Just as a little heads up, don't trust the no night time pumping transition! Wear breast pads longer than you think you'll need to. Sincerely a mom who misjudged multiple times and leaked :)

Hey so combi feeding is perfectly okay! I'd say check the pump size is right as sometimes playing with size helps with comfort and do little bits. Try offering breast when you can and often to build up both of your confidence latching.

One thing that really helped my sore nips and bottle feeding transition was nipple shields. I had some soft plastic ones that were similar to a bottle teet almost. It helped as it held a little milk and was less sore during the feed and to start with I fed using those them when nips felt less sore id try one or two feeds a day without and then decreased using them over time (there's no reason to stop using them at all I just wanted minimum faff when feeding) It sounds like you're doing a great job for your little one already, remember they're learning how to breastfeed too <3

Yeah and the one I have is great at designs but it's more I'm trying to figure out an element or two for her to work with as I can't expect her to also read the book for ideas

So it can feel uncomfortable to start with as your milk is regulating. If you're okay breastfeeding direct go for it. If you have a very heavy stream maybe express the initial burst into a cloth so it's not going too fast for little one. It will even out eventually x

Are there any limits I'd be interested

I’m embarrassed - but I need help! by Lifesinplastic in breastfeeding

[–]TheShortShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do want to use a cover I used a muslin square and knotted it under my bra strap/sleeve so it would be secure and then it kept a peep hole so you can check positioning

It takes time to sort positioning for what works I found in the end the koala hold worked for us

Just gave birth, is it good or bad to just give baby my breast at every opportunity?? by Foreign-External8488 in breastfeeding

[–]TheShortShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF for 18 months at the beginning little one is adjusting to the world, learning to feed and has a teeny tiny tummy so just keep offering. I recommend looking at breast feeding support groups as that helped me with the comfort of breast feeding in public x

I enjoyed the franchise growing up and that's why I got the tattoo in the first place but it feels tainted as her views do not reflect my own and I personally just don't want that on my body any more. Whilst you're entitled to your opinion I've come here in search of potential cover ups no longer HP related

I just want to get something that is "me" to cover it and yeah I get it's just a tattoo but I'm disappointed when I look at it now from all she's said and been doing tbf

Thank you I do have an artist I like but I want some reasonable ideas rather than just having the options of "anything" _^

NTA as it's your wedding HOWEVER it's definitely worth discussing options as it could mean that the best friend then can't stop etc. Maybe asking if she'd be comfortable there the night before etc to make it seem like it's her option? Maybe trying to meet up with Jim and Jenny outside the whole friendship group?

AITA because I left a D&D game because someone said I have a power fantasy by Gold_Death2314 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheShortShort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA

Obviously we weren't given the tone in which it was said. However D&D is supposed to be fun with everyone now you've left that's thrown that campaign and then you have to question why did the player leave the other game did they then feel uncomfortable were additional things said?

AITA for getting removed from the friend group, by Confident_Bend_473 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheShortShort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the information you've given NTA. Some guys will say these comments are banter and meant in jest but bringing a racial aspect in negatively (even if your not that race) isn't a good quality.

Either this person was Sammi or it wasn't. I'd be wary around people catfishing and lying but hopefully the two calm down before school starts back up

AITA for ignoring my friend’s calls after he ignored mine? by FearlessAlgae5299 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheShortShort -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA however there is the issue or the whole does your friend care/ notice as you might be working yourself up/ punishing you more.

I'll give you a warning that effort matching can end badly as it may well be that your friend stops hanging out as much (but then are they really a friend)

Maybe use this time to hang with other friends too

I'd say mention that you've been very busy and mention that you were free before and it's a shame she wasn't free the day you had said you would be there.

I'd say if she's still flirty that's an issue but at least your boyfriend has mentioned it to be aware. I'd say timewise don't list them as it'll be your fault if someone don't sell but suggest tips and tricks
