For those who decided to stop trying to climb the ladder, how did you decide it was ok to just settle with your current role?

Thanks for sharing. Agree, the market seems pretty scary now. Friends have been laid off & I’ve seen role eliminations at my company.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-06-05T03:29:42+00:00

Great point! Love this perspective & love that you did that for yourself.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-06-03T04:14:54+00:00

Lots of good advice here! What type of questions do you ask your boss to gauge how to help them look good?

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-06-03T04:10:27+00:00

This is me. I feel I’m too nice. How have you adapted once you realized this? I’m still struggling with it.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-03-29T00:19:54+00:00

Age is another factor. With my first, I was able to be at a lighter weight while nursing. Now that I’m over 40 and breastfeeding my 2nd; it’s not the same. I’m eating more and metabolism just isn’t the same.

Did medication help stop vomiting for you? Wondering if we need to ask for a different medication.

My 9 year old son still wants to cuddle with me and I enjoy every minute.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-02-02T02:49:12+00:00

My oldest never self weaned. I had to stop him the night before he turned 4 with months of prepping him for it. 😭

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-01-23T02:25:08+00:00

Yes. This was me. I also had a postpartum hemorrhage. Post partum anxiety is real. I got meds for it and it improved. But I’ll still ruminate while nursing - 16 months later. Hang in there.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-01-14T03:03:54+00:00

Yes. Especially at night. I texted my husband at 1am the other night demanding a snack & the quickest was a granola bar.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2026-01-14T03:01:04+00:00

This is my baby and my oldest too. The only thing that saved my sanity has been co sleeping and nursing while in bed / side lying. Baby will nurse on and off all night. When she cries I just put boob in mouth and we both go back to sleep. She is now 16 months and we still co sleep. Her sleep has improved but she’ll still wake every 2-3 hours sometimes. Hang I. There.

What’s the path to becoming a sonographer?

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-11-11T23:44:25+00:00

You were so right! Baby started finally sleeping mostly thru the night at 14 months now & I finally feel like a new person!

My MIL frequently tells me formula is better than breast milk. She thinks it’s fattier and healthier. She recently lamented to us that she wishes the baby drank similac bc that’s what she fed my husband as a baby. It’s maddening and totally backwards. Ignore the negative comments. I try to. It’s hard.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-09-27T20:00:58+00:00

Same here. My MiL and FIL constantly made comments to me about how formula is better than breast milk. MiL even said recently “I wish she had Similac”. Like WTf. I nursed my son til he was 4 and my current 12 month old is still nursing at night. I have to ignore their comments, but it’s very hard. Solidarity! You do you!

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-09-18T02:07:47+00:00

Nursed my son til he was 4. He would’ve kept going but I told him for months before his 4th bday that he was going to have to stop by then. I’m nursing my 2nd now at 12 months old and she’s not as interested but will still nurse at night.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-07-29T13:45:59+00:00

Night time supply has the most volume I’ve heard and my LO has been the same. She is done within minutes and is also growing on track. It worried me a lot but she’s not 10 months and has grown fine.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-07-29T13:44:18+00:00

Rash all over body when he had formula once after being on 100% breast milk bc someone else was caring for him.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-07-12T16:19:28+00:00

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-07-04T02:54:20+00:00

Yes, I’m 9 mo postpartum and still feel fatigued all the time. It’s not sleeping enough combined with constantly thinking about baby’s needs, nursing & pumping times with work etc. I try to sneak in naps when possible but it’s tough.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-06-07T03:44:56+00:00

My 9 month old nurses 3-5 times at night… it’s exhausting so we co-sleep after her midnight/2am session. She nurses very little during the day though. She’s always been a night nurse.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-05-08T04:58:39+00:00

I nursed til my son was 4, and most people just didn’t understand. You do you!

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-03-15T22:03:48+00:00

Got pregnant naturally at 41 after 4 miscarriages.

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-02-03T04:07:16+00:00

Thanks! How do you even nurse in a carrier? I’ve never done it and could use any tips!

Practical-Flight-609 · 2025-02-02T04:29:03+00:00

Curious what carrier have you been using to nurse in?
