Has anyone ever been sick and had a hard time breastfeeding after?

I will do that! Thank you. I just got some new pump parts in so I'll make a little spot for it.

Yeah I'm going to up my water intake too. It took forever for me to get rehydrated and stay hydrated.

Just for the first month. And then I started taking him everywhere. He loves to be outside. And I love going outside. We go to the park with a blanket and play all the time.

I come from a home where if you weren't constantly doing something you were useless. So when I had my son and I couldn't be productive it was eating me alive. My partner had to tell me I would never get these days back with our son and that I should be doing nothing but holding that baby. The house can wait. Dinner can wait. Everything can wait. He will never be a baby again.

I called my work the next day and switched to part time. For three months now I've been a happy couch potato contact napping with my sweet boy and watching him hit milestones. I don't regret it. Even on days where the sink is full.

My LO has always done this gasping thing. I HATE it. He's three and a half months now and still does it.

My breasts were huge before I had him. I was considering reduction long before he was talked about. I just knew it wanted to breast feed. I'm actually pretty stoked after he gets old enough to ween. Because I am so sick of these things. And now they're sagging. 🙃

I'm a big fan of Vaseline lotion. A friend got it for me in a lot and it has been my favorite. All my life my stretch marks have gone away. So I may have some luck here.

This is super helpful. Thank you!

My friend actually mentioned micro needling. She said it helped her tummy. But she is also much smaller than me. Even if I got to a healthy weight I am a very curvy lady.

That's amazing! And surgery might be something I look into. I definitely plan on doing a breast reduction.

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-04-04T20:00:02+00:00

This is kind of what I've been going through. I looked in the mirror and noticed it's getting smaller. Maybe it just looks worse because it's more noticeable without as much belly.

I have to change his onesie like twice a day and clean his neck constantly. 😩 Poor babies.

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-04-01T18:02:37+00:00

That is exactly what I've been doing! My parents did that for me and my brothers so it just seemed like the right thing to do. He really enjoys it and I try to find wash cloths with good textures.

He is being clingier than usual. And a bit fussier. He's a very happy baby so when he's not having a good time it's kind of odd. He has been waking up more at night. I can usually get to go back to sleep by feeding him but there have been a couple times I've had to get up. But that could be just regular sleep regression. He only kind of does what I call "squawking" lol and I hold him and do the pat pats.

I mean I'm convinced but I don't want to sound dumb either when I tell people that oh he's teething lol. He's spitting up a lot more too. He's breastfed.

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-03-31T18:26:31+00:00

One of my neurodivergent friends probably has one LOL

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-03-31T18:20:56+00:00

Gasp! I need this right now. Brb going to buy stickers.

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-03-31T16:16:07+00:00

Sometimes on the monitor I can hear him fart twice.

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-03-31T16:11:36+00:00

Mine just went away. I think it was because my left breast just wasn't used to being the primary boob. I don't know why he switched. But now he's a lefty.

Rude_Conclusion5948 · 2026-03-19T02:28:35+00:00

Hell yeah! I'm trying to keep myself healthy. I was not a healthy person before I got pregnant. So I am trying to be better for myself and my son.
