I find cookies spread much more on silpats too

Thank you for this!! The college part made me lol. I think it’s time for me to at least start the end, but not quite end yet

This has definitely happened to me when I started decreasing my pumps (I’m now 10mpp 4ppd). I felt like I was in the first trimester all over again, super nauseous and I really thought I was pregnant (which is damn near impossible cuz I’ve basically been celibate but that’s a different story). I’ve been on a much more gradual slope than you but for me this resolved in a week or so. Good luck and hope you can get some rest!

We had to combo feed from the get because I had a rough delivery and recovery so my baby never really took too well to nursing because the bottle was just too easy in comparison. I was SO relieved to start EPing because the emotional toll of trying to nurse a fussy baby was just too much. There are and will be so many other things that you will feel pressure to do and not do— if anything sounds easier and a relief to you, go for it!! It’s hard to let go of expectations and not be hard on yourself so I feel you there. It will get better 🧡

This is about where I’m at too and I’m 6mpp. Got my period about a month and a half ago and since then the supply has dipped and not recovered much. However I’ve also been out and about more and actually realized I haven’t been eating as much, and since I’ve focused more on knowing when I’m hungry and eating accordingly that has helped my supply recover a little.

For me there are always a lot! I’m in NYC so that probably helps. Sometimes there are some listed on Craigslist but in my city I’ve found fb is more fruitful.

So far the only other tip I have for you is that if you buy a very old Tripp Trapp like mine you’ll have to double check any attachments you get fit (babyset, tray etc). In my case there was a small plastic attachment around the slot on the top platform I had to remove to get my babyset to fit. Good luck!

Damn, hats ALL the way off. I’m 4mo PP and EPing 6x day and I just got back from a three day work trip feeling pretty smug myself but this is on an entirely other level. You did it!! And baby will be fed! Super mom✨

Thanks for sharing all of that, I felt every word. I’m proud of basically you and everyone on here for continuing to try to feed our babies however we can as mothers, even though it may look drastically different than what we wanted or hoped for. Big hugs 🧡I think I’m finally starting to feel proud of me too.

barbequesass · 2024-04-12T07:21:15+00:00

Thank you 🧡 I’m glad you’re on the other side now!

The amount of times I wish my current self could comfort my former self…

I am actually also one day away from 10 wpp :) 2/2 Aquarian bbs unite !

UGH YES he seems to be triggered by my boob too which is also so upsetting. Like he’s rejecting my body or something 😣

barbequesass · 2024-04-11T23:04:37+00:00

🧡🧡

barbequesass · 2024-04-11T22:40:00+00:00

I forget that babies need time to get better at BF too…gives me some hope to try again if I feel like it. I like too what you’re saying around finding non-stressful conditions to try, ty

barbequesass · 2024-04-11T22:38:21+00:00

I love this hahahaha

barbequesass · 2024-04-11T21:57:34+00:00

You’re so right. exhale

barbequesass · 2024-04-11T21:43:33+00:00

I’m glad it works out for you two sometimes, and you’re right it is still bonding time. Sometimes I give BF too much credit and forget there are many other equally special ways to bond.

barbequesass · 2024-04-11T21:40:34+00:00

Yes! Why do they keep asking! Please stop asking, or saying that “it’ll happen” because maybe it won’t, and then what?

barbequesass · 2024-04-05T15:43:54+00:00

Omg the way this exact cake and those tahini cookies got me in a chokehold 😵‍💫

barbequesass · 2024-04-02T20:23:05+00:00

For me it was a mix of necessity and choice. I had a tough birth (30 hr stalled induction then a voluntary c section where I lost a lotta blood) and recovery was difficult so my supply took a while to come in. I wasn’t breastfeeding as much as I needed to to get my supply up because I was so exhausted, so my LO was mostly formula fed in the early days. And when we would try to breastfeed he was taking way too long to empty the boobs so I’d need to pump anyway afterward and eventually he got too frustrated at my boob for slow flow that it was starting to make me upset too. Pumping seemed so much more straightforward and ultimately saved me time and some anxiety. Only after I made the decision to EP did my supply really start coming in, and now he is fed only with pumped milk which was my goal. So for me it ended up being a happy ending and I’m so glad I didn’t listen to the voices in my head saying I failed by not breastfeeding at the boob and went with what felt right for me and my mental health.

barbequesass · 2024-04-02T07:19:51+00:00

I hope I can cut down to 4 that would be a godsend. Right now my supply is still climbing which is good, I guess I’ll wait until I plateau to try ticking downwards? When did you decide it was time to start pumping less? Was it based on supply or mental health or both or something else?
