Breastfeeding

Hi❤️ FTM wondering when you stopped breastfeeding? My babies currently 6 months old and I plan to breastfeed until he’s 1, but I’m just curious when everyone else stopped and why(:

I’m at about 6 mo too! I exclusively pump, and overproduce/donate. I was thinking about starting to slow down around 9 mo since I heard it takes a little bit to stop producing? Then see where it and my stash get me! Shooting for the year mark.

I stopped at 14 months with my first. just because I was starting to feel drained.
6 months and going strong with my second lol!

6 months too! My goal is 1 year . I’m not sure what the game plan will be.

6 months in and my daughter has two teeth! She bites but it’s not too bad of pain. Only lasts a second! Planning on stopping at 3 years…right now I just can’t imagine stopping? I’m kind of fascinated that my body produces food for her if that makes sense. I actually want to switch to pumping and continue giving her breastmilk until 4. But it depends on how I feel when the time comes!

Which ideaology do you wish would disappear?

1. Toys have genders
2. Breastfeeding past 1 year is just for the Mum
3. Boys don't cry
4. You can sleep train a newborn

Couldn't fit an option for all of them

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

I am a single mom who is breastfeeding. When I’m in public, yeah I cover up because that’s my personal preference. But when I am at home alone, I am just fully top exposed. No care in the world.

Well my soon to be ex husband came waltzing in unannounced. No heads up or nothing. (No he don’t live there anymore) as soon as he walks in, he sees me topless breastfeeding our new born son. As soon as he sees, he says, “wtf is wrong with you? I don’t wanna see that shit. Cover up!” I had no idea he was coming over. Otherwise I would’ve covered up. But yet again, it’s my house. You didn’t tell me you were coming through. So if you don’t like what you see, there’s the door. Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

Do you think incognito posts making assumptions or comments about breastfeeding are just trying to take digs at breastfeeding Mums?

Like I'm talking about present and past posts, for instance the one where they said it's weird to breastfeed a 1-2 year old or talking about Mums being addicted to breastfeeding... Yadda yadda yadda. Do you think they do that to try and slyly take digs at Mums who breastfeed?

Hurts to have sex

I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum and have already gotten the okay from my obgyn to have sex again but me and my husband tried and it hurt really bad, I didn't start feeling or anything but it hurt to sit after as well (we did not continue when it started hurting) any advice? Me and my husband's sex drives are high and I miss being intimate with him but don't want to undo any healing I have accomplished

I’m grieving the mother-in-law I wish I had

Anyone with me?

I’m sad because I’m mourning the person I wish she was and wished we had a relationship.

We are no contact for the second and final time. I can’t help but think she’s missing out on her son and our first baby (never met our baby and don’t even know if she knows about her).

I just wished she was different and it could all be happy.
