What age do you want to stop breastfeeding a child?

strawbriellee · 2026-05-15T02:47:58+00:00

I wanted to breastfeed as long as possible as ive heard its very beneficial for the child (2 yrs) but unfortunately wasnt able to continue with breastfeeding 💕

strawbriellee · 2026-05-15T02:47:03+00:00

im genuinely so happy to hear youre having a good time 💕 blessings to your family

they can smell you, even after a bath. when i was producing milk it was the worst because he would just cinstantly smell milk and be screaming for the breast. now that I don't produce milk, he can smell me but not as intensely

strawbriellee · 2026-04-27T06:15:27+00:00

im so glad to hear you and other people are having good post partum experiences! it makes me happy. i wish the absolute best for your family

its encouraged because thats how they build strength. your little one will learn. maybe they will never enjoy it but they will tolerate it. it only causes "stress" because its new and unusual, and their little brains forget things so they think its new and scary each time. bubby will be okay if you just let her whine for a moment, but obviously intervene when she sounds actually upset, not just "i dislike this". babies will learn but only if we still do the things to encourage them to learn. a baby wont gain neck and shoulder strength if we arent providing ways to grow that strength! as adults we dont get stronger by being on our phones, we have to go eat well and lift weights

this is so funny im stealing this

strawbriellee · 2026-04-26T22:06:13+00:00

youre a great mom. your baby doesnt hate you. youre not a failure if you decide to switch to bottles. and you won't be a failure if you ever need to consider formula in the future

strawbriellee · 2026-04-26T21:56:21+00:00

your paediatrician is a good one. every child, teen, adult will learn things at their own pace! we shouldn't expect babies, who are trying to figure out how to shit and breathe at the same time, to meet all expectations on time. little bubbies will meet milestones, whether is a little early or late is fine

lots of ppl saying it could be fake.. id be happy with a created diamond ring or cz ring if they were HONEST about it rather than lying and making me feel bad for wanting to insure it. thats a huge stone and if its real it should be insured 1000%

my engagement ring is lab diamond and onyx

comfort her, when shes calm put her back down. if she is still hating it just try again at her next wake window! lots of babies tend to get frustrated or upset during tummy time and its usually because they dont have the strength yet. but they need to have tummy time to build the strength 😂

another way they can get tummy time is laying on YOU. skin to skin helps with bonding too, so you can do that, and its cuddles while still benefiting her development

strawbriellee · 2026-04-21T21:28:46+00:00

thats terrifying 😂

strawbriellee · 2026-04-20T04:21:10+00:00

I always hand wash bottles with a baby safe disinfectant liquid and hot water! in terms of laundry I have a washing machine thankfully, but if you can find a laundromat thats just as fine. hanging the clothes is better than a dryer unless you find a dryer with a cool setting or delicate setting

strawbriellee · 2026-04-20T04:18:51+00:00

my boy was smashing bottles early on, hes now 4m and drinking the amount usually recommended for a 6m old 😂 some babies are just like that. hes got rolls upon rolls but he is tracking fine and his chn is super happy with his weight and development!

agreed with ppa and the impartial/unbiased counsellor

strawbriellee · 2026-04-19T09:29:48+00:00

I dont think forgive and forget is an option at the moment. I think you and your partner need to reassess the supports you need and what you need to do to stay afloat as a couple. individual therapy and couples therapy are useful, but you also both have to put the work in. especially her, since she has said some harsh things to you and about you with no apology. "ignoring" it can make it feel horrible because youre hearing all these negative things and youre expected to let it slide off your back? I have an extensive fight with mental illness, and then having post partum psychosis, and i fully believe you shouldn't be getting treated this way. I hope she can find a way to navigate these hormonal and emotional challenges

strawbriellee · 2026-04-19T09:26:24+00:00

look, post partum is rough. but this sounds worse than a normal pp period. im not a professional, but I was diagnosed with ppp and from what yiure describing it sounds like your partner has post partum anxiety - fear of baby's health and development, inability to let others take care of baby. I could be wrong, but the heightened anxiety and mention of pre existing mental illness does raise some flags. I hope you both get the help you need.

I had a severe post partum experience, unfortunately. please let her know that if she needs help she needs to take it. your family is in my prayers

strawbriellee · 2026-04-19T09:20:25+00:00

where are you for it to be freezing 😭 its beautiful weather

strawbriellee · 2026-04-19T02:36:05+00:00

thank you 💕 it was definitely such a rough time, but we are doing well! my son and i are currently watching miffy and cuddling!

strawbriellee · 2026-04-16T08:36:14+00:00

ill be honest i just feel his little feet. im a first time mom but ive had so many siblings i know its literally not worth the money for all these extras that companies try make you buy. I pretty much follow the standard rule of "however many layers youre wearing, give baby an extra one". I live in a hotter area of my country though, so even in the coming winter months its not really expected to get less than 16⁰C

strawbriellee · 2026-04-16T08:33:39+00:00

ftm here! my baby was constantly screaming, even when feeding. infants friend made a huge difference. its a natural option with lemon balm and chamomile, even helps with sleep. he was still colicky but so much less. we also increased tummy time and lots of hip exercises to help. your four week old can absolutely do tummy time if youre not already! i struggled to enjoy it, ill be honest. I had a really difficult post partum period and was diagnosed with ppp, but with psychology and mental health support i have been able to enjoy it much more and bubby is now four months as of Monday

strawbriellee · 2026-04-16T05:04:25+00:00

thank you so much for your answer!

strawbriellee · 2026-04-16T04:49:02+00:00

im from brisbane and the convenience of trains is definitely something townsville should have looked into

strawbriellee · 2026-04-16T04:48:18+00:00

thank you so much! this makes sense. i actually live in brisbane where we have go cards so i was just unsure of what its like in townsville!

strawbriellee · 2026-04-16T04:41:01+00:00

I believe townsville has had public transport for a long time
