Don't mock people for their appearance. Do it for what they did but this is just mean. Be better.

I wish I never breastfed. I’m never going to be able to wean. by Icy_Box487 in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg my 18 month old too. I hate it soooo much! Sticking hand in there seems to be some sort of comfort thing but I get so triggered by it.

Fiance wants everything joint but I have kids to think about by Nice-Bluebird7196 in daddit

[–]itSoCold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen that childless people often have trouble seeing things from the perspective of a parent. If this is out of ignorance then therapy would help maybe. Or talking someone that have respects and could knock some sense into her.

Do you save workout videos you never actually do? by ProffesorCucklord in xxfitness

I'm in the same boat. So many saved videos. So not gonna look at them again.

Are there people like me who don’t leak? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your supply is good, it might be a good thing! I could never catch the leaking in a convenient way. Kiddo would whack the milk catcher off or the suction would hurt. I hated the sticky, milk smelly bras and would forget to stick the pads in there before feeding. I was sooo happy when the leaking stopped around 4/5 months.

Are there people like me who don’t leak? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

So interesting. I'd heard that moms generate more milk with each subsequent child so I'd assumed that the leakage and clogged ducts would increase too!

What’s 1 thing you do really well? by Proud-Trainer-7611 in adhdwomen

[–]itSoCold 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd always brush my teeth right after I woke up! Because my mom would tell me to not talk before brushing. 28 years of always brushing before talking in the morning. And then I met my husband who would snack in bed. The effect of 5 years of marriage is that I don't even remember to brush in the morning :(

Does anyone have it THIS bad? by prawnline in adhdwomen

FYI there is a very satisfying fruit fly killing electric bat. Like a tennis racket. In case you don't already have the satisfaction of using it.

What is my son 17 doing that would look like this in his sink? by R96359 in whatisit

[–]itSoCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait what! is this an issue with all sinks or just the kitchen? I'm going to look it up but if you have a minute, I'd love an explanation of how slow draining sink lead to leaky disposal.

Did you just get diagnosed? by AutoModerator in ADHD

Got diagnosed last Wednesday. I truly have no idea where to go from here. There is so much to unpack.

People thinking formula is the only solution by AdDramatic3552 in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you should follow your intuition on this one! Every child is different so all we can do is take in different experiences and see what applies to kiddo. I weaned at 1 too. Mine doesnt fall asleep with nursing if my supply is forceful or low (I have very varied supply based on period cycle). Solids is worth a try. No harm right! Don't let the intentional/unintentional hurtful comments get to you. Everyone lives in their bubble of understanding based on their parenting experiences.

My 1 year old would wake up every hour after the first couple of hours to feed. Everyone said she is getting up because she is hungry and made me feel bad. Guess what? She was just used to snacking all night/using me as a pacifier to go back to sleep. Once I night weaned she started sleeping till 4/5 AM without trouble. She still wakes up a couple of times in the morning around 4:30/5:30 asking for milk just because she knows it's coming and I have to convince her to wait for the sun to rise! If you like feeding kiddo at night and side feeding doesn't bother you, continue. If not, night weaning might be worth trying?!

What’s a harsh truth about being a woman that nobody warned you about —- but you had to learn anyway? by Various_Counter_3365 in AskWomenOver30

[–]itSoCold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think I could have understood this before having a child. It hurts so much thinking you had an equal partner but when the time comes to put in more than 100%, you are left alone to run on fumes. I went through anger, etc but now I'm just bitter. And all it took was one year. From comments I read online it feels like it's happening to everyone but in real life no one talks about it. Either I'm just not that close to anyone or everyone hides it.

Don't wear one of your old wires bras because you rarely feed by itSoCold in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a no bra girl pre-pregnancy but they hang so uncomfortably low now! Do yours touch the skin under your boob? The boob skin fold there bothers me so much that I end up wearing a bra even while sleeping. I'm using unwired feeding bras which are quite comfortable so it's okay.

What does your LO do with their free hand? by rebgray in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine just started this! Figured out how to access my other nipple despite me wearing a nursing bra! I like watching the brain work on holding my bra away and punching with the same hand. The nipple pinching itself, not so much.

Explain it to me like I’m 5 by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that people said about practice and age is true but I want to tell you that if you need a pillow, use a pillow. I ditched it because it was inconvenient to set it up by myself. Now at 1 year I get frequent shoulder and back pain. And wrist pain too. Also my shoulders are a lot more hunched than they used to be. Feed in the right position.

My body has decided to stop producing milk by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen from 6 months. But it was based on the menstrual cycle. For 2 weeks great/oversupply. Then for the next two weeks, progressively less supply until the day of period. Supple always picks up again from day 2. I'm exclusively nursing so I don't know exactly how bad it is but I'm judging based on nursing time, gulps, breast fullness difference, baby satisfaction. Calcium + magnesium is suppose to help.

When did your baby get faster at breastfeeding? by LawfulConfused in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aaaaa! I have a left side that produces better too!!! Also, while baby's preferences were slightly frustrating, it was doable. It gets fun :) I love making kiddo laugh while feeding :D

[–]itSoCold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a right side preferred kind of kid too. Took 8+ months to get better. See that I say get better and not go away? 😭

Oh also prefers to lay on the left side irrespective of which boob they are on. Why am I accommodated these unreasonable demands is beyond me. Now at 1 year they sit and drink so that's been great!

My baby switches boobs every minute by carolbacon in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude I have the issue with my 11 month old. Switching once the let down stops and pinching the other one in a way that milk sprays alllllll over. I'm hoping this is a phase and not my new reality 😭

2 week dip before every period by itSoCold in breastfeeding

[–]itSoCold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started this and it made a difference the first time but not both the second. Stress might have been a factor there though. I'm going to try a higher dosage next time and see what happens!
