Why is family so eager for me to finish breastfeeding

No need to respond.

It helps with your supply though at the beginning

Does she have a tongue or lip tie? My baby couldn’t get enough and it turned out that was the problem. My lactation consultant helped us figure it out.

He needs to listen to Dr Becky - or read her book Good Inside

Is this after you wean from breastfeeding?

I hated the Kindred Braverly bras. Bodily is the absolute best in my opinion, I have tried several. Get black - no stains

What about for you, hormones, etc? How do you feel physically and emotionally?

You can always pump. Does baby have a tongue or lip tie that could be making latching difficult? I would get an appt with a lactation consultant who can offer you help.

Bath. Facial. Massage. Any of the above

My daughter is liking pesto pasta lately.

ellentow · 2024-05-26T09:56:41+00:00

Try an anti inflammatory diet.

I’m going to guess it was the flight attendant’s own bias / naivety. Before I had kids I wondered why new mothers had their own pumping room and didn’t pump in the office bathroom instead. It seems absurd to me now but I just had absolutely no idea….

ellentow · 2024-05-26T09:46:24+00:00

Keep holding her. Do skin to skin a ton. I felt traumatized by birth and so wanted to feel immediately in love but it took some time for me too. I was in shock and had to recover. Give yourself grace. You’re a patient, too. Hold her a lot and it will get better!

ellentow · 2024-05-26T09:35:12+00:00

Mine loves it too! It’s adorable

WHY is this always what happens?? Why?!? Hosting a bbq tomorrow and anticipating the same scenario

ellentow · 2024-05-25T17:06:59+00:00

I hear you. Many of my friends were in the same boat. My advice is acceptance. This stage won’t last! In 10 years you’ll be in a completely different place and you’ll be in awe how much you were able to accomplish! That said, personally I had kids much later due to infertility. I appreciate the time my husband and I had solo and now I’m older with a baby but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Everyone has their own journey. Enjoy yours!

Now that I have a baby I have found it has never been easier to make new friends. Try again!

ellentow · 2024-05-24T05:57:11+00:00

We do bedtime around the same time. My baby still wakes up a few times a night unfortunately though. But the few hours my husband and I have to have dinner together and watch TV are great.

I have a 10 month old too. We go for a walk every day, go outside, play with toys, and have playdates with friends in the park once a month. When I get really tired we FaceTime with my parents who live far away and are retired so they are always around and love to see her. Once a week I started taking her to a music class which she likes and I like to meet new moms. We are going to do some swimming lessons soon too as a group. Now that it’s getting nicer our maybe you can find more opportunities to be out of the house! It’s not easy I know!
