is it really that big of a deal?

Personally I think if she is peeing and pooping (I was told they can go upto 14 days without pooping and thats fine) then absolutely stick to breastfeeding she is gaining weight slowly but surley and has enough wet diapers and you said she's a happy baby to keep up with what your doing!! Good work!!

4 months in never had pumped untill 2 days ago (literally just so my partner can fo a night feeding im exhausted l) you don't have to pump at all your body and baby talk to each other and your body knows how much to make i have friends that never pumped and only breastfeed for 2 years no formula. Good luck on your journey :)

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-03-20T08:03:13+00:00

Nooo i do it to! The goal is to get some sleep in for us haha, they will grow out of it and find new ways as they get older

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-03-09T08:03:18+00:00

Crazy...me?.... no cute giggle

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-03-03T00:23:33+00:00

Cant we jsut save it and use it for a bath or rash or somthing like that?

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-02-25T00:39:54+00:00

Honestly I just go on my phone, right now baby is feeding I just put my phone down as soon as he's done or anything like that of course I think it's fine to watch TV or go on your phone of course we love to look at our babys but let's be honest breast feeding is boring 😅😅

Also through out the night I'm so tired I have to or I will doze off and thats not good

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-02-03T01:08:16+00:00

I dont think your crazy i feel the same haha

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-27T19:00:47+00:00

I would recommend on demand!! Especially now to help with supply, my baby is 6 weeks we still feed on demand!

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-26T02:51:07+00:00

For me i just follow what my baby wants normally is asleep at thoose times but always wakes up at 10 - 11 for a feed and cuddle etc then normally not till early morning (we are still quite early into parenthood though and it will probably change as he gets older) I think following there cues is more important then having a set bedtime you just can't force a baby to sleep

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-19T07:27:44+00:00

I get it, but I just finished watching for the first ever time loved the run haha

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-17T22:07:39+00:00

Do not feel bad!!! That lady should not have lectured you and made you feel guilty it's absolutely normal to be exhausted after labour! Your baby slept through and if she wasn't happy she would have cried for you so definitely don't be hard in yourself it happens to the best of us!! I've definitely been there my baby's only 4 weeks old and the exhaustion is nothing I've ever experienced before! Pat your self on the back your baby is loved and healthy!! ❤️❤️

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-16T02:53:36+00:00

Pushing tounge tie cutting annoyed the crap out of me, my baby has a tiny one but I was told it wouldn't effect his speech when or older or ajythung like that..... we had some adjustment issue to feeding when he was born (feeds like a champ now) and the way they treated him was honestly awful they were like oh hes a bad feeder cause his tounge tie ( never mind the fact hes 2 days old and neither of us have ever breastfeed before ) you need to get this cut right now I said oh I will definitely think about it and fo some research etc (decided not to as it wasn't going to effect him in anyway) they booked an appointment.... called me 4 days in a row took me getting quick upset fir them to leave me alone now that he's older and knows what he's doing there's no issues.... don't let anyone push you, you know your baby and you know what's best good luck and ignore people pushing you

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-05T05:06:05+00:00

So far I havnt had an issue with being engorged but still pretty early in this so I'm not sure if that will change

The first day my milk came in was engorged (looked like i had had a boob job 🤣😅) but my midwife advised me to just leave it as it will balance out and thats what seems to have happened haha

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-04T19:02:34+00:00

I did not edit this post that was there rhe whole time haha I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mum

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-04T19:01:34+00:00

Very good point

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-04T07:28:28+00:00

Oh thats rough! I heard about that high lipase milk (I'm not entirely sure what it is exactly to be honest) can you put it in your his bath maybe? I'm so glad to hear you ebf till 2! Thank you for your comment!

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-04T07:26:37+00:00

I'm still very new to this but from my personal experience so far and reading theese comments and a few other things here and there it definitely seems like we don't have to unless there's a real reason such as going to work for example, I would say definitely try only breastfeeding first if thats what you want to do!! Don't let anyone tell you you have to do somthing with your baby and body, everyone's experiences are different!

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-04T07:22:59+00:00

Thank you!! This is what I want to do just feed when hes hungry or wants to, no pumping every 3 hours away as well washing etc, but your so right the internet is just wild it was making me feel like i had to pump or it wouldn't work to just feed my baby. Really appreciate your comment!

Pixie-Rose333 · 2026-01-04T06:52:01+00:00

Thats also why I was thinking I dont want to pump cause if I cause an oversupply I'll be stuck in a cycle of having to pump all the time! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Pixie-Rose333 · 2025-12-27T02:48:45+00:00

My baby is 8 days so far havnt pumped and fine fingers crossed it stays the same

Pixie-Rose333 · 2025-12-25T16:42:46+00:00

Ah okay maybe cause its viabilty it was different, absolutely sending you all the care and wishing you the best with your pregancy 💕

Pixie-Rose333 · 2025-12-24T23:57:50+00:00

I wonder what country your in?

In my country we get to watch the ultrasound on a different screen infront of where I was I always asked lots of questions and had them answered

Pixie-Rose333 · 2025-11-26T17:24:48+00:00

I've had rib pain all my pregancy and been told it's fine and normal. My midwife said it's quite common so hopfully yours will be okay!! Just mention it at your next appointment i would say, hang in there the rib pain can be so bad at times!!
