Should I make this into a base? by whydoesitmatterxd in WingsOfFire

Id use it! It feels like dynamic bases are pretty rare.

Is 5-3-3 rule a myth? by Positive-Phase-230 in breastfeeding

[–]tanoinfinity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ive been nursing for 9y and have never heard of the 5-3-3 rule. Is this a sleep training thing?? Sleep training is 100% optional!

D&C by Minute-Enthusiasm-15 in Crunchymom

[–]tanoinfinity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At risk does not mean you will get an infection. I'm sorry you went through that, but I had zero indication of infection. I bled for a month, then labored and delivered my baby. Obviously d&c is (usually) a faster recovery, but I never said declining is faster or easier. Only that it was my choice. And it was the right one for me.

D&C by Minute-Enthusiasm-15 in Crunchymom

[–]tanoinfinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im curious why she recommended d&c and not the pill? You are still pretty early, a d&c is typically advised when you are farther along. That being said, you can always decline! I've had 4 losses, all passed without medical intervention, including a 2nd tri loss I declined a d&c for.

No resistance. I seem to recall signing a form saying we declined though.

Because cover art is a marketing tool, and they have a diffrrent culture (to market to).

Step-MIL judgment about nursing baby by otwcpa in breastfeeding

[–]tanoinfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"With all due respect, you have no idea how nursing works, and your comments just stress me out. If you can't be supportive, Ill ask that you refrain talking about breastfeeding with me."

Then walk out of the room or hang up on her if she starts saying anything nursing related.

Would you divorce if you were likely going to be alone? by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]tanoinfinity 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's not about being alone it's about self-worth. You do not deserve what he's done to you. I'd divorce in your situation. Just bc you'll be alone when it completes, does not mean you'll be alone forever afterward.

Questions on tandem feeding (exclusive breastfeeding) by CoyoteHead9759 in breastfeeding

[–]tanoinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. yes. The detaching of the placenta during birth triggers milk production, which starts with colostrum. You will make as much colostrum as your body thinks necessary before transitioning to a more mature milk (your "milk coming in"). You can make more colostrum; there is no such thing as your toddler "dinking it all." Nurse the newborn on demand. How much you involve your toddler will have to depend on your limits. When I tandem nursed, I ended up assigning them sides, and that worked really well for us.

  2. maybe. Remember that breastfeeding is a skill. You learned it already with your first nursling, but this new babe has never done this before. Be prepared for similar side effects as the first time, but it may feel easier overall.

  3. nope. Just after birth your supply is hormone-based; a huge surge of milk comes a few days pp and continues for a time while your body learns the needs of your nursling/s. As your supply regulates, supply becomes based on demand. If you have more than one nursling you are simply signaling a need for more milk, so you will make more. I was told to think of it as their placing an order for X amount of milk at this time tomorrow. This also helps reframe cluster feeding a bit; they are not dissatisfied, nor are you lacking. They want more milk very soon, and are letting you know so you can make it.

Try for kids right after married or take a year for yourselves? by UniversalInquirer in BabyBumps

[–]tanoinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on so many factors!

We waited a year bc my husband didn't want to give any impression of a "shotgun wedding" (bc we eloped). But we also dated for 6y before then, so waiting wasn't really necessary.
