@poofiecn Just because you put in more hours doesn’t mean you’re working harder. Maybe you’re just not efficient. Or okay with being taken advantage of.

@olivemcr I’m also at 18 months and gloriously without a period for almost 2.5 years. Don’t miss it.

@badlydrawnshirts Just an fyi none of those sources say there is a definitive size of a newborns stomach. They just say that the “marble sized” example hasn’t been proven. The last source isn’t even relevant to the discussion.

@agapeos1080 Yes exactly!

@divinemarissa Interesting! It’s too bad we don’t have any definitive evidence given that moms are constantly pushed to supplement almost immediately (especially nicu babies who desperately need the benefits of colostrum).

@josephjurg Can you link research saying it’s been debunked? Every country uses this standard that I’m aware of. Hospitals make policy based on risk assessments, not evidence in many instances.

@josephjurg And no. Milk can transition based on hormones but the QUANTITY of milk is still driven by demand. Btw; colostrum is milk and the vast majority of women produce it beginning in the second trimester.

@whitm11 I don’t work harder than anyone else I work with (including the people who report to me). I’m just efficient. What takes me 2 hours would probably take someone else 4+ hours. That’s due to my ability to hyperfocus and identify the urgent/important work vs just grunt work. I’ve seen a...

@deborahallen No it’s the other way around. Show me where the “science” says otherwise. Hospitals make policy based on risk, not evidence.

@deborahallen No. It’s the other way around.

@jackos She said she tried

@quangqui007 Count the dirty and wet diapers. Babies cry a lot after being born. Imagine what they went through. Comfy, cozy, and warm with all of their needs immediately met. Safe in mom’s tummy. Then they are squished and crunched by the uterus for several hours, squeezed through the birth...

@confusedone070289 Yes! I’m not sure it helped at all though. I got off it after taking it for 4 months (before I started taking domperidone) and my milk supply saw no difference. For me I think it was definitely something specific affecting my pituitary gland because my prolactin levels were...

@confusedone070289 Yes but I had to do bloodwork to find the root cause. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism due to hashimotos. I needed medication to help manage those, and even then I still needed domperidone to get a full supply. There are several health issues that could be impacting your supply...

@headheart We’re almost identical. But as of late her naps are all over the place because she’s sick. She’ll sleep anywhere between 10:30am and noon and sleep 2-3 hours. 3 is when she’s feeling really sick. Usually down by 830/845. Wakes up between 530-630. Been waking up screaming with...

@susymac1957 It is the opposite.

@katrina2017 Time outs don’t relate directly to behavior so all the child will learn is shame for their feelings. I’m not sure how your approach aligns with the purpose of this sub but it is woefully wrong. Attachment parenting emphasizes connection, even in times of tantrums, not punishment...

@denman If it were me I would find another LC! I know mine was extremely helpful and supportive during the 5 months we were having issues. It’s important to rule out any underlying medical issues that contribute to supply issues. Am IBCLC is really the only person who knows what to order and...

@denman Wow your dedication is inspiring! As for the drop in supply, yes, it absolutely does when your period comes around. As long as you’re continuing to remove milk supply will always bounce back! I know how tough this can be so I think any solution to get your body moving and outside will...

@benzohar Dang. Parental preference is real!
