This used to happen to me when I breast fed due to fast let down. I used to feed in a laid back position or use the Hakka before a feed if very engorged just so they weren’t so full as it would come out so quick! I didn’t pump before a feed though as that can increase milk supply, but the Hakka just for the let down and then breastfeed when it wasn’t coming out as fast x

I had this problem too! My GP recommended to feed him whilst I’m slightly reclined back and keep him upright to help and work against gravity.

Your breast will adjust but you can hand express before so they’re not so full. The laid back and laying down position will aid. X

I ended up pumping, since I had a strong let down too.

I experienced this with my son too. Your let down will chill out after a while but feed slightly reclined and if you are quite engorged hand express some off beforehand. X

Try expressing a bit off before you feed chick

Pumping until your letdown is over and then the milk flow will be slower for your baby xx

Yeah my flow was like this too. I would try laid back or when your let down starts you can take baby off and use either hakkaa or burp cloth to catch the fast flow and then when you see it slow latch baby back on. My daughter used to get upset but it was kinda the only way for me for a little while in the beginning.

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!

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 🙂

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.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

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.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
