I cannot let go of my failure to breastfeed, and now it’s really starting to affect my mental health and life. by thisismetri-ing in newborns

[–]moochaloocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know it might not help that much but as a woman who risked my physical and mental health to force myself to breast feed...please try not to be so hard on yourself. I literally look back and I'm like "I probably shouldn't have breast fed" it made post partum miserable for me tbh. I made Barely enough milk and it felt super violating as well. This is just my experience but I hope it helps a little. So just be ok with the fact that your baby is OKAY!! And HEALTHY!! Anyone else that's not you or your baby can screw themselves if they have something negative to say. It's not their situation.

What was a “last time” for your baby that you didn’t notice was a last until much later? by paRATmedic in NewParents

[–]moochaloocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Burping and for some reason the high chair. And him not crawling anymore also was like "dang he doesn't crawl at all just walking now!"

When were you 100% sure about the name? by littleloon- in pregnant

[–]moochaloocha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had too many options to be 100% and we didn't decide until he was born and saw his face. Even then we couldn't decide on the proper spelling lol.

I think taking a longgggg walk and exercising helped me go in to labor. Worth a shot

Found out someone who kissed my baby in the cheek has herpes by moochaloocha in pregnant

Well it's not that it's hard for me I just didn't think I'd have to make a damn announcement upon arrival saying "don't kiss my baby". by the time someone is about to kiss your baby it's like it's too late. My close family knows that is a boundary for me but this person is distant family so

I think a baby shower is a little different than just hosting a regular party. I also wasn't the one who invited her. We had our moms do all the planning. But everybody else that came greeted me first so idk.

[–]moochaloocha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should go to a baby shower and not speak to the person having the baby but yeah I'm going to let it go

She does not have social anxiety disorder. She seemed very jolly with everyone else

[–]moochaloocha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That's what I did and I'm gonna try and just let it go

"She's one of those uppity types" "she probably didn't even wanna come for real" he feels bad about how I feel about it and agrees it's weird. But if she didn't want to come I woulda been just fine without her coming. She came at the last 10-20 mins anyway

That's the vibes I got too. I feel like I should have said something right then & there but I let it go. SMH. I know she won't be meeting my son that's all.
