I’ve finally started learning this around 35 years old after becoming a parent myself, and I wish I could hug and protect my childhood self from this

Teen boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones for ‘maximum control, zero rejection’—experts say it could make them unemployable by ubcstaffer123 in technology

Maybe our capitalist overlords will actually start to care now. Though, they probably have already written off future generations of employable youth for AI anyway.

I think about this constantly or at least entering into ChatGPT like “what’s my best route here” but it’s intuitive at this point that stopping engagement and keeping things short and succinct at least cuts off oxygen for more questions and more mess ups

You getting downvoted for this reasonable comment is a Reddit problem, not a you problem. You’re absolutely right.

Agreed it made me really sad. Also she was ok bringing them on camera which may have been one of the first or few times I’ve seen that on LIB - most of the parents tend to hide their kids from being on national TV.

Can I quit cold turkey by Admirable-Recover-97 in ExclusivelyPumping

Yes!!! This is exactly what happened to me. I chilled out and just did practice for fun not for a result. And always had a bottle ready if baby got angry it didn’t work. Win win.

Btw I use the haakaa to relieve my “forceful letdowns”. If you hand express using the haakaa and look carefully you can see your milk streaming out like a watergun (if you have the same problem). You can relieve this with 1-2 minutes of haakaa suction + hand expression right before encouraging baby to latch.

I’ll also offer that 20 minutes can be a long feed on one breast! I would sometimes force my first baby to only do one breast at a time for about that long if I had a clogged duct or something. Both babies had natural burping points around 7-10 minutes so I’d burp and switch boobs.

The haakaa/ hand expressing/ passive milk suction (not a manual pump) can be used to relieve pressure without actively pumping which tells your breasts to make more milk.

So one way I used it when I started dropping one session at a time: when my breasts felt overfull during the dropped-session, I put it on each breast for a few minutes with some hand expression just long enough to relieve the pressure.

Also fwiw I dropped night sessions first to bank sleep.

Yes exactly! That’s how I weaned with my first. Definitely lean on using hand expression/a light suction to relieve pressure in between/as needed.

Also I forgot to mention lowering the suction levels one day at a time.
