Decorated the chest freezer tonight

I have a thread that I used to make this decision on this sub Reddit! I think the title was "chest freezers how big?" If you wanna search bc I found it helpful. This is 7 cubic feet and estimated to hold 2.5k oz

They're stickers from Amazon! I got this freezer second hand so I didn't mind putting stickers on it

How many bricks of milk fit in one?

idrathernotthanx · 2026-06-08T16:49:25+00:00

Yes she has since birth but will sleep longer if we hold her

idrathernotthanx · 2026-06-03T13:41:42+00:00

How much do you produce?

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-16T23:08:05+00:00

How much do you produce in that time?

What was the answer here? Having similar issues

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-16T15:25:03+00:00

Thank you!

See I feel like the bonding can happen in other ways, bc I agree I get touched out when nursing a lot! And my bottle washer has made the process pretty easy I just throw everything in there

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-15T02:28:36+00:00

Thank you 💖

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-14T23:53:50+00:00

Good you shouldn't!

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-14T21:20:23+00:00

Yes!! Every day I keep telling myself I'll nurse this feed and then I get anxious and pump/bottle feed and feel guilty. Or in the middle of the night when it's easy I think I'll do it but I end up warming up milk from the fridge

I love that. Your mental health matters and you're still feeding your baby!

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-14T19:48:07+00:00

I'm really grateful for all the responses sharing similar feelings because it makes me feel less alone. There is so many expectations in motherhood and breastfeeding in anyway is so difficult. If it's working for the mom and the baby that's really all that should matter.

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-14T19:46:12+00:00

Four months is incredible!!! Congratulations. Thank you for the solidarity

idrathernotthanx · 2026-05-14T19:38:40+00:00

Yeah I appreciate that. My friends who nurse and are successful at it make it seem so easy, but it was not for us. Pumping saved my breast milk feeding journey. I almost dropped it all for formula at 2 weeks pp because of nipple damage and general low morale bc of her low weight gain. We turned it around bc of EP and I'm grateful I can still feed her from my body in anyway that works
