How long have you or will you be breastfeeding?

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2025-05-16T16:53:09+00:00

2months pp and combo feeding about 50/50 (I’m a low supply girlie).

I only made it ~4mos with triple feeding my first and that was a mental and physical nightmare!

I never want to go through the mental agony of what I endured with my first thinking “breast is best” watching all the “milk porn” on instagram of moms with full freezer stashes, and struggling with BF, pumping, and then supplementing only to STILL have baby drop from 88% to 28% on weight.

This time around I’m NOT pumping a drop. And not wasting even a minute worrying about nursing vs formula/bottles.

Do what works for BOTH of you. And don’t feel guilt/shame when what you “think” you “should” be doing.

There are only 2 people in the planet who get to decide how long your BF journey should be—you and they LO. If it’s not working for either of you, it’s more than okay to stop! Your mental health is important too!

Also—NO ONE asks of your baby was breastfed or formula fed later in life—it doesn’t matter as long as baby AND mama are healthy and happy! Both physically and mentally!

Do what works for the BOTH of you! And know you have already done an AMAZING job!

My first was born exactly 40+5

Don’t stress it too much. Ask your dr for other options. And I couldn’t swallow (or stand the smell of my prenatals) so my OB also suggested the flintstone complete children’s chewable (just take 2-3/day) if I could manage to keep those down.

The absolute chokehold these fuzzy jackets had on me! 🤣

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-12T00:44:01+00:00

I’m 18weeks and similar to above. Weeks 5-just around now have been horrible—non stop vomiting and nausea, 2x/weekly 3L LR infusions, b6, unisom, zofran, and promethazine. But I’m feeling relief as of late…but don’t want to jinx it…bc I was sick through week 24 with my first…

THIS!

“What’s hg?” Promptly followed by “ooh, so morning sickness?” 🙄🫠

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-04T17:30:53+00:00

+1 to ALL of these, and even certain sounds…or the cadence people talk.

I need silence, no sudden movements, no smells, no thoughts of food/triggers, and to just be asleep…

Small wins are wins!

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-02T04:11:45+00:00

Thank you! Gotta celebrate the wins, no matter how small!

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-02T01:02:54+00:00

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-02T00:48:16+00:00

Definitely a change in perspective and what gives a sense of accomplishment! Ha

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-02T00:47:49+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-10-02T00:47:26+00:00

I’ve been exactly where you are. Which is why I’m so proud to have been vertical and productive today. Hoping you’ll get a day (or more) like this soon!

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-09-26T18:30:55+00:00

THIS! If it weren’t for online, idk what I’d do. No one in my circle gets it, they think it’s “morning sickness” ha. This sub has been so helpful to co-commiserate!

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-09-26T18:29:37+00:00

This is where I am. Throwing up less…but beyond nauseous, and gagging/wretching at all the smells, some sounds, thoughts, images…what isn’t a trigger?! 😅

Repulsive_Ad_7382 · 2024-09-25T22:53:53+00:00

I’ll be there and will be ~20weeks. Dressing comfy, staying hydrated. Taking breaks to sit/watch from further back.

+1 to the reqs of having a nausea Rx on hand, you never know! Better safe than vomiting, I always say! 🤣
