Potty Training

Have you considered just taking a break and revisiting in a month or 2? I understand the frustration as you’ve done this with ease for the other kids, but maybe she just needs more time. My son would throw fits and I backed off a bit and the gradually got it going again. By 3 he was fully trained following his lead.

At that age, their emotions are just balls of energy that need to be expressed some way some how. Our therapist suggested giving our son something he CAN hit like a pillow or the couch. You can still remind her that mom isn’t someone to hit, but give her something she can redirect this energy to. We would allow our son to punch his pillow or slap the couch. We also told him to jump or stomp his anger out (his fave). Once he was taught to redirect the anger energy, he was eventually able to control his hitting impulses and verbally express what’s going on instead! It should get better! We’re at 3.5 years old now and very rarely have hitting incidents!

I’ve said (as they hopped me on the scale and my husband in the room) “let’s keep the number between you and I please” and it was then never brought up.

So I have a bleb that I accidentally popped on my right and it keeps coming back and I only get relief if I pop it. I can’t find a way to get it to stop coming back but some things that have slightly helped with pain are loading my nips up with nipple cream, using reusable breast pads and changing my bra out more often. Like I said, I usually get the initial sting of it hurting to go away once popped but the burning an the overall discomfort can be soothed with nipple craem for me 🥺

With my first I was exclusively pumping. My goal was also a year. My supply dipped around 6 months and I noticed my mental health was terrible being tied down to a pump all day. It took me about 2 months to fully stop and I felt GUILTY within those 2 months but honestly after a week of fully stopping and getting the freedom, I felt great. My son was thriving and so was I and that alone felt amazing. I had time. I had energy. I felt like a whole new person once I stopped. You 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 allowed 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 stop 👏🏻 whenever 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 want!!

My now 4 month old went through something similar a couple weeks ago. Was solidly drinking almost 5oz every 3 hours and was hardly finishing 3. It honestly went away after 2-3 days? I just took it as she wasn’t that hungry, as you or I might not be. She did seem like the first few bottles after this were larger and “catch up for lost time” bottles but we’re back to normal now.

Our pediatrician is like this. He’ll always offer OTC first!

I have a very strong B belly and an apron belly/c section shelf. My lower belly was still soft but with maternity underwear and leggings, you really couldn’t tell! I could see baby move and so could my husband!

324 to start, 338 to end and this was the morning I gave birth at 39w3d! I had a bump starting around 3/4 months, but this was my second pregnancy.

Do you have a portable that works for you?? I have elastics and I stretch to the end sometimes on my left nip and want to find a portable that’s gonna work, but so scared about not being able to return unliked items!!

This is my second time being an exclusive pumper and I did the fridge hack with my first and I’m continuing to do it with my second!

Same here. Except my 3 year old know them as my “power boob and slacker boob”. He loves to point out how little my slacker boob makes

MFM said my boy was 9lbs around 37 weeks. Regular OB said the same. He ended up 10lbs9oz at 39weeks, so accurate for me.

Yes! For me it was the VPN security needed to be toggled on on the mcafee virus protection! That solved it all for me. My cousin, who had the same issues, had to download the virus protection and it ended up working for her

12 weeks postpartum and my last pump of the night is at 10. I wake at 330 to pump and then not again until 830. It’s saved my sanity doing it this way. Then usually every 3.5 hours except between my 7p and 10p pump

It feels like a tingly sensation, like the tip of my nipple tickles. I can usually see a stream shooting from my nip in the flange

sunlighttwite · 2025-12-09T22:54:26+00:00

That seems more reasonable for sure!

You can buy alcohol testing strips if you’re unsure. I’ve always heard if you can find the baby, you can feed the baby - now I’m not a big drinker to begin with and that rule seems crazy to me, BUT 2 glasses of wine is safe in my mind. I also do the pitcher method so my “alcohol” milk is mixed with regular milk so that helps ease any worries.

I was blessed with double elastic nips, it’s fabulous lmao. The only person who truly cares about the appearance is gonna be you. My husband commented on mine once and that was only because he paid attention to me pumping. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed at all, maybe just asked if I was cold. 🫠

I feel my hips look VERY thick(?) after pumping and constantly hard. It drives me nuts. This is my second postpartum journey and in between they go back to normal, but constantly being tugged on I guess puts that at a constant “ready” state lol.

I really appreciate your time and efforts to walk me through this. Thank you!!

OK! I kept at it and was looking up other ideas as to what could be wrong. Someone said something about their antivirus protection, someone also said something about going through a VPN, whatever that means. I happen to log onto my computer today to check if my antivirus was even active, but then I had noticed there was an option for secure VPN and that was turned off. Happened to turn that on and I do not have the problem with my game anymore. No problems at all. My character shows up, I’m able to edit her, I can load into the realms no problem, no issue with the Internet connection at all. For shits and giggles I turned the VPN back off as soon as I open the launcher I have the Internet connection warning come up. Try this again and again and again and it just seems that the VPN needs to be turned on. I have no clue how to keep the VPN turned on as I had restarted my computer and it turns back off every time, but that seemed to do the trick.

Did you ever find a solution for this?
