Bf with big boobs

I’m due my second in November and I’ve been really want to breastfeed but I had some problems with my first which meant I ended up exclusively pumping for 6 months.

So I have big boobs, 36G and I felt like I was suffocating my son every time I bf him. No matter the position, I had to hold my boob just above where his nose was because my boob would completely cover his nose so he couldn’t breathe which meant he kept unlatching. This meant I needed 2 hands every time I fed him which just wasn’t practical. It was like this no matter what position I fed him in.

I also felt like I was flashing everyone if I had to feed him in public and felt weird feeding him around family because I basically had my whole boob out.

We also had some latching issues but that was more him than my boobs and I know what went wrong with that.

So after a few weeks I made the switch to pumping which was fine but it was SO much work. 8 times a day for 6 months because I was an idiot and only used the handsfree wearable pumps and had to really work to keep my supply.

I want to try and bf with my second with maybe one pump a day so my partner can do a feed in the day so I can nap.

Anyways, just looking for any advice if you bf with big boobs, did you have a similar problem? How did you fix it? Or just any advice in general

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. 🩵
