Breastmilk storage tips 🫶🏼

I shared this in another group and figured I’d share here too!

I know when I was first trying to figure out how to go about keeping my milk organized I felt kind of lost so I just figured I’d share what I found works for me in hopes that it is able to help someone else 💛

I’m struggling to figure out how to load multiple photos so they will be in the comments with explanations with each on what the picture means! Pic attached to this post is a pic of what my deep freeze looks like currently.

This is amazing. I don't produce enough to have so much extra stock, but I appreciate your detail!

most of it I had collected from just using the haaka. It was a game changer for me to help in the beginning 🤩

@Sunshine Froese I used it twice and got clogged ducts after. Not sure if bad luck & coincidence, user error, or what, but I've been afraid to use it since.

oh my goodness that’s awful! Im sorry that happened to you 😩

Did you do the football hold with the haaka?

68oz in 5 days?!!! How!

yes I do football! She kept kicking it off if I held her differently lol!

I pump while I’m at work and breastfeed when I’m with her but I will still use the haaka or pump on opposite sides when I nurse her. When I was exclusively nursing before I went back to work I would get roughly 1 ounce per feed and I feed every hour when we’re together except at night she’ll go longer stretches

Basically what I was trying to say is I’m always collecting milk in some form or fashion. But when I was exclusively nursing I wouldn’t get as much in such a short amount of time. I get a lot more over a few days because I pump now if that makes sense?

Yeh sure! I think the haaaka has def increased supply too?!! Mine doesn’t seem to love the football hold

you could try the Boone trove (I think that’s what it called) it’s similar to the haaka but you out it in your bra so maybe that one would work better if you can’t do football hold

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
