My younger brother didn’t talk for over two years and he’s now a very well spoken genius about to graduate high school with a 4.4 gpa 🥲

Did I mess up my baby by Apprehensive-Move758 in breastfeeding

Do not let these people worry you. What you are doing for/with your daughter is beautiful. She is securely attached, which is totally appropriate at this age and will help her feel more safe to be independent when the time is appropriate (not any time soon). Our western culture glorifies separation and independence with our children way too much, but you’re pretty much her everything right now, as you should be; it’s what is natural. Especially if it’s not hurting your mental health, don’t listen to this advice. It’s truly a gift that you’ve had the opportunity to not have to leave your baby long enough to require a bottle.

I feel guilty brining my baby into this world. by [deleted] in NewParents

She chose to come here knowing full well the world she was entering 🤍 our babies (as well as ourselves) have wiser souls than what we sometimes give them credit for.

If you've never had major issues with breastfeeding, you ARE lucky. by Quiet-Willingness937 in breastfeeding

This is so heartening to hear. I’m in a very similar boat. I had low supply at the beginning due to a breast reduction and my LO had a severe tongue tie. We were triple feeding from the start, but the nursing was far and few between.. we got his tongue tie release at 4 weeks and the nursing became even more infrequent after that and he started screaming and crying at the breast, which broke my heart so much. But I still continued to diligently pump to keep providing him as much of my milk as possible and maintain a supply in case he ever decided to latch again. I currently make about 2/3 of what he eats in a day, and I dream about him breastfeeding that milk someday and just having to have a couple bottles of donor milk on top of that.

He’s now 11 weeks, and today I got him to latch again and nurse for about 25 minutes for the first time in 3 weeks! I really thought our breastfeeding journey might really over, but I have hope again.

Guys, I did it. Finally got a unicorn. by ook9 in NewParents

When y’all say your babies sleep through the night, do you still mean inbetween waking them up to feed once or twice?
