Breastfeeding and Pumping | Forum profile

My DH is also the same. While I was pg he was my biggest cheerleader for bf. He attended the bf classes with me and everything. Once I delivered Landon my MIL gave me some problems and always made rude comments about bf. My breast are pretty big and we didn't quite get a good latch in the beginning and he was not nursing efficiently. He was losing weight. When we went to our ped appt our Dr basically said that bf was too hyped up these...

I love my Medela PISA! Check to see if your insurance will cover your pump. I seem to be in the minority on this, but my BCBS did...only had to pay co-pay. Can't hurt to ask!

Well I started to select that I regularly NIP with a cover, then realized I am not usually IP so I went to vot for rarely, and ended up selecting both lol. When I am out and about, I will nurse him, usually putting him in the sling and carrying him around. But we dont go out that often, so its pretty rare either way.

Start taking garlic oil (or eating raw garlic) and 1000mgs of vit c every 4 hours until you get it cleared....that can help ward off infection. Also try having baby face the direction of the clog- that's what always worked for me.

My supply gets low at night too. I would stop bottle feeding and nurse nurse nurse...learn the side lay position...so you can sleep too

i don't think you're supposed to do that. i have pumped over different sessions, added the milk together and then froze it. you can always just freeze the 1oz and thaw multiple bags when you need too, but you will waste a lot of bags this way.

My DH is super supportive still. He's all about the tandem nursing too, if it gets to that. I'm like Mrs. Wilson - in that I'm less into it than he is most of the time these days. I think he's really liked, and taken full advantage of my baby being a booby bedtime baby. He would like that to continue forever I think.

Why does everyone think it's okay to talk about my boobs? What they're doing, not doing, how they're looking, etc.... ARGH! I met my sister the other day to bring her to the doctor and the first thing she says is, "Are you wearing a bra??" I was like, "No." (I pretty much never do -- I wear tanks, but I guess they don't do much). I had run out of the house and knew I needed to nurse her...

My cycle came back very weird, I got af back at 5 1/2 mos pp then not again until 4 mos later, then after that it was steady between 35-40 days until I go preggers.
