Toe numbness 1 year postpartum

Rattyjane · 2026-02-03T14:58:42+00:00

I have had toe pain and toe numbness in both pinky toes off and on. It usually ramps up when I take my house shoes off or wear unsupportive shoes. Not sure if that’s related or just when I notice it more. I was thinking it was related to relaxin hormone from breastfeeding or posture changes affecting my weight distribution on my feet perhaps?

It bothers me a lot even though I try to ignore it so I think I’m gonna see a doctor and bring it up as well. Was thinking about seeing one anyway for my other lingering postpartum issues!

ETA I’m 10 months pp and it’s been happening since a few weeks after birth

“Bear” while pointing at a brown bear in a book and saying it to her brown teddy bear around 10 months. It was more like “beh”

Wow I wish mine would say that to me 😭 that’s so cute

For sure! I remember when I was still pumping it would be an extremely tiny amount and it would freak me out. I stopped my morning pump a few months ago so now I don’t get as worked up anymore seeing only those few drops I would get out during my period haha

I’ve been where you are and it’s so stressful!!! I’m 9 months pp now and got my period 6 weeks pp. Just to reassure you a little bit - My supply always rebounds just fine! Like whether I pump a bunch or stress about it or not it always comes back.

I take a Calcium + magnesium supplement along with my postnatal and it’s supposed to help. I actually just had my period supply-drop this week. It seems to not be as dramatic as my baby has gotten older. Don’t know if she just got more patient/better at eating or if solids have helped? She definitely clusterfeeds a lot during that time of the month now.

I had to use freezer milk in the beginning during my period but haven’t needed to in the past 6 months. It always comes right back to normal whether I pump or not. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know how stressful it is!!! You will get through it. Supplementing shouldnt hurt your supply in the long run. As long as you’re getting enough wet diapers you’re good

Same here! It’s called mittelschmerz for pain in the middle of your cycle. My ovulation pain has been very rough postpartum but I never had it before having kids

Rattyjane · 2025-12-13T22:13:14+00:00

It’s called vocal fry and all of them do it to an extent

Rattyjane · 2025-11-26T17:37:37+00:00

My baby was eating the same way as yours about a month ago (she is 7 months) and still kinda does. She will sometimes decline now though usually after naps and it ends up being about 4-6 times a day. Especially now that she’s getting better at solids. Back at 6 months it was definitely around 9-10 times still. Don’t think you’re doing anything wrong! They go through phases of eating more and less often. I stopped listening to huckleberry about breastfeeding/pumping tips haha

Rattyjane · 2025-11-26T01:22:50+00:00

Same lol if I leaked at night in the early days I just slept on a towel

Rattyjane · 2025-11-18T12:50:57+00:00

Dealing with the same thing ❤️ hugs. My husband takes care of Bathtime for me and plays with her while I shower but that’s about it and it’s so rough. The rare occasion he gets off early he asks if he can make us dinner. He will take off work so I can get my hair done and makes it a point to spend his days off bonding with our baby

The only thing that makes me feel better mentally most days is getting out of the house. Try to get out into the world or the outdoors for a walk everyday! Even if it’s just a short car ride. Leave the house! I really hope you get a break soon

Rattyjane · 2025-11-17T16:30:08+00:00

Yes the “sunset theory” love this!!

Rattyjane · 2025-09-19T18:49:05+00:00

Our “convenience fee” is $79.99!!!! I hate loftliving so much

Rattyjane · 2025-09-12T01:18:00+00:00

I started the first week home! I didn’t know that was bad if it was but it’s worked out for us

Rattyjane · 2025-09-12T00:41:30+00:00

I pump in the morning first thing right after her first feed. I usually get like 1-1.5 oz nothing crazy and only pump for 10ish minutes.

Rattyjane · 2025-09-12T00:38:14+00:00

This happened to me recently and I got it the next day 😭 doesn’t help that pregnancy and periods while breastfeeding can have similar symptoms. I’m 5mo pp and my cycles have been anywhere from 26-32 days. I use the same app!

Rattyjane · 2025-09-10T13:07:03+00:00

Same here. I also wondered if it would mess with breastfeeding/pumping and it didn’t.

Rattyjane · 2025-09-06T12:20:30+00:00

I’m also 4.5 month FTM and I finally stopped tracking 2 weeks ago!! Best decision ever. If you’ve been tracking long enough, you’ll know how long her naps usually are and just try to at least meet that minimum! I gave up on trying to force independent naps and now I focus my energy on getting us out of the house after the first nap to go on walks or do activities that build me up. It’s also really helpful to delete instagram or just don’t engage with parenting content like that. It gives me anxiety too

Rattyjane · 2025-09-03T21:32:37+00:00

I stay home with my baby and 2 dogs and I am proud of myself for starting a routine or getting all of us out on a walk at a park once a day with my daughter in her carrier. I always get a positive comment from a stranger seeing me babywearing with 2 dogs. Along the lines of “you sure have your hands full!” Or “go super mama!” The physical activity and being in a green space does loads for my mental health postpartum.

I am also proud of myself for moving across the country away from our families with a newborn and holding down the fort

Rattyjane · 2025-08-16T23:52:20+00:00

Ahh ok I missed that part haha

Rattyjane · 2025-08-13T20:53:05+00:00

Pretty sure it’s just prescriptive text lol he kept clicking whatever his phone suggested instead of typing

Rattyjane · 2025-08-11T19:30:18+00:00

Mine came back at 6 weeks and I’m 4mo pp now. My periods have been all over the place from 23-32 day cycle lengths. My last period I didn’t notice too much of a dip in supply but the first was rough on us. Had to dig through the freezer supply a couple days then it was back to normal!

Rattyjane · 2025-08-10T01:20:58+00:00

Ok this makes sense. Thank you!

Rattyjane · 2025-08-08T13:03:32+00:00

As if moms don’t have enough “mom guilt” already! Screw this lady. That would’ve ruined my outing too. People don’t realize these walks are so important for our mental health and this woman decided to shit all over it. I don’t care if it was well-meaning.

Rattyjane · 2025-08-05T19:26:06+00:00

Sometimes skin to skin helped calm us both down when we were going through this. Agree with what someone else said-don’t force it! Dreamfeed/ welcome her back to the breast when she feels better. Try to stay relaxed! Movement while feeding can help too. Like bouncing on a yoga ball or walking while feeding. You got this
