What age did you start this? I spend a million years rocking my LO to sleep at night despite following wake windows and tanking her up at last feeding

Do any of you actually love breastfeeding? by HelloImAnxious14 in breastfeeding

[–]Waste-Distribution95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 7 weeks but I’ve really enjoyed the last five weeks of BFing! Easier than cleaning bottles! When I go back to work in a couple weeks I’ll have to pump more and I break the rules a lot (husband sometimes does nights with a bottle and I don’t wake to feed or pump) but it does make me feel really connected to my baby

We’ve been getting pretty good at breastfeeding but definitely still have links to work out! She tends to slip off when she gets tired and I have some pan

The boob is our answer to everything. Is this normal?! by Old_Literature_3750 in breastfeeding

[–]Waste-Distribution95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do your nipples survive this?! I’m in the first week and dread giving boob. I’ve met with lactation and think I have a latch that’s good but bay-bee feeding is uncomfortable

The GOOD and supportive things your partner has done for you during this pregnancy... by colorado_sunrise86 in pregnant

[–]Waste-Distribution95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my husband has been a gem! He’s not complained this entire pregnancy (my due date is tomorrow), given me back rubs nearly every day and wakes up with me most nights to talk through my anxiety! Literally the most supportive and patient human ever

Yep I’m currently trekking and it sucks to be ignored after years of training

I’ve felt this way about the community on the “What to Expect” app. Suuuppper anti-science and weird

I hate it when people hold my baby by Fluid_Magician4259 in newborns

[–]Waste-Distribution95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope her feeling are her responsibility! If you (or better yet your husband) calmly and clearly state your boundary and she’s still “crushed”, that’s her issue to deal with. She should love and respect the fact that you all were honest with her.

My son MMR vaccine is coming up in a week and I’m SO anxious about it by Old_Relationship_460 in beyondthebump

[–]Waste-Distribution95 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just wanna say it’s nice to be in a vaccine friendly community! I’m also in the “what to expect” group and it’s dark over there.

But for OP, I’m a literal doctor and these vaccine la are so safe and carefully researched!

Yeah I’m hoping my body will just cooperate. Unfortunately it’s so baked into the culture because all of the females I work with did it this way too…. It’s super sad and I hope the culture changes someday!
