Slacker Boob - Can I Fix It?

Hi! Pic for attention. 🙂
I’m 6.5 weeks PP with my first baby. I BF and pump every day regularly, drink ridiculous amount of fluids, eat oats, plenty of fruit and veg, and am a SAHM so have plenty of time cuddling baby, massaging my boobs to ensure there’s no blockages, etc.. but my left boob isn’t quite registering any of that 🤦🏻‍♀️😂.
My right boob is an absolute beast and always has been my dependable, trusty supplier. However, my left boob has never wanted to catch up. Can I fix this, or am I doomed to have a lazy left boob? Thanks!

Try power pumping just on the slacker side

What I did was exclusively feed the slacking side for night feeds and have a collection cup over night for the good boobie, then pump regular pumping in the morning and feed from both boobs but in a pattern that went bad boob, bad boob - good boob - bad boob, bad boob etc. hope this makes sense🤞 it fixed my slacking boob and now both boobs produce similar amounts but make sure that you pump your good boob during some of your bad boob feeds so that you don’t lose production in that side or leak too much😅 good luck lovely 💝

No advice I’m afraid- my right side is my slacker 🤣
Just wonder what pump that is and if you’d recommend it as I’m looking to buy a hands free one

Thank you for your help 🥰🤍 Xx

it’s the Momcozy S9 Pro set 🙂. I only got it last week but I absolutely love it, so handy. And you can Klarna it! X

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 🙂

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.

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.

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
