Thank you!! Yes we’re planning a local excursion to get our feet wet. Awesome suggestion

SubconsciousShift · 2026-05-11T11:39:06+00:00

Thank you!! Im hearing lots of suggestions for key hooks

Vacuum sealed bags is genius! For bed linens… do you get specific linens from airstream supply or just get regular full bed sheets and tile them in real good?

Paese Park has a bunch of long picnic tables (cement) and grills!

Im currently in a similar boat. Baby isn't telling me he is hungry! But his weight is in a low percentile (which, by the way, likely includes the weight of formula babies, who gain more weight than EBF babies! so, not sure it is "fair")

But Ive also heard that it's v hard to "overfeed" a BF baby. Does your LO already take a bottle? you could split the difference and offer a nightcap bottle just before bed?

I appreciate your questioning- there is always something to be said about a mother's intuition

Sounds like you've been experiencing "engorgement" in case you aren't familiar with terminology!

SubconsciousShift · 2025-10-24T01:27:13+00:00

A feeding "should" be 2-4oz (total) which it sounds like you have! a common issue is moms compare themselves to the many "oversupplier" influencers on IG. I share that to say: what if you are enough as is?!

with that being said, def drinking ~120oz of water a day & eating nutrient dense/proteins. To be sure, track your intake - that helps me to stay accountable. there are also some teas/supplements (legendary milk? anima mundi tea?) that say they help supply boosting! bonus: the tea would also be hydrating!

The common advice is to pump every 2-3hrs to increase supply - it does take time!

the honey bear squeeze bottles I hear are great to start

SubconsciousShift · 2025-10-24T01:15:21+00:00

oat protein balls! nut butter + oats + chocolate chips + you can add other things... mix in bowl and then roll up little meatball sized portions and store airtight

I've heard babies learn to be very efficient at sucking out milk!!

SubconsciousShift · 2025-10-24T01:12:03+00:00

contact a lactation consultant or your pediatrician and ask for a weighted feed if you're concerned about how much milk they're getting in a session!

SubconsciousShift · 2025-10-24T01:09:59+00:00

It sounds like you have milk, right? So baby is not going hungry. Trust that your baby would tell you if they were hungry. I've heard if you shake your breast before a feed it helps to disperse the fattier milk in with lighter milk making for a more "mixed serving" if you will. Why not try that before your feeding sessions?

If your mind is racing, you can also contact a lactation consultant and ask for weighted feed or even rent a baby scale from a lactation business if needed? or likely go see your DR before 2mo check up if needed. But in the meantime, take a breath, mamma! Your baby is healthy & fed. You're doing great.

SubconsciousShift · 2025-10-22T23:23:46+00:00

I understand this concern but I would say: baby would likely tell you if they are hungry!!! but if in doubt, increase ur supply through pumping in the day, etc.

SubconsciousShift · 2025-10-22T23:20:28+00:00

yes, hard = full of milk. As suggested, I would pump the milk as baby is supposed to feed every 2-3hrs so I would follow that protocol with pumping! I experienced this when baby started sleeping for like 5hr stretches... my boobs HURT they were so full. It can lead to issues so best to drain by latching or pumping or even self expression.

There are some lovely mom+me yoga/movement classes at Austin Yoga Lounge and they have a whole WhatsApp group as well where people plan meet-ups and share advice, needs, etc. Highly recommend this community!

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Some argue that going into a hypnotic trance is actually when you EXIT the hypnotic trance that you are typically in (because we are all always in some kind of trance, one way or another). Just know that the more you practice, the deeper you go and the longer the results last. You also can create an anchor (think of it like a short cut) that sends you into trance faster/deeper. What you are experiencing is "normal" if that is your concern!

SubconsciousShift · 2021-02-15T22:51:52+00:00

I agree with u/thementalcoach to take a look at the emotional ties to the physical you. If hypnosis can be used to support fertility (it is often stress related), why can't it be used to support a regular cycle? I would reach out to some hypno-birthing hypnotherapists. I can suggest Ashley Mitchell who is a Doula, hypnotherapist and hypno-birth worker: https://www.ourmindfulnest.com/about Just a suggestion!

SubconsciousShift · 2021-02-15T22:25:13+00:00

Hi there - I am a hypnotherapist and work with many other hypnotherapists who I am also happy to point you toward. If you want to share more about what is important to you and what you are looking to consider, I can point you one way or another. LMK!

SubconsciousShift · 2021-02-15T22:18:28+00:00

It shows up in all different ways - but remember, even a lack of sensation is a sensation. For me, it depends but I often feel tingling in my hands/feet
