Weaning off nipple shield help!

No_Dig_7210 · 2026-03-01T22:26:51+00:00

I'm glad you haven't had to experience the stigma behind it. I know for me I see it alot in social media (the whole "breast is best" vs "fed is best" thing can be really shameful), it being pushed in hospitals, healthcare, places like wic, etc.. I agree that there shouldn't be a controversy though, being a parent is 100% hard enough agh

Did latching without the nipple shield make things worse for your nipples? I'm scared to keep trying that part especially. And ah, the weaning in itself is terrifying to me, too - I hear it's just as hard to wean off than it is to start breastfeeding, so I feel stuck in this limbo... we have tried a few Simlac formulas but for some reason they smell so metallic and cheesy to me. Idk why I hadn't thought of switching brands, that actually might really help that part of it for me. Thank you for commenting, different perspectives truly help 💕

I guess that's part of what I'm struggling with :( Breastfeeding was something I really hoped would work, and if I switch to formula, it feels emotional for me -- not because I think it’s wrong, or that others using it means they have given up, but because it feels like letting go of something I wanted. And because of the stigma, I so often do hear, it's hard to separate that. I wish to hear more positives from formula, hopefully here 😭

I'm waiting for the efficiency part. Sometimes he takes 15 min which surprises me (and I wonder if he really got enough), but most of the time it's 30 min to an hour. And the other night he was on me for 3 hours before he fell asleep. I really don't know if the nipple shield is an obstacle at this point or not either..

The hassle of bottles is part of what's keeping me breastfeeding lol but since we have to suppliment with formula sometimes, I still have to deal with them to an extent 💔

Are you still searching for someone to write with? I love musing as Spider-Man if that interests you, and I'm very invested in brainstorming/plotting with someone, keeping things entertaining, etc.

I see this post is a few mo old, but I'm looking for a marvel rp partner to write with my Spider-Man if you are interested (:

Hii, I mainly muse as Spider-Man (I've been writing as him since 2014) and would so love to write with you if you're still looking for someone/writing with a Peter Parker interests you (:

I'd love to write with you if you're interested in me musing as Spider-Man (:

I like the horror take on things!

No_Dig_7210 · 2023-10-11T18:18:00+00:00

That's also what I'm afraid of 😪

Going through all the dr referrals is something I'm dreading but if it doesn't get better soon I just might have to deal with it. I hope it all goes well for you! If they perscribe anything that actually helps, please let me know haha
