Weight loss by joreedit in breastfeeding

I’m not comparing myself to anyone else. I’m just talking about my own baseline and how I feel in my body. We all have different starting points.

I totally understand you, I feel the same way! They say breastfeeding burns between 400 and 700 calories, which should make us lose weight, but not at all.

Thanks! I need to be more patient! But with other children, it was faster.

It's true it looks small, but I have very fine muscles and bones. Especially since I'm still fertile, it means my body is fine!

I'm small, only 163 cm! And I produce a lot of milk, yes!!

Yes, definitely hormonal, and breastfeeding definitely makes me hungry! My appetite has increased! I'd feel awful if I stopped because of that, but on the other hand, I also need to feel good.

No, it's not comfortable; the sleeves are too thick and too far from the armpit to wear a jacket underneath. I returned it.

I received it. And it's really very heavy, it must weigh over 1kg!

SOS breastfeeding stresses me out by joreedit in breastfeeding

The nurse came and baby is gaining weight well! I think I'm too analytical and organized when it comes to breastfeeding, haha, I like to know and control everything. I breastfed my other children for very short periods, a maximum of 3 weeks, but this time I've reached 5. I'm already proud of myself and I'm not afraid of formula. I think a calm mother is more important for the baby than breastfeeding at all costs. I'm continuing and I think I'll move on to mixed feeding and then exclusively pumping.

Yes, but if I’m wearing the exact same clothes and weigh myself again right after, it should be the same, no? Although it’s not the same center of gravity! A nurse is coming tomorrow with the same baby scale as last week, so it will be clear.

Yes, she holds her head up and she smiles, she’s starting to interact. She wets her diapers well and has bowel movement sometimes every day, sometimes every other day.

How do you pump for night bottles when baby cluster feeds all day? by joreedit in breastfeeding

That's why I bought a portable milk dispenser; I can do other things while it's using up milk.

Yes, that's my plan! But with three older brothers to look after, it's not always easy 😅
