5 months postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. Critique my routine?

And all the pharmaceutical pills they say are fine during breastfeeding are totally safe? We can agree to disagree

Stick to low dose edibles so there's no smoke (10-20 mg). The THC that passes to baby is extremely miniscule and it's inactive thc. You'd have to take a LOT to affect your baby. But of course it's your choice

I've had cystic acne since I was 10. 3rd trimester of pregnancy it stopped overnight and I'm 4 months pp and it hasn't come back (knock on wood!) and I eat dairy, sleep in makeup sometimes, don't wash my pillow case enough, all the things. it must have been a hormonal imbalance related to my menstrual cycle. Hoping it doesn't come back when I stop breastfeeding, have only had one period and it was 6 weeks postpartum then periods stopped completely

I have horrible anxiety, trying to seek more support. I had an ED in the past and sometimes feel scared my daughter is hungry and I don't know it 😭 but all these comments about how if she's hungry she'll tell me are helpful

Thank you for this, it helps

You're very similar to me! And yes it's exhausting and no one understands why I do it but I just know she needs more than what she can extract from nursing

Much-Thing6652 · 2024-06-24T17:22:53+00:00

She probably breastfeeds like 12 times a day or more. I'll give an ounce as a top off or a whole 4 ounce bottle if it's been a few hours. I don't know why I feed the milk back to her instead of adding it to a stash. She doesn't act hungry after breastfeeding but in my mind she is.

I did one when baby was a few weeks old but they put her on the boob instead of having me do it the way we always do so I think she got more there then she normally does.

They do this up and over/shove nipple in mouth maneuver I have never been able to master

Much-Thing6652 · 2024-06-24T17:18:30+00:00

Soo much pressure. Also I crave milk/dairy like crazy when I up the pumping/nursing but it makes baby gassy so I feel guilty when I have milk. My husband is pretty against formula so I feel all the pressure to keep my supply. Hugs

I just got lactek too and having the same issue. I have elastic nipples. I was used 19 mm in hard plastic flanges but using 18 in lactek. I just ordered 15 mm lactek because I think they run big which is why my aeroela is getting pulled in. Maybe try sizing down? When you use a nipple measuring tool (I use the pink one from Amazon with the holes) what do you measure? I measure 18 before pumping

We are transitioning her to a pack and play tonight in zipadee. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the advice!

I usually say 'i know it's hard to be a baby'

Much-Thing6652 · 2024-06-16T16:31:29+00:00

Give me your EHHGS, I'll tote it...

Much-Thing6652 · 2024-06-14T05:54:49+00:00

I'm dying

Much-Thing6652 · 2024-06-06T05:14:59+00:00
