@katrina2017 so far in my experience, i haven’t had to rely on formula but my lactation specialist said that that was a good idea as well if i felt like she needed it. congrats on your baby!!! the comments in this thread were super helpful for me and indeed mitigated a ton of stress.

@zimmy101b thank you!!! i ordered a carrier after one of the first comments i read about a carrier but im all about having multiples of things lol. i’ll definitely look into this because nursing in them is a must. i’m not sure u can nurse in the one i bought

@miss_kim i saw that someone else did this on a different comment on this thread! for the bouncer and the swing i have both!! when i pump i just talk to her if she isnt asleep, but for the most part she falls asleep right after every feed. her longest wake window is around 2 pm everyday

@z_alan_bridges thank you so much! i’m super grateful so far she has definitely been an easy baby i’m gonna try to just nurse, the comments in this thread have given me a lot of much needed confidence

@hopeisalive i’ll have to try that!!!

@turbogreen i’m gonna try it! i’ve seen so many people recommend it in the comments so far. usually i’ll just switch boobs whenever she unlatches to get her to drain both boobs lol

@gtdispomed9093 i ordered a carrier literally right after someone before you commented about it. my god it’s been a life saver!

@jordan11315 whoaaaaaaa. my longest wake window has been 4 hours so far. she doesn’t cry either! only when her diaper is soaked and she’s on the changing bed naked. she sleeps right after she feeds. i know it’ll change soon lol. i wouldn’t know what to do for 11 hours with her. when she’s awake...

@jordan11315 thank you so much! so far she’s been an angel. i’m gonna try to pump less this week and then next week stop pumping in general and see how it goes. how old is your baby?

@paulg1993 thank you 🥹🥹 i really needed to hear that actually, it definitely has been a bit difficult to acclimate but she’s an angel and i’m lucky to have her. i’m gonna try the hakaa! i’ve also heard about the elvie curve. do you have a preference on which one?

@doublev thank you 🥹🥹

@crystalsherie thank you!! i’m hoping i can breastfeed for that long as well. do u have any tips on maintaining your supply diet wise? or did you do anything or eat anything to make your breast milk last that long? i’m not sure if im asking the questions the right way. i’m just trying to make...

@p4tience ahhh okay i see! i actually would wake the baby up when i felt like i needed to relieve my breasts, and also to maintain her schedule. i didn’t know i could just let her sleep. also… what is a tongue tie 😖 i haven’t heard that term yet

@newtofaithjennifer thank you for this. and high five on doing it on your own because it really hasn’t been easy and i’m only 2 weeks pp. but she’ll be 3 weeks on monday! i have my mom and my sister come by to walk my dog occasionally but they’re nurses so they have crazy schedules and can’t...

@newtofaithjennifer i have noticed that i have a good boob and a boob that makes a bit less. but sometimes they switch! i wish i knew how much each boob was giving her each time she fed lol. what pump are you using for the other side?

@godsu i literally had no idea i can put the parts into the fridge!! i’ve seen others recommend that and im gonna try that before completely weening off pumping. also will try a wearable pump and the hakaa just to see what works for me. thank you for the link!! i’m gonna look into this

@tom2 wow thank you!!! i was relieving my breasts without even realizing it and this made me feel so much better. i’m gonna try pumping less and then eventually weening off pumping completely. however, now that I think about it definitely have noticed on a day where i didn’t pump as much that...

@rochellebelle interesting. i will keep this in mind !

@christy487 that’s what i heard worked best for a lot of other moms. i’m definitely gonna try

@master363 are you still breastfeeding now that the baby is 8+ months old?
