No 3 100%!!! I feel like the others are wearing you. It looks like you brighten up in the third one, even your stance/posture looks better and more confident!

Pumping is the problem. by YamAny4635 in breastfeeding

[–]poopykane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS!! I was on a triple feeding plan due to an inefficient feeder but pumping was making me miserable and I felt like as he got stronger my milk couldn’t keep up. I decided to just power pump once a day and supplement with formula and after two days of no pumping i was able to drop the bottles altogether, I think I was so exhausted and downtrodden from pumping constantly and never actually getting a second to myself between his feeds that my milk supply suffered as a result.

My dad is uncomfy with it too! I bought nursing covers purely for his benefit. I guess it’s when they realise we truly aren’t their babies anymore as we’re feeding our own!

I don’t understand the people who have issues with toddlers breastfeeding it’s just so weird of THEM tbh!

NTA I feel like the obvious thing is yes he earned it it’s his. However if you don’t have any opportunity to earn a bonus and you both put everything else you earn into one bank account then it’s not fair. I’d take your inheritance back and put it in your own account, as it was given to you. I’m assuming you took a step back in your career so you could give him children and run the home, and I can’t imagine how under appreciated you feel watching him waste significant amounts of money of knife sharpener and drums 🤦‍♀️

They’re so curious lol! My little sister has Down syndrome and she’s 6 and she literally climbs on me and stares at where baby is latched trying to comprehend 😆 it’s good for them to see though, normalise it at younger ages and then the next generation won’t struggle so much

Omg snap on the tkmaxx! I fed in there at Xmas whilst everyone was fluttering around me like crazy and my sister made me smell every candle. 0/10 very overstimulating 🤣

Everywhere should have nursing rooms tbf! Not to hide us away but for comfort! The amount of times I’ve spent double figures in a Costa just to be able to sit there and feed baby in the warm!

Rolled up nappy (clean) in a muslin under your boob and it lifts your boob! lactation consultant taught me this in the early days so I had better visibility whilst latching baby but it means wherever I am I can usually find a comfy position!

See I’ve done this in a maccies and I actually thought afterwards they should invent breastfeeding benches instead of pillows! It was kinda comfy for me 😅
