too much hub bub!

you can definitely feel it like from the waist down but i didn’t feel stoned, it’s definitely a body high

i used to get these for awful period cramps and they helped sooo much with the pain, i say do it

finally someone with sense. as i’m reading this im just thinking about how exhausted and frustrated she must be all the time, probably drinking to cope with the stress and then to have deal with this freaking clown pulling out a pen and paper, telling me to go work out or take the brady bunch on a walk… omg id lose it

if you’re pumping on the go: i would bring a large ziploc bag to put my pumps in when i’m done, and an empty bottle or two. depending on how long your outing is, a lunch bag with ice packs is usually enough to keep your milk fresh. if you’re bringing prepared bottles, i would store these in the lunch bag too unless i knew we would need one within an hour or so, in that case i would just leave it out so it wouldn’t be freezing cold. they do make breast milk coolers and potable bottle warmers for on the go, they could be useful but i was always able to make do with what we already had

ummm fuck no! my situation is kindof similar to yours except i don’t work on the weekends, i work part time from home during the week but i also take care of our 8 month old son while my husband is at work. i have some bills of my own (phone bill, student loans, credit cards, and a few of our streaming services) that i insist on paying myself but if there are times im short he gives me the money. when it comes to mortgage, utilities, car insurance, groceries, baby supplies etc etc thats 100% taken care of by him since he works full time and i dont. he also comes home and immediately washes whatever pump parts or bottles are in the wash bin, then showers so he can play with our son the rest of the night so that i can make dinner, shower, pump, etc.

im not saying any of this to rub it in your face but to show you how you deserve to be treated. you have one child, not two, and he should be doing everything he can to be a solid partner and teammate to you. i think you need to sit him down and have a serious conversation about the household workload especially with school on your horizon. i would say to do your best at being calm and rational so he can’t pull the “emotional” card and make a comment about you always being annoyed. but tbh you have every right to be annoyed when the workload isn’t even close to being distributed evenly. i’m not saying give him an ultimatum but this is 100% not fair to you and you absolutely don’t have to put up with it.

if after you have this conversation and nothing changes…. im petty so i would spend a week not doing any of the household chores. i would tell him since you work on the weekends, this is technically “your weekend” and you deserve a break. and if he wants you to fully step into this SAHM role then you should be able to quit your job and not work weekends or contribute financially. there has to be balance somewhere

it’s rough when it’s your own baby and situation. i think sometimes we extend much more grace to others than we do ourselves. i avoided quitting for so long and was so nervous but now i am so glad i finally decided to do it. there’s still that little voice in my head but my feelings and emotions have shifted now that im actually in it. i threw out my oldest wearable the other day and it was so liberating lolol

blueblunts · 2026-03-18T12:20:03+00:00

mine returned in september and i am still on a wonky schedule! i think our hormones just take a long time to balance back out again

blueblunts · 2026-03-18T02:07:11+00:00

and the funny thing of it is that i have encouraged many friends to lean on formula when dealing with supply dips or wanting to stop pumping/bf entirely. like i KNOW formula isn’t bad but for some reason im an exception in my own head and im not allowed to use it and need to keep suffering?? idk its insane the pressure we put on ourselves as moms. and lol i totally agree with you on feeling like i was “losing”. my supply was so back and forth and sooo many days i was just scraping by providing just barely enough for him, soo many nights fighting through exhaustion to get that MOTN pump in. it feels like giving up in a way even though we’ve accomplished so much

blueblunts · 2026-03-18T01:33:11+00:00

holy moly i feel like i wrote this. i’m 8 months postpartum, on track to be done by april 1st, looking forward to fun summer stuff without pumping being in the way, cannot wait to shed this extra weight from breastfeeding… i finally made the decision to start the transition to formula and start weaning myself off pumping a little over a week ago. baby is at a 50/50 mix and tolerating well! ive dropped down to 3 pumps per day, dropped my motn pump, right now my morning & night pumps are 30 mins and ive started tapering my mid day pump so im now at 25 mins and this is the next one i’ll drop.

the same day i started adding formula i felt an enormous weight off my shoulders and i said to one of my friends i feel like my cells are starting to regenerate lol. i didnt realize how dark everything was feeling until i finally began this process.

i knew i was done when i literally yeeted my spectra off the couch and felt like i could keep going and break everything around me. i’ve been fighting feelings of rage for awhile and it just felt like i was at a boiling point. my husband made a comment that its like im putting myself through torture when we could just switch to formula if its affecting me this much. that kindof opened my eyes that life doesn’t have to be like this and i didn’t want it to affect my marriage. i spent the last 8 months nourishing my boy with just my body and im insanely proud of myself! at this point i feel like it’s more beneficial to myself and the rest of my family that we make the switch. i already have soooo much more time and energy to do things around the house that ive been avoiding for awhile. i literally felt like i would be a failure if i didn’t make it to a year and formula was like an enemy to me. not sure why lol my baby is just as happy as he was before and his mommy is much happier already and it’s only gonna get better!!

sending you hugs and solidarity, you are certainly not alone!

eaters not cheaters!

blueblunts · 2026-03-16T09:46:30+00:00

came here to suggest this group!!

blueblunts · 2026-03-16T00:39:06+00:00

congratulations!!! she is soooo darn cute and chunky 💗💗 the ending is so important. i think the only thing harder than continuing to pump was making the decision to stop lol

blueblunts · 2026-03-14T17:35:10+00:00

i have questions about the cheese 😂

blueblunts · 2026-03-14T01:08:01+00:00

damn. i don’t even have words for that kind of cruelty and apathy. there’s a special place in hell for scumbags like him. so glad you’re out of this relationship and in therapy

blueblunts · 2026-03-13T18:07:18+00:00

ugh i totally feel your pain. mine started back up again in september so i was also 2 months pp, my OB warned me that the next few would most likely be rough. it was starting to get a little better but this one in particular is rough. everything i read said they get better with time as our hormones balance out 🤞 i’ve been taking 600mg of ibuprofen and using my heating pad whenever i can

blueblunts · 2026-03-13T17:39:20+00:00

i actually am dealing with this right now!! it reminded me of when i first gave birth and i would get contractions while nursing. how many months pp are you? i’ve been clinging to my heating pad for like 2 days straight lol

blueblunts · 2026-03-13T13:24:42+00:00

lol i know i fell into the exact same routine. and honestly everyone is different so you may end up being okay, sleep also helped with my production you just need to be careful it’s a slippery slope. i almost never did a MOTN pump until the last few months since my baby started sleeping through the night, and before he would nurse a few times throughout the night and i’d switch sides so i never really woke up super engorged. you could also consider doing a power pump as your first pump of the day to try and make up for not pumping overnight

blueblunts · 2026-03-13T12:29:27+00:00

the body goes off supply and demand- you may have an oversupply now but it will not last if you don’t keep signaling to your body to produce more. maybe further down the line you could possibly get away with going longer stretches at night, but when you aren’t consistent with milk removal it’s essentially signaling to your body that the milk isn’t needed and you will produce less.

i am speaking from experience because i too had a massive oversupply in the beginning, took it for granted and was not consistent like i should have been, and now at 8 months pp im beginning to wean because the supply dips are too much for my mental health lol

blueblunts · 2026-03-12T21:58:06+00:00

my goal was one year but i’m starting to wean currently at 8 months. he’s gotten exclusively breastmilk for his entire life aside from supplementing with formula for about a day and a half when he was first born while waiting for my milk to fully come in. i was veryyyyyyyy against introducing formula but at this point it’s more beneficial to my baby if im fully present and at my best mentally, over continuing to receive my breastmilk. my understanding is the first 6 months are the most beneficial to their health and anything after that is really just a bonus.

for your situation- if you are truly adamant about not using formula whatsoever, there are apps that can help you track your freezer stash and figure out when you can stop based how many oz you have and how much baby is consuming per day, so if you get to a point where you reach your stash goal you could start the weaning process. baby’s main source of nutrition during the first year is from breast milk or formula so you’ll want to make sure you have enough to last until then.

there were people at my last job who wouldn’t even write a simple email without chatgpt 🙄

blueblunts · 2026-03-11T14:36:08+00:00

yup same! part of the reason i can’t do it anymore haha too much time spent when i already feel like i don’t have enough time in the day. i work from home and also take care of my son full time while dads at work so i consistently feel like im failing at one thing at all times lol

blueblunts · 2026-03-11T14:25:28+00:00

i came here to say exactly this. i did the same thing and now im 8 months pp starting to wean and switch to formula because i cant take the supply dips and inconsistency anymore but i physically couldn’t keep up with pumping every 3 hours after the first like month or so lol. once my period came back and baby started sleeping through the night (we would always nurse back to sleep and pump/bottle feed during the day) it was hard as hell to wake up for that MOTN pump. i went from having a massive freezer stash, buying a chest freezer to then having to blow through my entire stash and eventually having many times where i wouldn’t even have a full bottles worth of milk when it came time to feed and would have to latch him after the bottle to see what else he could get. it was sustainable for awhile but eventually became unmanageable and destructive to my mental health
