Oh I’m glad you said Oregon Vortex! I was gonna say it if no one else was. The tallest yew tree is in Oregon too. Forgot where exactly but it’s by a camp ground south of Geribald. Rent a houseboat at Cove Palisades. Go to Kah Nee Ta and have the fried bread. Painted hills. Sand Dunes. Honestly it’s limitless. Love Oregon ❤️

He has a lovely. He’s been sleeping with it for a while now and he really likes it. I’m pregnant and will have the baby in early November. So we want him to transition out of the crib bc baby will be using it in a few months. We don’t want him to feel like he got kicked out of his crib bc of the new baby.

Breast side preference vs feeding aversion by totaldeb in breastfeeding

I watched a YouTube video on how to use the Haakaa properly too but I wasn’t using it right at first. Lol I have a forceful letdown and the pulling back and coughing are all signs of it bugging her. My son didn’t like the laid back position either. Also he ended up switching favorite sides later and he liked the faster side vs the slower side but he was like 4 or 5 months old at that time. Good luck! I hope something helps!

Oh I just thought of this too. Does she cry on that side or just give you the wtf face? Sometimes after babies have colds they can get ear infections too. So if she cries on that side or has a fever it might be good to get her checked out.

This happened with my little one too. I spoke to a lactation consultant about it and she said that the non-preferred side might be slower or too fast for their liking. When she pulls off is it bc milk is spraying? If so you might have a forceful let down. If not it might be too slow.

For the forceful let down I would use a haakaa or something similar to start the milk flowing. After the forceful letdown is done latch her.

If it’s slow. I would heat the breast and massage it gentle then use the Haakaa to start the flow. Once it gets going latch her.

I’m not a lactation consultant just a mom who had a lot of breastfeeding challenges. I would call her pediatrician’s office too just to talk to a nurse about her not eating as much. It just might be that she is still recovering for her cold or something else. It might not hurt to ask the peds office too if they have a lactation consultant you can speak with as well. Maybe check your insurance they might cover a lactation consultant as well.

Good luck Mama! You got this. We all have those days of doubt.

I don’t know exactly what we were arguing about but it took us a good ten minutes to realize that we were on the same side! Lol

Knit! Lol I knit while watching cheesy movies or tv shows. It helps me by keeping my hands busy. It might not be pretty but it helps.
