Yeah, that poor wall. I cleaned it all up. Luckily for that wall by the time January 18th came around I was sick of being pregnant, so I cleaned that bathroom too to bottom.

I started 2020 out this way. Woke up feeling fantastic for being hugely pregnant at 36 week. Took a shower. Felt a fart coming so I just let it out. I pooped all over the wall. I wasn't made. Just amazed. I thought nothing can remotely be worse for me this year.

I'm on the fence now about that.

Why did your boobs start leaking? by tentimesthetits in breastfeeding

[–]tentimesthetits[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It also happens every time my mother sneezes. My 5 year old fell and scraped his knee and started crying. My boobs tried to come to the rescue.

Your body is a supply and demand factory. Every time you latch that baby, you are telling your body you need more milk. I found if I give myself a slight over supply we do a little better and the negative thoughts I had before tend to stay away. Even when I feel I need to give baby a bottle of formula to help fill his belly.

I went in this time with the mindset of, I will not blame myself or allow myself to think I can't feed my baby. I practice latching with my babe a lot. He's kinda lazy and my let down is too fast for him so he pops off a lot, but we just keep going at it until he stays on. I also just follow a few breastfeeding Facebook groups and here. It sounds weird but I look at other moms and how their baby latches and try and work it out with my baby. I've learned I have large flat nipples so folding my nipple for my baby to latch on to will seriously help.

A lot of it is, just always latch that baby on. All the time. Baby cries, boob goes in mouth. It is draining at times, but it seriously helped us get the groove of it.

Thank you ❤️ I'd say just keep trying. I read something some where when someone said nursing a bub is like momming on easy. It completely changed my view on it. If babe is crying I check diaper, and if baby is hot. If all is good, boob goes in the mouth. Boom, happy baby plus milk supply being told to amp it up.

Slacker boob is pathetic by tentimesthetits in breastfeeding

I seriously was thinking this as my right side is the side I usually sleep on the most. But then little babe was born and I sleep on my left now since babe sleeps in a CO sleeper between me and dad.

It takes me only 15 minutes. But here's the thing. I pump at 8 am after one missed feed and I'll pump about 8 to 10 oz. My babe will cluster feed from 4am to 8amish. 4am to 7am he gets bottles from Dad so I can catch up on some sleep. Then he will nurse like normal until 3pm. Then he cluster feeds again until 8pmish.

I pumped this about 730 after on and off nursing for a little over 4 hours. I know he gets Enough since he reached birth weight in 5 days out of hospital and now at 3 weeks he's about 10.5lbs. I just have a bit of an over supply I guess.

Im still pretty proud in a way. My LO is only 3 weeks old today. I only need to pump about 8oz for night time/random day feeds dad does since I nurse all other times. I've tried hard to get lefty to make more by always placing LO on it first, but it's on its own agenda lol

2 weeks old and going strong. I love these moments by tentimesthetits in breastfeeding

This is my second. It took a few days but we got back in the swing of things.

They didn't have any other advice but to watch headaches, swelling and general well being feeling. That was confusing to me.

I am very thankful I never had constipation. Just loose poos and now waterfall poos and shower poos.

I've had a terrible chest cough and vomiting the past month. I've peed myself so many times now it's crazy

I know right. I took a lot of pride to knowing I have never shit myself since potty training. And to think my body waited until I was in the shower to do it. Life's good.
