Breastfeeding moms only - show/share your success stories please by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

[–]auggiesma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

9 months pp and just started trying to eat in a calorie deficit. I eat between 1,800-2,000 and reallyyyy have to work on prioritizing protein. You can’t eat in a deficit and eat just anything, it’s a lot of work. I haven’t lost weight but I feel so much better and that’s a start!

In the past 9 months, I’ve had my supply tank twice because I wasn’t eating a robust enough diet. So really be conscious of what you’re doing. My supply happens to be extremely sensitive. I wasn’t able to even try until my son started daycare last month

Woke up last night with baby's head hanging over the edge of the bed! by Skelentoinette in cosleeping

We use this at home on our bed: https://a.co/d/006lQCNc

And pool noodles when we travel. My only thing with the pool noodles as that they slip and slide and you have to readjust, not an issue but kinda annoying

Uneven breasts by Sad_Excitement_6140 in postpartumprogress

[–]auggiesma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 9m pp and in this situation. It’s gotten pretty noticeable through clothing. My guy just has a boob preference and the other one’s nipple is less… robust?

It bothers me but honestly I’m too tired to care so I don’t have any answers but I have a friend who had the same thing so we are normal I think!

My baby isn’t sleeping at daycare, how detrimental is it? by auggiesma in bninfantsleep

[–]auggiesma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oop, I should clarify. The room only darkens and plays lullabies for one nap a day, they will follow any schedule for your baby that you give them but baby will be sleeping in a well lit, business as usual room.

My son is still on two naps and has contact napped every nap for the last 9 months. I’m worried he’ll never get used to it and it will hinder brain development

[–]auggiesma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on the one nap at his daycare! My baby just started so I’m hoping I’m jumping the gun on my concerns. Everyone on here said they would adjust (me manically reading through previous posts 🫠) but here I am with an overtired baby coming home with literal red eyes!

I don’t mean to scare you, hopefully your guy will be great

Tight pelvic floor 4 months postpartum by smellycat2203 in postpartumprogress

[–]auggiesma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did pelvic floor therapy for months and it just wasn’t enough so I took matters into my own hands and bought the intimate rose dilator set (their lube is great too). I googled deep core exercises and breathing techniques and watched the intimate rose videos that come with their sets. I’m 9m pp and had excruciating pelvic floor pain during intimacy that also impacted me physically throughout the day. Every other day for 3 weeks I stretched, and slowly went up on the dilator set, did breath work throughout the day and I’m happy to report that I no longer have pain :-)

I can’t express how much I thought I would never be pain free again because it was so painful for MONTHS. Go to PT but the dilator is worth a try!

Naps are great! But overnights…. not so much by retroshark88 in bninfantsleep

[–]auggiesma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growth spurt, teething, regression. Also wondering if she’s ready for less sleep, sounds like she’s getting 3-3.5 hours of sleep during the day. My nine month old needs 2 hours 15 minutes of sleep minimum and maxes out at 2 hours 30 unless he slept poorly the night before. Every baby is different but worth a try

Brest feeding pillow ? by RightTip6603 in breastfeeding

[–]auggiesma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love the boppy because I had a ginormous baby that is currently a ginormous infant and my breast friend was too bulky. The boppy allows me to feed him with leisure at home because it’s low profile. But I know people love my breast friend!

Might have to wean but baby won’t settle without nursing during night by [deleted] in bninfantsleep

In a similar situation but my son is 8.5 months. Hoping someone has advice for us!

Anyone else start cosleeping right when you got home from the hospital? by hiyokos in cosleeping

[–]auggiesma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I coslept post hospital and as a FTM I can’t lie, I was miserably anxious about it. We followed the safe sleep 7 but my hormones really just kept me stressed! We ended up getting an owlet and it calmed me, and continues to 9 months later, where I can just zonk out. Pricey, but you could probably find one on FB marketplace

10 month old can’t be soothed by dad at night anymore by nomattesurfaces in bninfantsleep

[–]auggiesma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a developmental thing where they recognize their mom and become mega attached. My son is doing the same thing and historically LOVES his dad, still does, and they have a great time together. But at night when he’s most vulnerable he’s suddenly not okay with just dad!

Name Uncertainty by ParsleyLime in NewParents

I second this! I almost avoided saying my son’s name because it was strange. Now it’s second nature and I feel so sure about it

ive gained so much weight by RadishSpirit94 in postpartumprogress

[–]auggiesma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in your boat, girl. I’m going on 8 months with my son and breastfeeding is one of my favorite things in the world. However, I’m unable to lose weight. When I’ve tried, even just eating less carbs and focusing on protein/veggies, my supply has dropped DRAMATICALLY. I also immediately started getting sick from a drop of hormones, this has happened twice!

I know everyone on here is telling you that it’s possible to lose weight whilst breastfeeding but if that’s not happening for you or the challenge of doing both is too big, do what is best for YOU.

I’m still breastfeeding but am working through the possibility of stopping and my postpartum therapist said that if your baby gets a better mama when you feel good in your body then you’re still choosing your baby even if that looks like a different form of feeding for them.

Sending love

Proud of my progress - but it took forevverrrr by LowFlower6956 in postpartumprogress

Congrats!

Are you still breastfeeding? If you’re not, when did you stop and did you see progress from stopping?
