Supply?

Hi, I need to ask a stupid question.. I set my alarms for 3hours to pump, but sometimes my son is on me at that time so I can’t.. will this affect my supply? For instance, I pumped today at 1am, my alarm went off for 4am but I was already feeding my son and then fell asleep after, it’s now 9:30am and I haven’t been able to pump since 1am, I’ve been feeding my son on and off since 4ish on both side, but I feel bad that I haven’t pumped and don’t want to ruin my supply.. but I’m not sure if it will? Am I just being stupid? Because he’s still eating etc?

You should follow milky mama on Instagram.
You’re fine as long as your breasts are getting “messages or orders” to produce milk, so pumping or feeding every three hours is good. If you want a surplus then you can pump after feeding or in between feeding, you will eventually increase your supply.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
