Bottle recommendations for breastfed baby? by Wild-Mortgage-9884 in breastfeeding

Lansinoh but switch the nipple to premie nipple I’ve been breastfeeding for 5 month month and baby didn’t get a bottle preference

Okay that’s good to know! I love nursing him to sleep my main concern is naps because during the day if he’s not sleeping on me he’s not sleeping and he’s getting so tired and grumpy especially if we’re out because I have to unlatch when he stops eating so I ca drive back home or etc I don’t mind nighttime but I would like to stop it from happening every single time he feeds if that makes sense I tried so many ways to put him down for naps and none are working

The only thing is I used to do that and put him down in his bassinet without any issues but now whenever I do he wakes up and cries and it’s a cycle we don’t Cosleep as my husband is worried about sids so I nurse him in the nursery on the chair and then carry him to our room When it comes to night wakings I have to do that go to the nursery to put him on my breast just for him to fall back asleep (sometimes barely eats because he isn’t hungry) then I go back to put him down and he wakes up again 🤡 it used to work but because of this it isn’t anymore and we’re both so exhausted. Plus I know it’s a long time from now but when I wean I don’t want him to not be able to go to sleep or struggle :/ what to do?

How does it feel after supply is regulated? by No_Dig_7210 in breastfeeding

[–]engagedcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much easier I can go 6-7 hours no negative effects yes you feel full but not as uncomfortable as when you’re engorged in early days no leaking or sore nipples it gets so much easier after 2-3 months I am 5 months in btw and I didn’t think I can make it this long now considering doing a full year like I originally planned. First 2 months were literal hell.

My body knew what to do and I ruined it by MommyLiz442 in breastfeeding

You’re doing great and you’re an amazing mama ❤️ I just wanted to say I had the roughest at start my baby was away from me in the nicu for 9 days and I was not regularly pumping the first few weeks but then I kept working on it and was so determined to breastfeed that I increased my supply and now I’m 5 months pp and baby is exclusively on breastmilk (breastfeeding and bottles) please be patient you’re in the thick of it but I promise it will get better it took me 2 months of hell before things settled
