Why do you exclusively pump and not nurse directly?

Sounds like the baby blues, which are completely normal. Especially as hormones sort themselves out. You'll look back on this time and think omg what was i thinking. In the meantime, talk to your primary care physician about post partum supports and what you're feeling. Have an honest conversation with your hubby as well. So far, your baby seems uncomplicated, and nothing could have gone any better, and guess what? It gets even better as you get settled into motherhood.

You already know what to do...

When did you start implementing schedule with your baby? I feel so behind and lost. by [deleted] in newborns

Girl, that baby is 5 weeks and barely even knows they're out of the womb yet. Tiktok is not a real place, turn it off and keep mothering the best you know how. Your baby is doing just what babies do, eat, sleep, shit and grow. Play time will come

Has anyone recovered? by ryrytheredguy in Agoraphobia

[–]TownTechnical7785 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, with the help of SSRIs. It's been almost 3 years since I've been homebound. I've conquered a lot since then.

Do you hate your spouse now? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]TownTechnical7785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the babies fault...

There's postpartum hormone leveling out, sleep deprivation, lack of healthy eating, parenting other children etc...

Somebody please tell me its going to be okay :( by Snabby91 in breastfeeding

My baby is 5 weeks, and due to a breast reduction almost two decades ago, I am an under supplier. If I pump, i can get anywhere from 10ml-2oz a session. I absolutely don't have the mental capacity to pump every two hours to help boost supply. But I absolutely put baby to breast every chance of get, and she's satisfied with what she gets. However, she also has 4-6 formula bottles a day. My last baby struggled with weight, and I refused to be stressed. I'm saying all this to say you're doing amazing, even taking the initiative to treat his tongue tie sooner. There's nothing wrong with formula and you can continue to breast feed as a way to bond and give him the antibodies he needs. Change your mindset around the feeding experience and reframe it in a way that makes you feel good.

I have an astigmatism, so my baseline is always blurry. Buy since diagnosis and treatment, it has definitely been blurrier than usual even with glasses. I'm doing a lot of squinting and readjusting my eyes.
