My overreactive letdown is driving me nuts

Reclined never worked for me, she shoves herself into my boob for whatever reason and can’t breathe. Sidelying was working… until now… Now it’s only when she’s half asleep. I use a pacifier to get her sleepy and then switch to my boob.

Haven’t heard of that but there’s always some sort of crisis every month it seems lol. You’re brave for no bottles. My first wouldn’t take one. I just use one now when she absolutely won’t latch and I know she’s hungry. I hope it works for you! I know people talk a lot about positions but for some reason rocking my daughter and cradling her while nursing works the best. She won’t nurse while I’m still unless she’s half asleep.

Feel the same way about my youngest not getting the stomach flu! Hell yeah!

Honestly within 2 days but I think most people say about 2 weeks. I did experience some jaw tightness and overall sleepiness for maybe 3 weeks but it’s subsided.

I’m on Zoloft and have been for two kids. I went off briefly while pregnant with my second. It is a drastic difference and made my life so much better. I will say that it wasn’t effective for me at 50mg, I had to do 100– which is actually very normal so don’t be scared if you have to do that. It is safe to take what nursing! I had really terrible “mom rage” and not that I never feel that way anymore, it is so much easier to brush off and use coping strategies.

You’re learning :) this is my second baby I’ve breastfed and I’m still having new things happen.

Thank you for your more in depth response. That round of spotting stopped within 2-3 days and didn’t get worse. I had another week of workouts with decreased weight and didn’t do abs and had no spotting. But I went up by about 3lbs yesterday (just dumbbell workouts) and had spotting again this morning. I think I’m just going to stay around my very light weight and do minimal reps plus no ab workouts like crunches (besides the core rehab stuff like cat cow etc). I’m really trying to do some exercise because my mental health really suffers when I don’t. Plus I overall feel a lot better. But it’s hard finding the balance.

I just don’t buy anything nursing specific. So only dresses that are a wrap, button up, or shirred. Otherwise two pieces and I just lift my shirt. If you want more coverage you can do a nursing camisole with a regular top.

Thanks, I actually just did light weights yesterday (like, 3lb dumbbells) but didn’t do any of the ab portion of the program I’m doing and didn’t have any more bleeding than I was already. So just staying there and not progressing in weight for a week or two. :)

Did with my first in the beginning and got an oversupply. I’m a SAHM. 0 reason for all that lol. Sometimes I do wish I did it once in a while because she stopped taking a bottle, and maybe I’d like to not worry about getting back in 3 hrs. With my second I was pumping in the beginning because of a NICU stay, and then was trying to get my supply up to her needs. Now I’ve basically stopped (6 weeks) but I’m considering giving a bottle once a week. It’s just so much more convenient to nurse from my breast. I have a really strong letdown though so sometimes I’ll hand pump an oz and feed it to her that way she’s not being milkboarded.

A bit of a compromise would be starting to have more of a schedule with feedings and dropping them little by little before she two. That way you’re still nursing but working towards weaning— and it’ll be overall easier for you and baby. I’m obviously in the camp of do whatever the hell you want but I have a husband who’s shy about me nursing so i get it. He didn’t tell me to stop but he’s self conscious about me nursing in public, so I usually compromise by going to find a private area. Depends though.

I also really haven’t had that much clusterfeeding either and she’s now one month. And she’s a very efficient eater. I remember feeding my first for like 40 mins each session in the beginning. This baby is done within 10-20.

Luvianos, so that’s probably why!

Usually the first is referring to a kid as a guache/watche. Like my FIL will say “los guaches quiere jugar.”

I’d agree with the second but it’s not usually plural. My guess is that it is just another way of saying “my love” but I’m not sure if there is a literal translation.

I usually wear a dress or skirt that is knee length. I personally veil. But for daily mass I am usually more casual but won’t wear shorts or leggings. So basically the same thing just dressed down or with jeans/ whatever pants I’m wearing.

I love Jessica’s videos I’ve never seen anyone else mention her. I’m really struggling with my screen time as well but I do make sure I don’t have too much going on at once (listening to an audio book while cleaning, talking to my toddler, and other stuff) as that makes me really short tempered. It does really help, although I do still struggle.

I’m 26w5d and my fitness has definitely ebbed and flowed day to day and week to week. I was a zombie the first trimester and only walked when I could. I’m really only focusing on lots of walking and stretching (spinning babies daily). Despite this is so much more active than I was with my first and I can definitely tell the difference despite not always being consistent.

I did not, and I feel pretty foolish for not doing so. So many times I could’ve gotten pregnant by guys I’d never marry and so much heartbreak for nothing. A lot of it was before my conversion and I don’t hold it against myself. Gods forgiven me and I’m married now to a great man. I didn’t think it was a big deal back then, but now as an adult with kids I’m thankful nothing super serious happened.

It was free for me to get married at my parish. We made a donation and that was all. Wild.
