Re: *~*Breastfeeding while pregnant check-in (11/25)*~*

  • 1. How many weeks pregnant are you?
    6 weeks 5 days

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)?
    DD will be 22 mo on the 27th

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
    My nips are super sore! Latching is painful right now. We are still chugging along and I'm pretty comfortable with the laid back nursing schedule we have right now. Some days dd nurses once, sometimes twice. There are days she doesn't ask at all.

    4. Any questions for the group?
    Any tips for nipple soreness other than lanolin?

    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
    DH is working, so DD and I will be at my mom's for Thanksgiving. I plan on stuffing my face to the max. After MH gets out of work, we will head over to my SIL house. Thankfully my mom and SIL are only a couple miles from our house. It's so nice to not have to travel far.

  • I am feeling pretty defeated this week when it comes to breastfeeding :(

    1. How many weeks pregnant are you?
    7+1 (my due date got pushed back a week)

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)?
    DS is about 8 1/2 months.

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
    Definite supply issues. DS cries in frustration every time he tries to nurse. I have been trying really hard to get him to take a bottle, but it's not working so far. We have had a drop in wet diapers, and I know he isn't getting what he wants or needs. Our journey might be coming to its end soon.

    4. Any questions for the group?
    I might think of some later, but my mind is so scattered right now.

    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
    Just a small get together with my mom, her fiancé, DH, myself and DS. So ready to eat all the foods!!!!
    Baby #1: Nixson Thomas - Born 3/11/14 @ 4:32pm, 7lbs 10oz, 21.5"
    Baby #2: Emma Haley - Born 7/2/15 @ 7:09am, 7lbs 9 oz, 21"
    Baby #3: TTC (hoping for a due date of spring / summer 2017)

    I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time with your dropping supply. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for the both of you. Whatever ends up happening, be proud that you made it this far. Please try not to be hard on yourself!

  • 1. How many weeks pregnant are you? We THINK around 6-ish. We will find out for sure at our appointment on the 4th. 

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)? I feel like the odd one out here with a two year old! 

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? My nipples ached so badly this morning that I almost didn't let her nurse. I told her she had to be gentle and not pull, and she was very good about it. But still. OW. 

    4. Any questions for the group?
    None so far! 
    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving? -- My best friend and his GF are coming into town to stay tomorrow night into Thursday. After they leave, we are headed over to dinner with my maternal extended family (which is, in a word, HUGE. Like we had to RENT an entire lodge to fit us all). This one is gonna be hard because we just lost my grandmother to cancer in August. It's gonna be a rough one.

    BFP on 11-14-2014, aiming for a VBAC

  • I'm cautiously joining in, still with a fairly new BFP, but I'm very excited to be here!!

    1. How many weeks pregnant are you? 4 weeks, 6 days.

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)? 8 months.

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? A lot of nipple pain the past day or so, I'm worried that there's a supply issue. My pumping output has decreased & she seems more squirmy / wanting to nurse for longer.  I'm hoping it's a development leap & not a supply issue this early on.

    4. Any questions for the group? None yet!

    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving? Family dinner at my parents' house with our immediate relative, about 30 of us.  I can't wait for everything, Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite.

    @adwamsley- Heeeyyyyy girl!  (Fun fact, besides DH, she's the first person I told about my BFP!)  No advice, but I'm thinking of you, you're doing a great job.  Hope your supply goes back up soon - remember that there's a growth spurt at 9 months.  So it may be more Nixson than you, keep plugging away!

    1. How many weeks pregnant are you?
    About 5 weeks.

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)?
    My DD is 18 months.

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
    My supply was low before and now I'm thinking its almost gone and DD is comfort sucking. My nips are incredibly sore. Before I got my BFP I was thinking I had thrush again but I'm fairly certain now that it's just a PG symptom.

    4. Any questions for the group? Not now but I'm sure I will in the future.

    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
    DH and I still haven't decided...holidays are unfortunately always a sore issue for us. We're both selfish and want to spend time with our side of the family lol.
  • A tip for those struggling with supply look into a SNS (supplemental nursing system) they are incredibly affordable on Amazon and will help with the possible adjustment to your stashed milk, donor milk or formula supplements! (:
    Also for achy boobs warm compression right before and after nursing will both soothe your aches and help your let down.

    6 weeks

    My DD is 14 months

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
    No issues at all!

    4. Any questions for the group? My ultrasound at 4.5 weeks showed two sacs. My NP said i should wean dd because my body would need all the nutrients for me and possible twin pregnancy. I don't want to wean, but is this advice i should take into consideration?

  • Sorry, im just now trying to figure out how to post lol i may have done it wrong :/

    @daniellelea1985‌ -I get plenty of criticism for continuing to BF. My DD will be 2 in January and my mom, grandmother, and even sister keep saying that I shouldn't be BFing anymore. My OB assured me it's perfectly safe to do while pregnant (which I already knew) so we aren't stopping!

    @ifwisheswerefishes‌ -my DD is almost two. You go girl!!

  • 1. How many weeks pregnant are you? 6 weeks tomorrow

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)? 10 months

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? My supply is plumetting. I am not sure if it's bothering my nursling, but when I pump - yikes! I have been pumping for 20 minutes and have gotten 2 ounces. Lame.

    4. Any questions for the group? I can't think of any.

    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving? Heading to my aunt's house for dinner.

  • 1. How many weeks pregnant are you? 8w5d

    2. Age(s) of your nursling(s)? 18 months on Dec 1!

    3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? He only nurses twice a day, but I have major aversion. We're still trucking though!

    4. Any questions for the group? Do any of you plan to tandem nurse? I can't decide.

    GTKY: what are your plans for Thanksgiving?
    Going to see my family, and announce LO #2 is on his/her way!
  • 1) 5w6d
    2) DS is almost 23 months
    3) nipples are starting to get sore while nursing and I'm starting to notice a dip in supply.  Not a big deal though, I'm pretty much ready to wean.
    4) not so far

    Going to visit DH's family.
  • @daniellelea1985 surprisingly I did not get much criticism for BFing while pregnant, though I think it helped that my SIL did it first and she's a pedi.  Probably paved the way for me!  When I had DS, the nurses asked me if I had BF DD and I told them, "Yes, DD weaned at 20.5 months when I was 10w pregnant."  They told me that was great because my milk should come in faster since it hadn't been long since I had stopped BFing my last.  My milk did seem to come in pretty quick and that was despite the fact that I had to pump the first 12 hours while DS was in the Special Care Nursery!
