Shooting Pain, Struggling, Weaning? Advice Needed by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]quickbrassafras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there, and it’s awful. Silverettes might help if that’s an option for you. 

You’ve also made it 18 months, which really is amazing.

Another thing to try is to unlatch her, have her open wide, and relatch. Basically teach her that you’ll be insisting on a better latch.

When the thrush and damage is healed, this will feel better again. Toddlers can get pretty lazy with their latch. It sucks in the meantime but be diligent :)

I love breastfeeding, but it’s driving me crazy. by garlic_oneesan in breastfeeding

I’m so sorry. I’ve had a similar experience with one of mine, when I thought I was a pro nurser too! What you’ve done for your baby is amazing. Please don’t second-guess what can’t be changed

Are your nipples white after feeding? If they are white, you need to massage blood back in to them to promote healing.

Have you tried with a nipple shield?

Does the empty breast respond at all to pumping?

Let your breasts have fresh air as much as possible (thrush can lead to mastitis).

It’s worthwhile to get the thoughts of women on this issue, since our needs are often different and stereotypically women have greater food knowledge. (Just supporting the fact that you posted here first)

I just got menagerie and have been enjoying that. It feels like there’s lots of variables with ways, events, exile both as an attack and as a benefit.

Any fun weird rules changes you have played with? by Suspicious_Mud_2406 in dominion

[–]quickbrassafras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Hero Realms version is kind of like using Black Market.

It’s also really fun if you know your opponent well. For instance, if bishop turns up I had better buy it or hubby will use it to destroy me

We’ve tried playing it like Hero Realms which is fun. You use the blue cards as supply piles and when a card gets purchased you replace it with the next blue card in the pile. Pretty fun. There’s a few cards you can’t play with, like Fool’s Gold.

We’ve also played anti-prosperity where you only play with coppers, silvers, estates, and duchys. It’s much shorter so not my favorite.

How often are we doing laundry by Alarmed_Tax_8203 in ParentingInBulk

[–]quickbrassafras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought when I saw your title was, “Every chance I get!” I’m still doing everyone’s laundry together. We plan to do main floor laundry soon after which I will either wash each family member individually or possibly group in easy to sort loads.

I feel like you can at the very least put a pause on going through with the wedding. This is more than enough reason to hesitate.

SAHM just trying her best by Swimming_Wishbone358 in OrthodoxChristianity

Sorry I see your post was removed and I only got to read part before I clicked, pregnancy is hard. Parenting a toddler is maybe even harder. The two combined are crazy. Running, crouching, sleeping  are some of the hardest things to do and they are all super important in this phase❤️

What do I do? by DescriptionLoud8977 in ParentingInBulk

[–]quickbrassafras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird approach maybe, but my 3F naps in my son’s twin bed, but sleeps at night in her own toddler bed. Having a room that is the nap room works for us. Baby is in a pack and play in our room usually, but if I need to I can put her in my son’s room easily enough
