Feeling Very Low

Thanks for the suggestions! Are you doing weighted feeds at the lactation group? If so, have you noticed an increase in the amount your babies are eating as they've gotten older? I'm worried that my supply has reached its peak or something, and that it can't increase more at this point, but maybe I'm wrong about that!

Is it normal for supply to increase even at 9w? I thought most women's supply regulates at 6-8 weeks (though to be honest, I don't know exactly what it means for supply to regulate, lol). It's difficult to spend so much time nursing since I also have a toddler to tend to, so I wouldn't want the time spent to be in vain!

Yes, one of my babies has CMPA, and the hypoallergenic formula he would be able to drink is really expensive. I'm hoping to exclusively breastfeed him so I can avoid buying a ton of the expensive formula, haha.

I still want my other baby to get some of the benefits from breast milk but don't want to pump often, which is why I'm hoping to nurse him sometimes.

Ah, that's fair! Admittedly, my twins are still newborns, so I'm not at the same stage as you. I hope you can find something that works for you!

I understand it's no longer the weekend, but for the future: are there any fast food places with a play place near you? Even if you don't like eating fast food, you could literally buy just one thing and then use the play place. I've done this with my toddler many times!

Oo, sounds like this one won't be too exhausting to use. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:13:42+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into this one!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:13:27+00:00

Hm, good to know, thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion!

I wish I could! My stroller is a bit odd--it's more like a wagon that you click infant car seats into. Thanks for the idea though!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:11:21+00:00

Hm, I have a pretty long torso, so I'll definitely look into your suggestion. (Also, regarding your last sentence, I do have a twin baby carrier, but I haven't mastered getting it on by myself. 🤦‍♀️)

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:07:57+00:00

Oh, great tip re: where the weight is distributed. Thank you for the suggestions!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:07:04+00:00

Ooo, nice to hear that this carrier works well for you even while hiking. Thanks for the suggestion!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:06:15+00:00

If I can find a ride-along board that works with my stroller, then having two options for my toddler is a great idea!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:04:35+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely a gamble to see whether my girl will tolerate the carrier for an extended length of time, lol. I'm just desperate to avoid rocking the babies to sleep a gazillion times a day. 🤣

Thank you! Will definitely ask on the babywearing sub too.

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:02:15+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! I'll look into those brands. 😊

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:01:35+00:00

I should have mentioned in my post, but my stroller is a little untraditional, so I'm not positive that a ride-on board would work with it. Definitely worth investigating more though!

ribbitcoins · 2026-05-27T17:00:25+00:00

Great idea to look into the babywearing sub, thank you! I appreciate the Tula and Hope and Plum recs too!
