My LO is currently three months old and every time she’s done eating, she starts crying hysterically. I know she’s not still hungry and is full. I put a pacifier in her mouth and then she stops crying. Does anyone know the reason? I don’t think it’s over feeding
Does anyone else feel like if they put on too much nipple cream before pumping that the suction SUCKS!! I didn’t know till recently that putting on nipple butter before pumping helps with comfort but I find that sometimes putting it on makes the suction worse and makes my nipple get too slippery and falls out. I need put the thinnest layer. Anyone else?
Is it bad that I feel like we shouldn’t have to feel obligated to give away milk for free? I feel like it’s so frowned upon to want to sell it instead of donating. The mental and physical aspect of pumping is so demanding that it’s hard for me to want to just give it away to someone for free. I recently posted a listing for selling my milk for 50c an oz and so many ppl messaged me asking if I can reconsider and am willing to donate instead but I literally couldn’t. Now I feel like i seem selfish to want some form of compensation for it. Anyone else feel this way?
Has anyone had pain in their upper back since pumping? Im 8wpp and lately I’ve been having bad upper back pain and sometimes have chest pain/tightness when inhaling deeply. My wearable pumps are pretty bulky so I’m not sure if it’s because I’m hunched over weird or maybe when picking up the baby with them on it’s too much pressure on my back? If so I wonder if it’s the pain from my back radiating to my chest. Pls tell me someone else has gone through this I feel lost.
Can someone please tell me what is causing this noise inside the unit in my apartment? For the record, our ac used to go out all the time where the thermostat would say “ wait “ and never come back on & it was constantly dripping water. Maintenance has fixed it like 8x and this last time they fixed it and haven’t had any issues but it’s been making this noise on and off for HOURS. I’m going to contact maintenance but was wondering if anyone knew what it is?
How are u guys emptying in 10-15min? I swear i only empty when im pumping for 30min. I do pump every 4hrs but even when i was pumping every 3 it was the same thing. Any advice? I use the momcozy s12 pro & do 5min expression 5 min simulation and alternate back and forth for 30min
Does anyone else get more milk when using simulation mode than expression? I swear more milk comes out using simulation than expression does
I recently used the Frida hydrogel pads and on the packaging it says safe for breastfeeding moms. I woke up took them off then 4hrs later I pumped and forgot to wipe my nipple off w water like it recommends you do. Is the milk still safe to drink for my baby or should I dump?
