She certainly is a pretty face to look at, Boyz! I hope that hubby steps up and helps soon. When is he done studying?

I'm about THISCLOSE to freaking out on my own DH. He complains about how different life is and he feels like he just comes home from work and sits around (we're normally both very busy and extrovert people) and I'm like I DO THAT ALL EFFING DAY!!!! Then he makes plans to go workout with some friends, which seems fine because baby is sleeping, but literally 5 minutes later the baby wakes up (after having continually crappy naps all afternoon) and only wants to nurse. On top of that I have a plugged duct on one side and I think thrush on the other. I'm so done breastfeeding and being by myself all day only to be alone during the really crappy early evening hours too.

Sorry for the vent. Rough day here too.

Hang in there boyz and taytum. Those first few months are the hardest.

I didn't breastfeed with any of mine so i certainly can't relate with that but as a person who is so on the go i would struggle with the nursing side of things so hats off to you for doing it.

I have been so irritated the last few days im wondering if im prelabouring. Only having braxton hicks on and off and cervix pains which has helped my cervix open and soften but other than that this baby is all too comfortable.

I was meant to be productive over the wkend but didn't achieve everything i set out to do which frustrates me. My arm is still sore from the boostrix injection. Im having an iron infusion later today as Hb dropped to 100 and iron stores still low im praying i feel better and can do backflips on the way out 😂😂

Taytum i feel like i need to vent Breastfeeding is really very hard. My shoulders r sore already. Blocked ducts hurts a lot. Baby doesnt sleep at night more than 45 mins max. I havent slept in last 9'days. I m so stressed out seriously. I m so used to of running all errands outside that now i feel stuck at home. I hope this phase pass soon. I want to enjoy my Little lady [emoji17]

I am so sorry that ur having to go through this taytum and boyz. Men really can be so insensitive !!

Why not try pumping and feeding through bottle. This can give u ladies a little break and even hubby can feed a bottle or 2 so u can nap etc. Thats what i am doing sincevi go back to work in like 2 weeks. Hubby and i tookbour 4 weeks annual time off separately so when i will go to work his 4 weeks off will start

You're so right Boyz, breastfeeding is so hard. Part of me wonders if I'd feel so confined and upset if I wasn't breastfeeding. I didn't want to in the beginning, but the sheer cost of formula has scared me into keeping it up until I go back to work. I only like the bonding with him - I hate everything else about it!!

Sounds like your DH might think that by taking the older boys he's helping you out? My DH doesn't help out at night since there's not much for him to do since I'm breastfeeding. And he wakes up in the morning and takes him so I can eat breakfast. My hardest time is from like 5-8pm. I really need a break then. You need some sleep girl. Even if that means DH gives one bottle at night so you can catch a few consecutive hours of sleep. I hope you get some relief soon.

Hope you feel better soon netti! Is boostrix the tdap injection? My arm was SO SORE for a few days after! Yikes!

Blue: I hate pumping! [emoji37] I have a small stash built up for when DH and I go out, but I try not to pump because I feel like after I nurse him I pump and not a whole lot comes out since he just fed. So then I feel like that was a waste of my time and cleaning pumps and bottles and then I'm worried about oversupplying myself and mastitis or more clogged ducts. I feel like it takes more time after to devote to pumping and I'm already feeling like a slave to my boobies! I love the idea of pumping and DH giving a bottle but the work that goes into it seems so much more daunting than just doing it myself.

Hoping tomorrow is a new day!
