Breastfeeding

Weird question but I don’t know if anyone else has this happening to them, but I noticed when I get ready to breast-feed my son I’ll squeeze my nipples and there’s milk coming out of the Ariola that’s around it has anyone else had that happen?

That’s happened to me, when my daughter decides she wants to twist my other nipple that doesn’t produce anything I’ll have milk coming out of the areola, I haven’t fed or had milk come out since she was like 2 months old that side dried up but I’ve been breastfeeding for almost 13 months. Anyways yes that’s happened and I wonder why it does that. I’m thinking there’s a milk gland possibly there?

You sure it’s actual milk? I recently found out that glands in the areola release an oil that sanitize the actual nipple right before baby eats!! Wondering if that may be what you actually noticed

Google Montgomery Gland, it's normal for some women to leak a little bit of milk from them sometimes. It happened to me when I first started breastfeeding but it stopped after a few months

May have said something bad unintentionally

So a few weeks ago I went to see my cousins baby she's now 5 months old I held her once and interacted with her ect then gave her back to her dad they offered me to hold her again

It just came out and I said I'm okay I'm not really a baby person

I know some people love to hold baby's and cuddle but that not really me.

I wish I had t said it now I feel like a knob I just ment that's I was okay not to hold her again and that I would be more interactive once she's a lil older eg sitting up and crawling ect I find smaller babies quiet fragile I was even like this with my own , I didn't mean it wrong , how can I apologize or am I over thinking it

I didn't mean to offend them at all.

I find my Toddler Annoying!!

He’s 4.5 and he’s just so silly all the time like he makes stupid faces when I’m talking to him and he’s just so loud and obnoxious majority of the time. Sometimes it was funny but now it’s just annoying and then he instigates his younger brother’s behaviour. Is anyone else going through this? Is it normal? What are ways to cope because I just keep rolling my eyes lol.

Vitamin K shot and baby boy circumcision!!! Advice pls!!!

The doctor told me you can't circumcise your baby boy with out the vitamin k shot, but I don't want him to have the vitamin K shot, but I do want him to get circumcised.

What are your guys experience?

Sleep training?

I am waiting for my daughter to be 6 months to start a sleep training method. Currently, she only does naps on me and nights are divided into two where my husband keeps her until 10:30-11:30 (she sleeps on him) and then we co-sleep. I am not sleeping obviously since she eats often or wakes up because she wants comfort🙃.

Any advice? What did you do? What do you recommend?

She’s extremely attached to both of us and we tried the cry out method when she hit the 4month regression and it was HORRIBLE. I cried with her, she was way too young. She’s 5 months now and we’re going on a trip but as soon as we’re back, for my sanity we need to do something about it🥲.

Independent Sleeping/ Sleep Training

I need help with independent sleeping. My little one is 9 nearly 10 months now and I’m considering teaching her to fall asleep on her own but I’m not sure where to start. I know a lot of people do the crying it out method but idk if I want to jump right into that 🤧. Right now I usually rock her to sleep or she’ll fall asleep on the bottle or occasionally if she’s really exhausted and can’t switch off, I soothe her after she cries a little. But I can see that she’s starting to get frustrated at she can’t fall asleep on her own and trying to close her eyes and lay down to sleep but she’s struggling. So any tips on how to start or what helped other mums would be much appreciated. 💕

CRY IT OUT METHOD

Can I let my 6 month old “cry it out” when I’m putting her to sleep? She’s bathed, fed, cuddled, burped and just takes her time to fall asleep I have to sit next to her cot. I also have a toddler so it’s hard when I’m committing all of this to her and just letting him go to sleep it’s ruining my mental health sitting here for ages.
