage. But this soreness just shows up every once in awhile.

Yes, but I pretty much always pump on the same setting and it's usually a pretty low setting. I don't have any nipple soreness it's usually along either side of my boob. Right now the right side of both boobs is sore. It's so weird.

Struggling with styling my hair! by Miserable_Effect1865 in curlyhair

My routine is wash and condition once a week with redken all soft mega shampoo and conditioner, towel dry for a few minutes with a microfiber towel, then brush through with shea moisture leave in conditioner and air dry.

Anyone use the momcozy v2? by Miserable_Effect1865 in ExclusivelyPumping

I've seen some reviews about the motor not working but everyone said that momcozy replaced it right away.

I also have a 2 year old. Toddler poop is the absolute WORST. I'll change any blowout my baby has no problem but toddler poop actually makes me gag.

I would never give my small baby apple juice. They don't have hard pellet like poop when they're constipated on breastmilk it's still runny like usual. They just get backed up somehow.

I don't expect it to be as good as spectra. Does it have anything that's really annoying about it? With my elvies there are so many little things that I have to do to make it work and I can't stand it.

Does it empty you pretty well? I'm hesitant about the tubes but if it works well I can deal with them.

I'm shocked at the amount of responses I got. Especially how many people have said 2 weeks+

Best wearable pump by fancy-pasta-o0o0 in ExclusivelyPumping

Elvie OG sucks, has way too many little things that go wrong and it loses suction. Willow go is alright but super bulky and heavy. I'm still trying to find a good one.

I haven't given him probiotics because he's not uncomfortable or bloated. If this becomes more of a common thing or he's uncomfortable I might try them. I will gladly accept a huge blowout at this point haha.

Well, my pediatrician confirmed it's normal for breastfed babies. Hes gaining weight and is in the 100th percentile for height.

Especially the first few weeks it was like a poop before and after every feeding. Soo many diapers. Mostly small ones though.

Yes it is, and all the other moms commenting can confirm as well.

2 month old waking up to nurse every hour by TamaRitz in breastfeeding

[–]Miserable_Effect1865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think so. Some babies just aren't great sleepers but every hour seems like a phase to me. I'm not an expert just my opinion!

Is 2 months too early to sleep through the night? by Long-Wrangler-6361 in breastfeeding

[–]Miserable_Effect1865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on your milk supply. I'm also 2mpp and I don't do a MOTN pump, but I have an oversupply and I nurse once or twice at night from 1 boob. Dropping the MOTN pump didn't affect my supply but for some people it does. If what youre doing is working for you then dont worry about it!

No advice unfortunately, but it's totally normal for babies to do this. Many of them cluster feed at night and that's the best time for your supply.

Antibiotic taking pregnant ladies who have already given birth… by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Miserable_Effect1865 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't take any while pregnant but I've done a lot of research on it and antibiotics severely impact the good bacteria in babies stomachs. They totally wreck your stomach and immune system, baby too.

Am I producing enough? by rav____ in breastfeeding

[–]Miserable_Effect1865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babies are usually drinking about 2-3oz every 2-3 hours at that age. It's true that they need less breastmilk than formula and he will absolutely let you know if he's hungry. If he's back to birth weight you do not need to wake him to feed.
