Breastfeeding/bedtime feeds

We’ve officially stopped feeding during the day, going on a month now. But night time feeds😭 I’m so over it. How do I stop? It’s so easy to just keep doing it. We co-sleep so I usually just stuff boob in her mouth when shes fussing at night but I can’t do that anymore. And she’s going to war over not having boob, what helps? How can I get her to soothe better without it and find comfort in other things?

Have you heard of habit stacking? La leche league have some info on it.

Its was horrible but I had my husband take over nights for a week. I had to really talk him into it but there was no way I could settle my boy at night without he he was going berserk and hurting himself trying to get to the boob and its was just too upsetting so yeah had my husband do every wake up for a week, he took some time off work so that he could get sleep during the day and was pretty much up all night comforting out boy but yeah after that week I was able to go back it and settle him without him trying to get the boob which was good. I stopped nights first though, continued feeding during the day for another 7/8 months

MIL keeps planning to have a sleepover with my EBF 6 month old

She’s too pushy and I’ve said no endless times. It’ll be very stressful for him. I don’t pump because I don’t like it and my baby doesn’t like bottles. I’m currently trying to break nurse-sleep association. It doesn’t make any sense to attempt a sleepover because it’ll be just stressful for baby and I. I just can’t be asked to keep saying NO. It’s almost harassment. I said it’ll eventually happen once I’m back to work, not while I’m in mat leave as I don’t want to be away from my son yet. How can I approach this in a friendly way? She’s just too much sometimes and I’ve been very friendly and open about the idea, but not about the timing.

Won’t take bottles

I’ve returned to work and my breast fed baby girl will NOT take to any bottle. I have tried so many. Any suggestions?

First time Mom

Due in 2 weeks, what is better for postpartum for bleeding? Using pads or diapers?

Mounjaro

Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

When to stop sterilising?

My baby girl is 3 months and already so curious, grabbing things she shouldn’t, touching things that are a bit dirtier than I would like eg the floor and the rugs lol. Then she puts her hands straight in her mouth. I plan to keep sterilising her bottles etc for a while.

But curious when to stop, because at some point they are digesting bacteria anyways? Or is it still important to sterilise up until 1 year because of milk bacteria etc?

Numbness

I’m SURE it’s been asked before, but I’m over a year postpartum and still have no feeling in my scar area. I sometimes get an intense itch that can only stop with wicked hot water but that’s it. Anyone else have the same?
