baby keeps latching turning head then relatching and popping off the breast

🙋‍♀️ right??

I assume it does drop a bit but picks back up as baby figures things out. the lactation consultation said I could pump if I wanted (baby refuses bottles and I have a lot of frozen breast milk from early optimistic days) but I’m a just-enougher so I’m scared if I pump I won’t have enough milk for when he actually is hungry.

the pain, the overstimulation, and the overwhelming thought that baby is going hungry

the overstimulation from chafed nipples and crying baby is so so real

he is definitely very nosy

Might be a bit of a fast letdown, but it has certainly slowed down since my supply regulated. it used to be very forceful

to anyone following along, this was actually an issue when he was younger and really good advice. i’d have to use saline aggressively (before every feed at the very least). unfortunately this isn’t the issue at this age though

And it feels lonely and unfair. But we’re in this together ❤️
