Can't produce breast milk anymore 😕

I am 12 weeks post partum, and I think I've dried out already. I've only been pumping since she was born and latch her occasionally just for stimulation, but majority is bottle feeding. I used to get 10-12 oz a day, and recently, I'm lucky if I get 3 oz. 😢 I've tried everything I see other moms do, but nothing is working for me.

I'm sorry girl. You could try making an appt with OB.

So sorry this is happening to you. Have you tried power pumping? Always remember that even if you are dried out baby girl still received the best from you for as long as possible. You’re doing great. 😊

A baby is the most efficient means of getting milk from you a pump will never be as good at it. So if you would like to get your supply going again I highly recommend putting your baby to your breast every 2 hours, even if it’s just for a few minutes. If the baby doesn’t take it pump for 10 minutes instead. But truly that’s how to boost things back again.

@Grace I wish I could but my 12 weeks of maternity leave has come to an end, and I will be going back to work already. 😪

@Haley yes, I have. I have also tried to breatfeed her like directly to me but she is just screaming bloody murder. Especially before bedtime.

Did you try Legendary Milk supplements?

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.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.
