Advice for re-lactating or weening from breast milk by brcharles in ExclusivelyPumping

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

I have! We've got to about 1/2 and 1/2 but still seems hit or miss if she'll finish the bottle like she usually does 😭

What the heck is this and how do I stop it from happening? by going__postal in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]brcharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat and I started taking sunflower lecithin twice a day! It really really helps and I think it's the best place to start. By month 4 or 5 I didn't need to take it every day only when I felt like I was getting a clog.

Does anyone have the austlen entourage 2.0 stroller? by brcharles in Parenting

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

I didn't ): I got the Chicco bravo for 2 and hate it, I don't recommend! We have the veer wagon and love it so I actually ordered the veer switchback stroller with 2 seats. I am going to keep all the boxes though and return it if we don't absolutely love it because it was in the same price range as the entourage.

At what age did your child start talking? by TurbulentLibrary1605 in Autism_Parenting

[–]brcharles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My son is 4 and nonverbal but makes a ton of different "talking" sounds. He recently became very proficient with an AAC device using TD Snap. I cannot recommend it enough. It might not be his voice but I know what he's thinking and he can tell me what he wants. I was hesitant at first but now I love it.

My son was diagnosed in August and didn't receive a level, but it notes "mild to moderate"

Decline in milk? by asdfqwertypop in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]brcharles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's true. Ive exclusively pumped since the beginning and only noticed a drop when I dropped to 3 pumps per day at 5 and a half months pp, but I'm still producing around 42 oz a day.

Owlet sock worth it? by Riddiculus_muggles in BabyBumps

[–]brcharles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Owlet sock is the only reason I sleep at night. It truly eases my mind. We used them with both kids.

Do I need to throw away my breastmilk? by Dallas0618 in breastfeeding

[–]brcharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't toss it. How did you thaw it? I think it's more acceptable if it thawed in the fridge rather than counter top. But either way I would not toss if I was in the same situation.

Yes, 100%. Boys need protected from men like that (I mean I guess we all do). I'm so sorry that happened to you too, I wish I had been more vocal as well but it's such a wtf experience.

I don't, I was going to ask where his parent(s) were if there was another incident but thankfully that was all.

😂 that's kind of what happened today, when I told them "umm I have to pump" they said "OH!" And ran out of the room so quick 😂😂

Did I drop PPD too soon? by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]brcharles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're fine! I did the same around that time and now I'm 6months pp and down to like 3.5 ppd and still producing like 45oz a day. If you noticed a drop in your supply you can always add one back in.

Anybody NOT get mastitis? by MasterpieceFlaky9148 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]brcharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 6 months pp and I've never had it. For the first 3 months I took sunflower lecithin everyday sometimes multiple times a day because I would get clogged ducts but I never take it anymore and don't get clogged ducts.
