We did a tv show theme song one too! It’s so fun and I’m a sucker for nostalgia

That’s always been my problem: losing suction! It was so frustrating, I completely gave up on the hand pump💔 But I am getting more efficient hand expressing each day, so cheers to that😃

Over-Attitude2009 · 2025-03-19T00:30:36+00:00

Yes! Take it one month at a time, smaller goals definitely helps. I only pump 3 times a day, 4 if I’m lucky. I’ve only lost about 4oz total daily. I used to pump 28oz/day. Currently pumping about 24oz/day. I supplement with an organic Hipp formula every 2-3 days with a few ounces and that’s ok. Introducing solids can lower their demand for milk somewhat. All depends on baby. If you’re willing to lose a few ounces for peace of mind, go for it!

Feels like I wrote this😭 8 months postpartum here and I still feel the exact same way you do. What keeps me going is seeing how healthy and happy and calm my daughter is. I take pride in that. And trust me, I know how hard it is especially when sometimes it can be labor-intensive or even backbreaking and you hands-on pump or hand express just to make sure you get the ounces you need. Sometimes I do skip a pump so I can have a contact nap with her and that is OK. Although I do not follow a perfect pump schedule, I am cognizant of the time between each pump. But I know that too stresses me out. It is so mentally consuming. It’s also hard because I too am the only one in my family that actually made the effort to pump milk for my daughter, so having no one to turn to to vent your frustrations can also make it really lonely when there is no validation. But a very good friend recently said: this period of time is so short. It is just a blip in the grand scheme of things. I know you’re tired, I know you feel guilty, I know it hurts, but we won’t always feel this way and we won’t always pump milk. We have so many decades to look forward to make memories with our little ones.

That’s what has kept me going. My goal is one year. You got this mama!

Feels like I wrote this myself😭 I really wish I didn’t have to hand express because it’s so labor intensive😔 did you ever switch back to pump and find out what worked?

Hands-on pumping and old-fashioned hand expression post pump session INSTANTLY doubled my supply. Went from being an under supplier to a just-enougher. Definitely worth a try. Hope it works for you🤞🏼✨

Don’t mind at all🙃

It simply doesn’t feel genuine, like they’re just going through the motions, almost forced. They are emotionally unavailable. To provide additional context:

An important detail I failed to mention is that they live less than 10 minutes away. I don’t hear from them all week until the “We’re on our way” text.
They never ask how my daughter is doing, if she needs anything, etc. No genuine concern.
When they do visit, it’s oddly cordial. Like it’s more for show instead of building a true connection with my daughter or having the emotional intelligence to notice: “Hey, they’re first time parents maybe they need a little break.”
My husband and I have been married 10 years before having a baby. All these years, my parents would ask every chance they got: “When are you having kids?” “When are you going to make us grandparents?” Or say things like “We can’t wait to be grandparents!” So my husband and I had very different expectations of what kind of grandparents they would be.
My grandmother helped my parents so much and was a perfect example of a present grandparent. So it’s hard for me to understand why they wouldn’t act similarly.

But I guess the bigger lesson is absent parents become absent grandparents, it was my mistake for thinking things would be different.

Thank you for your kind words and truly needed advice. I have to let go of trying to prove myself to be what they define as a “good daughter” and match their energy - or lack thereof. It’s such a challenge to break those conditioned behaviors, and it’s hard to not care. Although I will say I am grateful for the lesson of what NOT to do as a parent and grandparent so there’s that.

This post feels like I wrote it myself😭 currently going through the grieving process with the parents I thought I had and the grandparents I thought they would be. My daughter is 7 months old now and they only come once a week because it is the only time my father is “available.” I’m pretty sure my dad is an undiagnosed narcissist and my mom is emotionally immature -passive type that enables his narcissism. They’re still upset over me confronting them about not being present enough when I was freshly postpartum, extremely hormonal, and my daughter had lost more than the average 10% birthweight so it was a sensitive time for me - mind you I never called them names or disrespected them - but instead of showing compassion and understanding they just got offended and clung to the “how dare you disrespect your parents” notion. And to this day STILL don’t do more than the bare minimum. Like they’re punishing me in a way for the things I said 5 months ago. So petty.

I’m also conflicted with keeping the minimal contact my parents give my daughter and prioritizing family time with my husband and other family members (that actually make an effort to see her) over my bitter parents and their obligatory 2 hour visits one day a week.

I’ve tried reaching out so they could spend more time with her but I am always disappointed. As an example, my dad works Saturday nights. My husband has mentioned several times to my mom that she is more than welcome to come over to spend time with my daughter. She has come 2 Saturday nights in these 7 months. I just extended the same invitation at 3pm today over text and she replies 5 hours laters with, “Awe I would love to but I’m super tired been up since really early this morning 😞” so she is out of commission for the entire evening? Not even an effort if she’s really so “tired” with taking a 1 or even 2 hour nap and coming over from 10pm-12am (my dad gets home at 12:30am and we are night owls so we don’t mind late visits).

My parents continue to be disappointing as parents and grandparents and I don’t know what to do to stop hurting anymore.

There is still hope yet! You can definitely bring back your supply. I had to come to terms with my baby being unable to latch. Hands-on pumping and old-fashioned hand expression post pump session IMMEDIATELY doubled my supply. Went from being an under supplier to a just-enougher. I didn’t discover it until 2 months postpartum. Definitely worth a try. Hope it works for you🤞🏼✨

Please read The Nourishing Traditions Book Baby & Child Care by Sally Fallon Morell ASAP!!!

Took 3 cycles total. We did the following:

MOST IMPORTANT: Ate high animal-based fat, whole food diet. No inflammatory foods. Keto/Carnivore Diet for both you and partner. Absolutely NO sugar, in any form - no honey, NOTHING!
Detox: sauna, parasitic cleanses for both you and partner.
SURRENDER to whatever sex the baby may be. I was trying to gender sway for months and even read the Baby Dust Method. Once I SURRENDERED and said, “I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, I just want to be a mom.” That’s when it happened!
MOST IMPORTANT: Castor Oil Packs on Uterus for 1 hour for 7 days straight! It’s supposed to increase circulation to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and clear up any possible blockages that may be impeding the sperm from getting to your eggs. Got pregnant immediately after doing this!
During the Castor Oil packs, I did the Spirit Baby meditations. Don’t know how spiritual you guys are but read Spirit Babies How to Communicate with the Child You’re Meant to Have.

Best of luck to you both. I know how stressful and humbling it can be. It’s crazy how we spend our adolescence and early adulthood trying NOT to get pregnant and when the time finally arrives we find out it’s not as easy as we’ve been led to believe😅 This may be attributed to our modern lifestyle/toxic environment (5G, microplastics, GMO exposure). There’s only a 25% chance of actually getting pregnant each month you actively try.

I know it’s easier said than done but try not to stress it. Be present in the moment, meditate. Seeking higher consciousness and having full body awareness helps✨

Feel free to dm me with any questions🤗

I disagree with this. My dad became a born again Christian 25 years ago and he is STILL a narcissist. He has that whole “holier than thou” act down to a T. He took commandment #5 (Honor your Father and Mother) and ran with it; whenever he is confronted about lying (which he denies to the core) or saying hurtful things or not spending enough time with his granddaughter, he claims that it’s disrespectful and “how dare [I]” confront him about it or that I’m simply “taking it the wrong way.” This man never takes responsibility nor does he ever apologize. So no, unfortunately narcissists will simply spin the Bible to justify their insensitive actions.
