My husband likes to drink my breastmilk 🤨

My husband asked to “feed” from my boobs once and he got really turned on by it, I let him do it as a first time thing but now I’m getting annoyed/weirded out by it since he asks for it many times a day.
Has anyone been through this before?

He's weird and that should be for the baby. Any extra is a bonus and could be saved for the future.

I don't think it's fair to say that it's weird. If it is something you do not enjoy, then you need to tell him. If it is something you enjoy- and you have enough to feed your baby- then let it happen! Maybe not multiple times a day, but maybe every once in a while.

My husband tasted some while we were being intimate and realized that he enjoyed it and it turned him on. I told him I wasn't comfortable with "feeding" him per se, but if I leaked while we were intimate, he was welcome to it. That's our happy medium.

I also produce just over enough for LO so if he took too much from me I would be nervous about not being able to feed LO. He understands that and is respectful to it. He said he likes it because it makes him realize how amazing my body is to be able to do this 🤷‍♀️ to each their own!

tell him you are afraid of not having enough

i won’t lie … i would feel the same way i wouldn’t even feel comfortable with that honestly but it’s a whatever floats your boat kind of thing of course but at a certain point he needs to ask you if you’re comfortable with that but definitely speak up and tell him you aren’t to comfortable with it anymore

Lmao.. if it is many times yes.. that is a pain an uncomfortable, but if it is ust occasionally sure.
While I breastfed and had milk I also leaked many time on my husband chest when we were intimate and it was hot, and he also tried my milk.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔

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
