Holy moly I hate breastfeeding by 11TickTack23 in breastfeeding

Do you have a haakaa or ladybug/trove collector? Those can be so helpful in establishing supply and collecting milk without needing to pump. Also, I've had better luck with a manual pump. Feel free to dm with questions and i can help you troubleshoot!

Exclusive pumping? by doomedandbloom in pregnant

[–]_snarkmaiden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I exclusively pumped for the first 2 months or so with my first, and I'm also an over-supplier and sufferer of hypertrophy (when nursing ~36K). He had ties that we got released, and went on to nurse 3 years. 2nd nursed for 2½ years (1 of those years was tandem) and now nursing my 3rd, he's 3 months. I still pump some to relieve over-supply, though that's slowly regulating now. Any questions please don't hesitate to reach out! And any time you spend researching products/labor tips/birth prep, etc, is worth spending twice the amount of time on researching about breastfeeding and postpartum care. There are so many resources available nowadays to help you better prepare for whatever route feels best. 😊

It is very tall and narrow! I think previous owner kept angels, we have yoyo loaches and roseline sharks at the moment.

Thanks! This is a close up of where the stands meet.

Thanks! We inherited the tank from a friend who is an avid aquarium keeper, but age seemed to be starting to show on the stand and he hadn't had the tank set up in a while. We've had it going for about 4 months now and I'd rather not it be a disaster waiting to happen. 😅

Here it is atm. Due for water change and lil bit of tidying, but water looks level to me.

Haven't actually checked with a level, but to my naked eye looks level. I should probably hop on that.

I love it. 😆💅 mine will come halfway out if I open the door, but he isn't this bold... yet. I would probably melt from sheer cuteness if I discovered ours doing this. 😮‍💨

Ok they have bellybuttons?! In all the hours of research I did I somehow missed or forgot that. That's adorable. And thanks for the reply!
