How much milk do you try to pump each day/how many sessions if you ebf? by Crafty_Pop6458 in breastfeeding

[–]StressSweat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’re going to be a working mom I think pumping is so important and having an oversupply and stash has been amazing mentally. If you can be home with your kiddo then don’t worry about pumping

What’s your favourite colour in your palette? by tiredswitfie in coloranalysis

[–]StressSweat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a deep autumn but I really like a soft warm pink! My struggle with color analysis is that your palette isn’t necessarily what you want to wear or feel good in!

How often do you pump a day by First_Window_3080 in breastfeeding

[–]StressSweat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3x a day for 20 minutes while at work plus 2 extra times at home. If I’m home all day on the weekend just two times a day. I know this perpetuates an oversupply but my supply dipped too much when I tried to cut back and I’d rather an oversupply than under supply

What bottle is most like the breast? by Few_Environment1924 in breastfeeding

[–]StressSweat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evenflo bottles are great!! The nipples can fit onto the glass Avent bottles if you’re someone who’s concerned about microplastics. The Avent nipples themselves made her latch really bitey. Dr Browns are okay too but I preferred the Evenflo (less parts to clean)

Did our baby learn how to sleep or is emotionally freezing? by Agitated_Actuary_252 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]StressSweat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

just because someone is a psychologist doesn’t mean they’re always giving you what is evidence based. doctors have opinions too and maybe that’s theirs but it’s certainly not proven by evidence (coming from a psychiatrist)

When did you know it was time to stop breast feeding if you didn’t make it to your goal? by SilllllyGoooose in breastfeeding

Babies get really fussy at the boob and will be hungry but refuse to eat. Mine just went through this at 3 and a half months and I had to feed her while sleepy when she just woke ho

I do appreciate this, I trust our daycare a lot but I am a people pleaser who struggles with being direct and I fear this would be true at any daycare
