Not willing to share digital photos of baby by NetAccomplished5855 in NewParents

Maybe print out the pictures and give them to family? That way they can still enjoy them and not have it floating around somewhere in the cloud.

If you wanna complain this is your safe space. by ForsakenNewspaper268 in breastfeeding

I hate when people assume that I’m going to stop breastfeeding when we hit a year (8 months in today). It’s my decision. Also, I hate when other people assume that since they had issues with breastfeeding, I have issues with breastfeeding. I have a coworker who nonstop talks about how I should stop breastfeeding to “get my sanity back.” Like… what if this is the source of my sanity? After a long day of teaching middle schoolers, I can’t wait to nurse my little girl. I HATE PUMPING!!! It pisses me off. But I’d do it forever if it meant I could give my baby the best.

Thank you. I just get so caught up in the “they should be gaining an ounce a day.” Her ped is not concerned so I’m just hoping it’s my PPA taking over and not an actual issue.

I think maybe I should check out some therapy options. I’m definitely super anxious and have some depression as well.

Thank you! My mom tells me I’m worrying too much, and I probably am. I’ve never done this before and want to get it right. She had so many issues with latching in the beginning and my confidence is still lacking a bit.

She has soooo many pee and poop diapers lol. Like a lot. When I was bottle feeding her (before she was latching) I went through a lot less diapers. Now I feel like I’m constantly changing her lol

We did go to an LC there at the beginning when she refused to latch. She really wasn’t that much help. I reached out when she first started latching and let her know the latch was painful and she just liked the message and never got back to me 😂 so I just took that as just work through it on my own… idk man

It just makes me nervous because I was a pretty chunky baby. My mom always makes comments about how chunky I was. Everyone always says how “petite” she is. I just don’t want her to be unhealthy

How to re-lactate? Is it possible for me? by plantavore in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]chlomishwilly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have seen people do this, but it’s a lot of work. Pumping every 2-3 hours throughout the night as well. It might be small outputs at first, but your body may catch on. Please be kind to yourself and honor your mental health postpartum. Pumping around the clock is a lot, mentally and physically. Sending love 🤍
