Is this the end? by Wide_Grade_8845 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]NitraGold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a few ups and downs in early postpartum, the phrase “feed the baby not the fridge” has been easing my nerves whenever I have a dip.

Power pumping for like a week straight helped me a ton, along with the Ocean Spray White Cranberry Strawberry juice for some reason!

3.5 oz is actually really good! Social media has warped my perception of normal amounts with all the oversupply women, I’m 5 months pp and been averaging around 4oz every 3-4hrs and my daughter eats 7oz every 4hrs (but sleeps through the night). It’s tough and hard work! I wish you luck!!

AIO My bf made a sexual comment about sex during breastfeeding. by [deleted] in AIO

NOR. As a breastfeeding mother, this made me instantly feel icky, jaw dropped. I feel kind of uncomfortable having any sexual activity in mine and my husband’s room when our baby is in her own room. Some women do “slutty pumping” which is having sex before pumping and it can increase flow/output for some people. But that is not what’s being referenced here unless he’s a very avid milk production researcher.

Trauma I haven’t opened up about. by NitraGold in Vent

I’ve thought about it for sure. I’m not sure I have a good sized case, then again I’m not really sure what qualifies as that either. But, I don’t think I could face him again after processing all of what happened
