My baby just started teething at 3 months old. First off what did you do to help your baby? But than he has an upper lip tie never had an issue nursing, taking bottles or pacis but will the upper lip tie cause a gap? Photo is just to show his poor gums
So for the past week my boobs have been hurting. Sensitive nipples. When pumping and feeding also when not. I got my flanges sizes like one month postpartum but I’m now 3 months pp. i started pumping every 3-5 hours this last month during the day. Never really had an issue got engorged a bit but im hurting now. I breastfeed at night because it’s easy and helps my baby sleep. So i really never pump at night like once maybe and baby only eats like 2-3 times. Im i just messing up my supply by doing this? Should i be pumping every 2-3 hours again? Around my areoles are purple currently. Im about to pump. But usually after i pump they still hurt. No matter if im engorged or not. Im not sure if they are still purple haven’t looked after but idk what to do. Yes im a first time mom. I dont really know anything about this except the basics. When i have an issue i have no clue how to help myself🧍♀️
Kinda looking for advice. Ftm. From the beginning my baby and i struggled with breastfeeding a bit. He could latching but popped of almost immediately so i kept having to relatching him. It got better after a bit but its now going back to the same thing. I got a glimpse of what i think a lip tie looks like on my baby. If so could that be the reason for my nipple ending up looking like a lipstick. Like where is has one flat side and one round side. Where it ends my nipple starts off white then will be purple soon after. It hurts really bad kinda like a stinging sensation or like my nipple is being pinched. Im been bottle feeding more because of this but i like the bond between me and my baby during breastfeeding. We see his pediatrician in 2 weeks but until then i would like to know if thats what happening and if i can do anything to help it. Also i did get a photo of it and its not letting me out a photo.
I was making 9 or 9 1/2 now im only making 4 1/2 (plus spilled milk). Im not sure what i’ve done wrong or differently but i want my supply back up. I was an overproducer 3 weeks postpartum. I’m now 5 weeks postpartum. Now im making just enough. Im not sure what happened in the last week and a half but any tips or tricks to get it up.
I’ve tried somethings but nothing. I’ve drank non alcoholic Guinness cuz i saw a post that said it would up my supply. Nothing happened, it’s nasty and i’ve drank two. I’ve had and made lactation bakery items and nothing. I havent tried the medicine because im not sure its worth it. Also i’ve been feeling a little icky like im coming up with something but im not sure if that would affect it. Tbh im stressed i just want my 9oz back 🤧
Also didn’t mention but i did switch pump parts because i broke part of my old piece. Should i switch back to what i was using before? Would it help?
