Bit of an odd one but , can colostrum squirt out or is it too thick to do that....

I have been expressing for a couple of weeks and just now and once recently too , i've squeezed and a stream has squirted up and out, air born πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

Wondering is it thin colostrum now i've been expressing a few weeks or is it partly milk now too.

Breasts dont leak on their own. But do feel thicker heavier last few days.

Mine spray too haha but I apparently (according to my OB and lactation consultant) have an oversupply. Happens to me when they are over full or if I’m a little late to when I normally hand express my colostrum. Apparently it’s normal and happens to some of us.

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

A full 8 hours

My 1 month and five week old newborn just slept 8 hours. I genuinely don’t know who blessed me, but good lord am I thankful. We really only woke up a few times to put her binky back in her mouth. She did just got home from the NICU and adjustment was pretty hard for the past few nights, so she certainly deserves a lot of sleep. Just happy to see her feeling more comfortable.

Baby hates me?

Why does my baby hate me. All she wants from me is to be fed and then screams and screams at me, she settles with everyone else and i don't understand what im doing wrong. I feel like the worst mum ever and am really struggling.

Front sleeping

My baby is 9 months old and I was told a while back that the sleep should always start in there back, is this true and why?
My baby always wants to front sleep now and I’m fighting every night to get the sleep to start on his back or side

Witching hour??

Pretty sure my 7 week old has a strict β€œlose all chill at 6pm” policy πŸ˜…

Evenings = crying, pacing, questioning my life choices πŸ˜‚

Fed, burped, cuddled… still a bit of a mystery. Any tips from mums who survived this stage? How did you get through the evening chaos?!

Too much pram time?

LO is 15 months old. He's not walking yet. We've always gone for 2 walks a day, for about 30-45 mins each. I've found this helps LO's mood and also my own mental health. It's occurring to me that perhaps this is too much "container" time. When we're home, I encourage loads of floor time and he enjoys pulling to stand and cruising on furniture. His only other "container" time is in his high chair 4 times a day for meals, and for about 10 mins at a time when I'm getting his food ready, unless someone else is there to watch him (our flat is small and not open plan).
