saggy boobs

alrighty so i’ve stopped breast feeding for a while and my boobies have changed, to say the least. it’s fine under clothes because you can just wear a fuller-coverage bra, but what about in lingerie ? 🤔 like teddies, bralettes and anything without an underwire just look unflattering 💔💔💔 how is everyone else handling it? any tips??

There’s not much you can do but i’ve heard that working out your chest area and like upper body could help lose some of the weight up there but also strengthen the area to be more perky. But breastfeeding and having babies in general just mess that area up so I doubt it would change a ton

Sorry to hear that. I breastfed for til my son turned 1yr. After breastfeeding I will do my routines I stopped breastfeeding but I keep doing my routines. You need to do this every day for 10 to 30 mins a day or do at Nighy or whenever you have 10 mins to yourself to do this. The side affects is that you boobs will not be big as you will lose fat and your skin will get tighter in your chest causing you to lose your DDs or D cup if you are my size. I used to be DDs and then dropped to a D now I'm a C.

Workouts;
*Dumbbell chest press. A home and gym-friendly exercise, & the dumbbell chest press targets the pectorals as well as your shoulders, and triceps

*Dumbbell pec fly

*Alternating dumbbell press

*Push-ups

*Stability ball chest press

*Up-down plank

*Dumbbell pullover

Hope it helps you as it helped me.

God Bless You Always! 🙏🏾

You're welcome 😊 the pullover workouts will help with tighting the saggy skin. For stretch marks I use Cocoa Butter for stretch marks. The push ups do then kneeling as you only want to work the upper part you don't want to get too tired.

Not much you can do but embrace it 🩷 I’ve tried boob lifting tape and pads, didn’t work for me 😭

is there an alternative that doesn't include dumb bells?

Yes you can use a water jug half & lift it up & down straight up for 1 to 2 mins or when you feel your muscles burn.

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?

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.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

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😔
