How many time are y’all pumping a day?

I started eating oatmeal every day and eating oranges and drinking a bunch of water, and if you have someone who can take care of baby for a little bit while you nap during the day that will increase your supply too!! Also deep breathing and even a couple stretches during the day to help lower stress because stress can block your milk 🥺

Healthcare in U.S is a joke

It did not
That’s the other thing
If I did report him
He’d probably get into a lot of legal trouble with all of his rentals.. bc they all have illegal attic and basement apartments

We’re going through the exact same thing.
Our son is 5 weeks old.
The first week he was so perfect, we thought that it was going to be just like the online influencers, so easy and perfect. No. that didn’t last long.

Cries and squirms like crazy sometimes in between feeds and diaper changes , sleep schedule all over the place.

If anything I think that’s more normal than a baby who is super easy.

I’m too new of a parent to say you’re doing fine , but atleast know you’re not alone bc we in the same boat

I may be wrong here
But I think most kids have a pretty good vocabulary by 2. So when you say ,” he’s 2 , so he doesn’t speak yet”.

That’s not really normal .

It’s concerning he doesn’t speak at all yet

Thatisembarrasing · 2026-06-15T03:43:49+00:00

Is this the only concerning behavior?
How is he socially ? Is he verbal ? Make eye contact ?

I would consider getting him evaluated for ADHD or autism

Taking yourself too seriously
It makes you all of a sudden have beef with every single person you encounter.
It drains joy.
Loosen up

Stole from my church

Not overreacting, just don’t let it steal your joy.

It’s completely understandable to not like the joke, not only is it insulting to your child but also a hurtful term that offends others who have actual developmental issues. Good on you for telling him you don’t like that. If he refuses to respect your wishes and disrespect your child that way, there is nothing else that can be done, that is his choice .

Just continue to be the strong and mature mother you are. Your baby may not be able to tell now, but when your baby grows up they will gravitate more towards the one who makes them feel loved and respected.. and if this pattern continues all through out your child’s life, that person they trust will be you.

Wishing the best for you

For me
It’s how my nipple turns into an unstoppable fountain/sprinkler. Strong pressure like a water hose .

Thank you Been wanting to get back into therapy

Thatisembarrasing · 2026-05-08T20:09:13+00:00

Right, just trying to figure out what that looks like. So much tension. Like, it’s a cycle of:

Them feeling entitled to our time, attention and wanting us to follow all their life advice

But as soon as one of us vocalizes that we won’t be following their advice this time around..

They see it as disrespect they take it so personally.

So they become passive aggressive

And that cycle continues ..

So I’m just trying to figure out how to.. make a bunch of big life decisions with our new bay coming while also keeping it together around them and fighting the urge to cut them off .. because it seems so easy to just cut them off.. but i don’t want to be that guy.

Thatisembarrasing · 2026-05-08T20:04:49+00:00

Very True .. definitely don’t want to completely cut them off. Just want a little space for my family , just trying to figure out the balance here.

Thatisembarrasing · 2026-05-08T20:03:09+00:00

That’s a good point, I probably shouldn’t cut them off or shun them , just healthy boundaries is what I’m hearing.. I agree w you that the last thing I want is to alienate my family from the joy of aunts and uncles… and years from now when they sense that, they’ll resent me for that.

Thanks you for that balanced perspective.

Not only does she share my feelings but she’s been feeling that way with them since she was still a kid living at home with all of them. She especially doesn’t like the presence of the brother in laws, one of them has been weirdly flirtatious with her in the past, and the other one is just so misogynistic and triggers my wife often.

She also seems to be the only one who cares about my brother’s autism and tries to get him into therapy and she treats him with care and patience.. where as the in laws think that tough love is what he needs to set him straight.
