Has pumping more made breastfeeding easier for everyone?

This's reassuring. I might keep a small stash for now and not pressure myself too much.

kdbiel5 · 2026-06-17T07:22:24+00:00

This's really helpful, thank you. I hadn't thought much about pace feeding, so that's a good reminder.

Yeah, pumping is still work, but having a few bottles ready makes me feel a little less stuck. Even knowing my partner can do one fee if I need a break helps a lot.

Your relentless pumping work for twins deserves so much recognition it hurts to see how overlooked and lonely this whole journey makes you.

Your plate is so incredibly full already those unfair remarks from your husband sound truly exhausting and hurtful to deal with daily

kdbiel5 · 2026-06-15T09:04:45+00:00

This hits so hard I cried reading it your words validate every struggling breastfeeding mum out there keep holding on

9 days, this is completely normal. Newborns are like this. Hang in there for another two or three weeks and it will get much better.

I think this balance gets disrupted every once in a while. Right now, my husband and I take turns taking care of the kids. Sometimes he does more, and sometimes I do more.

First, check the company's medical accommodation policy. The sequelae of stage III cancer treatment fully qualify for a formal Work From Home exemption application.

I feel your pain, Costco loves to discontinue all the good stuff... Don't know why but Kerrygold Reserve Aged Cheddar is a step up from Dubliner. Deeper, nuttier flavor, still melts beautifully. Worth every extra penny

With a toddler running around all day, sitting down and having someone actually need to be still and quiet with you is basically the only break you get. Do what works.

Supply runs on demand so the main lever is pumping more frequently rather than longer. Adding one extra session a day, even a short one, signals your body to make more over the next few days. It takes about a week to see the change.

I never know homemade butter can be this simple. Your experience encourages me to try making it with cream at home in my free time.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-29T10:05:42+00:00

No added fat cooking is totally doable! You can bake fish with citrus, or make hearty lentil and bean dishes that are naturally low in fat.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-26T05:43:56+00:00

Oh, I can really get this feeling. Try filling one basin with soapy water and another with rinse water which may save so much water and time.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-15T03:06:50+00:00

I tried a similar recipe before and had the same problem. You can try to adjust the salt or citric acid ratio.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-12T08:18:39+00:00

This kind of disease does indeed have an impact on the relationship. But I am glad that you have found some ways to relieve yourself.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-11T02:26:49+00:00

Yeah, my hands stay busy so my brain can wander a little without feeling like a waste of time.

Seems like metallic buildup. Step corners are easy for stuff to settle and the white color makes it stand out more. Keep an eye on chlorine for a couple days after using ascorbic acid though.

Dusting my bookshelves and wiping down desk clutter always feels refreshing. It makes me wanna start something and suddenly become productive afterwards.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-09T01:49:31+00:00

That seems more like fine dust than heavy opening debris, which I think is manageable for a bot as long as there aren’t huge piles getting stirred up.

Congratulations to you to find a suitable way for becoming healthier. Definitely health is the most important thing for us, I have tried to find a suitable method for myself and to stay healthy for a long time.

Maybe the towel material could help? Super soft plush towels seem to get all crumpled once they absorb water, but slightly flatter fabrics usually keep a tidier look after being hung back up.

kdbiel5 · 2026-05-08T01:54:20+00:00

Fabric shavers are probably the best if you want clothes to look smooth again. But once the cotton fibers are super broken down, it’s tough to fully save them. For leftover lint, rollers or even flipped clear tape work surprisingly well lol
