Over Supply

Hi Ladies, just wondering is anyone else is dealing with an oversupply and if so if you have any tips to reduce it?

I thought it would get better with time but now at 4months old and still having issues ☹️

How old is your baby? Are you exclusively pumping or exclusively nursing on demand?

I do, my babe is 5 weeks, my midwife told me to not touch my boobs unless 20 minutes within a feed, try to feed off the sane Brest for 3 hours then switch,

I would use a haaka to drain instead of pump any extra after baby feeds. Slowly they to decrease it

she is 4.5 months old and I am exclusively breastfeeding and nursing on demand I pump once at night because she sleeps through and I can’t go that long without pumping, I did feel like it was getting better but these last 2 weeks it’s just got worse and worse.

I was pumping enough and able to start a little freezer stash. But for the last entire month my supply has tremendously dropped. I just wish I was an oversupplier :( 😞

Block feeding helped me. Feed off the same side for 2 feeds in a row then switch

Mine got better at 5 months! 4 months their still going through sleep regression etc and are still very young. I will say look into block feeding. And into foremilk hindmilk if you haven’t already. Learning about these things helped me. Also try not to feed but every 2-3 hrs as feeding every hour if you are stimulates more milk. This happened to me

If possible skip your night pump. I stayed at inlaws and forgot my pump a month ago. My LO for some reason was not taking milk from 1 side that night and i couldn't pump. It's been 1 month, that side supply has been reduced.

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!

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.

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?
