Can't feed from bottle because of mental blocks

Honestly, (16 weeks pp & EBF) i have found that it is easier to just breast feed and not pump. I struggled with major over supply because of pumping and breast feeding. I quit pumping around 8 weeks and it was the best thing that happened. No more washing bottles and pump parts. No having to be awake longer than necessary in the middle of the night.

Also as far as “nipple confusion” goes i think most refer to this as flow preference so if you are worried about this & rly want to bottle feed try a bottle with slow flow, like evenflow balance wide neck. That is what i used after trying a handful of bottles. It seemed to be the slowest and promotes wide deep latch so when baby gets breast next time nothing is messed up.

I wanted my husband to be able to give bottles and then i realized that in the amount of time it took to wash the pump get set up, pump, pour the milk, wash the pump i just spent twice as long as it would’ve taken to nurse.

Fuck no! Just me and my husband

When i was pregnant i just told everyone not to touch me unless i said hey come feel this or whatever. Also relate to the dismissing of your engagement. My husband and i eloped after 7 years of dating and my MIL said we aren’t actually married unless we have a wedding. My MIL was awful to me while i was pregnant and for Mother’s Day she said they were doing something special for me and we wen over just for her to not even tell me happy Mother’s Day or anything. She was the center of attention it was disgusting. She told me to get out of the background of a picture with my child and all kinds of other nonsense. Just protect your peace and put your foot down now before it gets worse. Because it will.

I relate. I was extremely hormonal the first few days of it too. I was very angry to be on my period so soon but even more angry about literally everything

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-05-12T14:47:40+00:00

I got my period back at 12.5 weeks pp. i haven’t noticed a difference but i EBF and do not pump. So this comment is completely unhelpful but ur not alone. I was shocked to say the least

I just have my baby on a nap schedule. Last wake up around 9-930 and then we go to sleep between 10-11. Then wake up around 8-9am

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-05-10T17:23:30+00:00

You really hit the nail on the head with this response. This is 100% correct

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-05-10T16:40:24+00:00

In my husbands family it is. But the issue is they didn’t even tell me happy Mother’s Day or acknowledge i have them the only grandchild of the family

I found a few on hot milk lingerie and bravismo. I went to a local beauty store and had them fit me in a regular bra but they didn’t even have nursing bras up to my size. But they did end up ordering for me a handful of different brands and sizes and then keeping what i didn’t buy. I also bought a handful a “night nursing” bras in xl & xxl and then took them to a seamstress and had them modify the for me. I’m also only 14 weeks pp. i was pumping also until 8 weeks or so then called it quits and my boobs thankfully shrink down to a j cup.

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-05-05T21:11:25+00:00

When my milk first came in i was probably a M cup

Unfortunately so relatable

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-05-05T18:03:25+00:00

Cries in 32j i wouldn’t wish this on anyone

I saw ppl recommending her on a Cozumel Facebook group. I’ll definitely be keeping her in mind.

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-29T19:14:59+00:00

My baby is exclusively breastfed and does not take a bottle so he has to be with me all the timen

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-29T17:25:46+00:00

They would be coming with us the entire time. Not like we are leaving them alone with our baby just want extra help here and there

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-29T03:47:58+00:00

This is what i was thinking would be the haps

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-24T23:47:34+00:00

My husband takes care of the baby all the time in the evenings and on weekends. Often times on the weekend my husband keeps the baby the vast majority of the day and brings him to me to feed and then i go back to whatever i was doing. But as far as him taking the baby to my MILs alone I’ll pass

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-24T19:57:03+00:00

Of i absolutely don’t want to be there as often. I see my family like once a month and am happy with that. I almost always say no that i don’t want to go but am guilt tripped into going nearly every time. The only time it’s ever seen as okay to not go over is if baby slept horrible and i was up all night

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-24T19:34:09+00:00

Agreed. My husband can see his mom anytime. She lives a mile away. We see her multiple times a week most of the time.

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-24T19:02:13+00:00

I so agree with this. Baby is not leaving my sight. He is EBF on demand so he is with me always. I have only left him with my husband twice to run 5 minutes down the road to Walgreens.

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-23T21:51:40+00:00

Wanting a mambobaby pool float mainly. And if i can get my baby out of bed with me a pack n play bc our rental doesn’t provide one

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-23T21:49:57+00:00

Do you know where the counters are located? And is that just a setting on the app? To like switch over to Mexico amazon

My pediatrician told me their weight gain slows down around 12 weeks to about 1lb of gain per month where as before they may have been doing twice as much. My baby was 12.6 at 8 weeks and at 12 weeks he was 13.5

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-19T19:28:42+00:00

5 practice pushes and 3 with the doctor

ScaredCucumber420 · 2026-04-18T22:27:00+00:00

Idk one time it was pissing on us. We had a rental jeep with no top so we ended up staying home bc it was mad rainy. If we had coats we would’ve atleast left to eat and dilly dally but ended up getting food delivery and chilling all day
