Best thing I did for pumping

When my son was born he was 6 weeks early and my supply was not in and I didn’t want to formula feed him. I got an amazing output after 5 days straight of pumping for what felt like hours and then when he left the NiCu and he came home my supply drooped rapidly, like over 150ml to under 60mls and this kid wanted to eat a lot so the stress didn’t help. I did my research and started drinking mother milk and Moringa tea every morning and let me tell you the difference after a few hours is scary good. The photo is after 13 mins of pumping on a machine that when I used it for 30 mins I got the smallest amount.

This might not work for everyone but it’s definitely something I personally recommend trying at least once if you can and your supply is low.

This is coming from some that did everything, coconut water, oats, hot showers, body armour sports drink, power pumping.

Our baby doesn’t sleep any way but contact naps - how do I co sleep?

7 week old baby and he will only contact nap, he won’t sleep next to me or in his crib and he won’t nap on the day. Last night he was up for 6 hours between 1-7. I’m going mad, how do people Co sleep? What steps do you do to get them to sleep next to you.

Independent sleep

I think I want to practice independent sleep when my baby turns one, how is the best way to start doing this?
Her sleep has just started to calm down though after a lot of night wakes and cosleeping, so I also don’t want to mess that up, and she’s also adjusting to me going to work which is affecting her naps

Thoughts on taking one to hospital?
Think there’s advice to wait if you’re planning on breastfeeding but could be wrong. Hopefully planning on just expressing milk and have plenty of colostrum.

Have you had a “do whatever you want” moment? Share the battles you didn’t pick

At 2am my youngest was inconsolably screaming. After 20 minutes trying to figure out what she wanted she got a bar, but no it doesn’t stop there! She refused to throw the wrapper away and instead insisted on sleeping with it. So there she was snuggling with an empty bar wrapper like it was her most loved possession and I finally got to go back to sleep (I went to bed at 1:30 so I was in no shape to fight again lol)
