    Need encouragement… Dr wants me to stop BF, close to failure to thrive, slow gain

    @kars I’m sorry you’re going through this. Many friends of mine had to pump for a month to get their supply up and then were able to move back to EBF. My advice from my doctor, LC and various friends, rent a hospital grade pump if you are trying to increase your supply. Have baby drink from...

    I’m conflicted about Mother’s Day…

    @snyder502 You feel obligated to help set up but you’re not obligated to. Show up with your husband and baby for a bit (or without if you’re more comfortable). Spend most of the day with your husband and baby.

    Can I take a night off from EBF once a week?

    I’ve got a 2 week old baby and have been EBF. I’d really like to have one night of 8 hours of sleep. Is it possible to pump throughout the week and let my husband feed one night with bottles while I sleep? Would that affect my supply? Or is this just a silly idea?
