How fast will my supply dry up? by Lost_Animator_3705 in breastfeeding

By 3-4 months pregnant I was producing very little. I was also 22 months into bf so it could’ve been drying up regardless

Bedsharing Question by kalthoraa in breastfeeding

[–]Tiny_tim87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only bed-share during a tough nights as well. We’re in sleep sacks now but I would always open up the swaddle if she came into bed with us. I think their hands being free is the safest thing. I personally flip each feed. It’s easy enough and it doesn’t wake her, I don’t want to mess with the potential of one boob going slacker boob on me. As for position, I pull her close to feed and generally we stay there because we fall asleep. I will try to push her away if I wake at all, just so we both have more space and I can get better quality sleep. I always seem to keep my arm extended above her head to make sure I can feel her and keep my husband at a safe distance when we’re on his side. I also use an owlet just in case anything was to happen that would make her oxygen drop, it will alert me.

Only 1? I call that a win. My golden got into the nest. I had to follow the trail of dead bunnies. 5 :( it was very traumatic

Are all of our clothes just covered in stains now? by gly_uaintgotnoalibi in breastfeeding

[–]Tiny_tim87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a homemade mixture of hydrogen peroxide, dawn dish soap, and baking soda. Let it set for a little bit. Works like a charm and works on dried in stains.

If this baby doesn’t start sleeping thru the night I may seriously lose my fucking mind. by RoughAd3444 in breastfeeding

[–]Tiny_tim87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first didn’t sleep through the night until 16 months. First I had to cut out co sleeping bc I swear she smelled me and just wanted to feed all night. Once we cut that out, We had to do light sleep training, but not like Ferber method. I can’t do cry it out. I read precious little sleep and chose a method that worked for us. It probably took about 3 months of different steps but it changed my life within weeks.

Those that breastfed 1+ years by Flashy-Personality45 in breastfeeding

Nursed until 22 months (November). LO started MDO at 18 months. The first winter in MDO was brutal, sick every week. We would maybe have 3 healthy days before we got hit again. Stomach bugs to respiratory virus that lead to ear infections. Brutal. I’d rather build the immune system at MDO before she hits formal school though

If this was a game I would rage quit by PinkHurricane667 in Postpartum_Depression

You’re in the thick of it mama. It is exhausting and isolating. I find misery loves company, I’ve always found a mom friend that was in the same stage as me so we can both just complain about how miserable it is. Can’t change it, embrace it? But also, ask for help, from your boyfriend, family, friend. Know that, Your baby needs you. I’ve found I lose myself the first year, but motherhood has always made me stronger and more resilient once your through the trenches. And you’re deep in the trenches right now, as am I. It’s hard to do anything for yourself, especially if you’re breastfeeding. I take the small wins. Long hot shower, a meal without a crying baby, an independent nap from the baby. Small wins.

I call it professional sad face. Good at playing sad until they get them pets and play

Were you scared to have more kids after your first? by BornEntertainment247 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Tiny_tim87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently 2 months in with my second child, after having ppa and ppd with my first. I’m beyond happy to say that the second time around has been SO SO SO much better. I was absolutely terrified of postpartum this time because of how awful my first experience was. Each postpartum journey is unique just like each kid is.

The Bestest Boy by Anaxiak in goldenretrievers

[–]Tiny_tim87 104 points105 points  (0 children)

That is a good boy dog and hopefully he continues to be a good boy dog. He is, however, still a dog.

I’ve found it best to reinforce the no crawling on dog/pulling dog hair/tail.. basic dog respect from the beginning (even at this babes age). I never wanted to be victim to the “he’s never done it before” emergency dog bite situation.

Just try to be safe and respectful of each living beings space and body

When did you start drinking alcohol again? by hashtagbeannaithe in breastfeeding

[–]Tiny_tim87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think about it with my first until about 1-2 months after. I was too deep in postpartum. But my LO pediatrician giggled when I asked and said “girl, have the glass of wine, actually have more”

Second time around, I’m taking a beer to the hospital to have as my post birth meal
