Interesting BF observation

So, in the morning A will bf on one boob and I'll pump the other.  For the rest of the day, the boob that she BF'd off of will give me less milk.  Which is contrary to what I would think because a drained boob is supposed to fill up, right?  Its weird.  And its happened since day 1.

Also, I've been BF'ing for over 7 months now.  Just wanted to say (type) that out loud. Yesterday after he loaded us in the car, DH kissed me and thanked me and told me he realizes its no small deal.  Was nice to get the recognition.

  • Congrats on the 7 months of BF'ing and that new pic of A is to die for.

  • How so sweet of your dh. I often times wonder if my dh realizes how much work and dedication it takes to bf. 

    For me, it doesn't matter which side DS nurses on, I always have one boob that has less milk. It's been that way for 3 kiddos now and it's always the same boob.  

  • congrats on 7 months!!

    i think I had one boob that just produced less too :)

  • LOVE the siggy.

     

    I have an under performing boob too. Totally normal.  And way to go on 7 months!  My DH is very good about knowing the work it takes to BF. Nice when the hubs realize it's no small feat!

  • I must agree, Das Boobinhoofen is pretty freakin' cute.  Congrats on 7 months, that is awesome!
  • I'm sorry. I couldn't concentrate on what you were saying because I was distracted by the rainbow-thigh-chub-adorableness in your siggy.
    Dear Bump: You suck.
  • Oh, the cuteness that she is, Miss A.  Yes, I too have an underperforming boob.  Lefty is what DH calls the "firehose".  Righty, sadly, is not.

    What is it with the lefties?  Mine sucked too.  

    Awesome job making it 7 months and awesome that your husband recognize it.  Oh, and the thigh chub is too die for.  :)

    lolz. i had that too.

    A is OUT OF CONTROL. I can't even take her cuteness. killing me. 

  • Yup, my left one is the underperformer, no matter what I do. But interestingly, my letdown is way faster on that side so baby girl prefers that side at first. And I'm about to hit 8 months and I'm so proud of myself so I say to you "Go You!"

    And where did you get that super cute onesie? I love it! 

  • 7 months is AWESOME!! Congrats! My boobs did all sorts of weird production things. I decided I just had to settle for making milk. I felt like both girls did such a good job of emtpying me first thing in the morning that my boob just couldn't refill the entire void =)

    Its BabyGap from the Ms.LaQuinta collection.  Its my favorite onesie and she's almost outgrown it.  Sadface!
