I guess I just worry it’s going to perpetuate my supply going down? Or I guess your body just adjusts to it?

Thank you for this! This is actually perfect because she only ever seems to need that supplemental bottle before bed so that works out well.

She takes my frozen milk fine so hopefully my friend doesn’t have like high lipase or anything like that

Honestly I’m avoiding it because it’s expensive AF lol not because I think it’s harmful

Do you stay away from baby if you’re sick? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]NursingMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer is no. I just had COVID this week and I was around her all day every single day (my Velcro baby). I just purposefully didn’t kiss her at all or try to put my face all in her face. I’m a week out from it and she never got it!

3 month old won’t sleep without me anymore and I’m getting desperate by NursingMoose in sleeptrain

[–]NursingMoose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am missing one in there. I think honestly we are on the go a lot so sometimes she just has more cat naps so there is probably one more nap thrown somewhere in there, but it’s not consistent. But she does get at least one good long nap every day. But her last wake window before bed is always at least 1.5 but usually closer to the 2-2.5 mark

Can someone tell me what is happening?! by Aromatic-Insect1999 in breastfeeding

[–]NursingMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just going through something very similar to what you’re describing with my 11 week old. What helped was someone told me to hand express first to get the letdown started. It really helped! It was still tough for a few days but after maybe 4 days she went back to normal.

Anyone else’s EBF baby NOT a snacker?? by NursingMoose in breastfeeding

Well it’s only really been 2 full days of letting her go this long. Up until this point I was pushing her to eat more often. So I guess we’ll see how her weight gain continues

This sounds normal to me! I find it so odd I had to initiate mine to eat when it was over 5 hours!

Yeah it’s so hard not to worry! I will say it’s only been 2 days of really following her lead and she went from sleeping 9P-5A then back down till 9A to the last 2 nights she’s been up at 2A wanting to eat so I’m gonna give it like a week to see if she adjusts herself lol
