I have had severe carpal tunnel/numb hands since pregnancy which become significantly worse post Partum when I started breast feeding. Now I am also have a burning/tearing tendon pain also in my legs as well. OB and LC both said it is hormonal and I am getting sent to a hand specialist..I wanted to see if anyone else had these issues and how did you manage them? Not being able to feel my LO with my hands has been a bit tough. I want to keep breast feeding but goodness it’s hard to see light at the end of the tunnel right now.
Pic so my post doesn’t get lost.

FTM Needs help 😅
Hi everyone! My baby is a little less than 72 hours old. We were latching in the hospital and nursing just fine (I assumed). Her birth weight was 6lbs 14oz and at 24 hours she was 6lbs 9oz, but she was passing her dirty diaper requirements and the hospital pediatrician was happy with how things were. Fast forward to today, she had her first pediatrician appointment outside of the hospital and she weighs in at 6lbs 6oz and the doctor believes she’s not getting enough as she’s had 2 episodes of nursing on and off frequently for 2 hours without appearing satisfied. She wants me to offer formula after each feeding and pump frequently in between latching until my supply comes in - still just producing colostrum currently. Any advice or encouragement? I feel like I’m failing her already 😭

Hi, everyone. This is my 12.5 week old, 9lb 3oz bean. She’s been small since birth. Her dad and I are not blessed with any height genetics. She is exclusively fed breast milk. The doctors said that the way she is eating is perfectly fine but EVERYONE else has their opinion, either saying I’m overfeeding her or I’m not providing enough nutrients for her.
She latches 2-3 times a day now that I’m back to work. On top of that, she eats around 35-40oz from a bottle. She still cluster feeds. She never spits up or seems sick. She’s just a hungry girl.
I don’t know. I guess I just want to hear what everyone else has to say because our family and friends are now getting into his head saying it’s too much.

Really struggling - 8 days pp
I am 8 days pp, had an unplanned c-section and my girl spent 5 days in NICU for sugar issues. She was born 37+4. During the time in NICU, she was getting donor milk and doing great. I was pumping every 3 hours and started to get my colostrum (more than just drops) on day 3-4. We got discharged home on day 5, and she’s been doing great as I have donor breast milk.
She feeds every 2-3 hours, and we’re triple feeding as I’m trying to get my milk in. But it’s just not coming in. I did have a pp hemorrhage during my section, and am taking iron, but know that can affect milk coming in and supply.
On top of my milk not in, she’s really not great at the breast. She will suckle and I can hear audible swallowing, feel my letdown in my other breast and if I use a collector on the other side, I’ll get around an ounce. But, after the breast, she’ll chug a 2oz bottle so I know she isn’t satiated from the breast alone. I’m sure it’s a combo of her not being efficient , not wanting to work for it and that there’s just no milk there.
I’m pumping every 3 hours to tell my body to hurry up, we need milk, but it’s just not doing much of anything. I’ll get maybe 1/5-1oz per side if I pump, lots of time
less.
I’m at a total loss, feeling extremely discouraged and upset and not sure what to do. I do have lactation coming today for a visit, where I know she doesn’t transfer much at the breast but I just don’t know what to do. I never had this issue with my son.
Looking for words of encouragement, advice, people in similar situations or anything. I REALLY don’t want to give up, but not sure what else I can be doing.

5 week old sleeping issues
Anyone else’s 5 week old go through a “sleep regression”? I know it’s not a true sleep regression but every since this weekend when we traveled to visit family and she didn’t sleep well in the pack n play, she has been having trouble sleeping for more than an hour or two at a time. For reference, she’s made it in 2.5-4 hr stretches at night since we brought her home and would regularly sleep 2-3 hrs at a time during the day although she would sometimes stay up for up to 4 hrs at a time. She never had sleeping issues before this. Now I’m lucky if she makes it 2 hrs at night, lately it’s been closer to only an hour and she will only sleep for maybe 1/2 an hr in her crib at a time during the day while still being up for hours at a time. I know she’s overly tired because she will sometimes cry and scream for no other reason and it’s hard to soothe her but I truly don’t know how to help her. The only way she will sleep any longer is if we’re holding her but i don’t want her to get used to it so that she will still sleep in her crib like before. Side note- she’s not eating any less,slightly more than last week and is gaining weight really well.

Hey moms, I need help 😭💔
My 9-month-old baby girl is SO attached to the breast. She’ll sleep around 10 hours at night, but out of those 10 hours, I swear she’s latched on for almost 7 of them on and off. 😭 We cosleep, and we live in a really small space, so unfortunately we don’t have much room to work with when it comes to getting her to sleep separately.
I love my baby girl more than anything, but I’m at the point where I absolutely HATE breastfeeding. 😭 Anytime she gets sleepy, she will ONLY fall asleep on the b**b. If I unlatch her, she wakes up and cries so much. I’ve tried letting her cry to see if she’ll eventually settle without it, but she just gets more and more worked up, wakes herself completely up, and then won’t go back to sleep.
And before anyone suggests a pacifier or bottle I have tried AT LEAST 10 different pacifiers and she refuses every single one. Now that she has teeth, she just chews on them instead of sucking on them. 🤦‍♀️ She also will NOT take a bottle if she is sleepy. Trust me, I’ve tried! 😩
I’m exhausted, touched out, and I just want my body back. 🥹 I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever breastfeed another baby after this experience.
Has anyone had a baby THIS attached to nursing for sleep? How did you slowly get them off the b**b, especially at night, without hours of crying? Please tell me there’s hope because this mama is TIRED. 😭

Alright I’m truly starting to panic. I am on my 3rd baby and have never had an issue breastfeeding or really with my supply at all. This time around my baby girl was in the PICU for seizures at birth and wasn’t able to start nursing until about 2 weeks old. I don’t think the latch is the problem, I just think because of what she’s been through and being fed through a tube for so long (first was just IV then she was intubated) she is maybe just a lazy feeder? She drinks perfectly from a bottle and always has. She will sometimes nurse just fine but sometimes she refuses all together, whether I’m full or not. And if she latches ok at first as soon as my milk slows down she gets frustrated and I switch to a bottle. She will still drink 2-3 oz after nursing sometimes. She is almost 12 weeks, and I have a small stash from when she was in the hospital but I’ve been pulling milk from the stash basically everyday now and I am running really low. I need all the tips on pumping and increasing supply because I’m only getting 2-3oz per pump every 2-3 hours and she is drinking 3-4oz at least and sometimes more. I am eating protein oat balls, drinking coconut water and cowboy colostrum. I am pumping and still trying to latch if not every 2-3 hours except at night, she sometimes goes 5-6 hour stretches sleeping.
Please help. I want to exclusively breastfeed but pumping at the least! Prayers are always welcome, we are still recovering from everything as well. 🤍 picture of my sweet Penelope so I don’t get lost

1 week pp milk came in about 3 days ago since then i’ve been latching baby and feeding on demand . i swap b**bs during feedings, on the other side when he’s latched i pump with spectra s2 this has always been the output with 25 min is this indicating ill be an under supplier 😭 im terrified he won’t take a bottle he was immediately latched after birth so im just having anxiety… i’ve also been playing around with flanges & this remains the same output

Back with results, been power pumping twice a day at the same time consistently for the last week, wanted to see if it was going to increase my output for my regular pumping sessions and guess what? IT DID!!!! I went from pumping 1-3 oz per session to 4 oz consistently without having to power pump to get that much. I was actually able to build up a pretty decent supply over the last 3 days as a just-enough producer. 🩷 hopefully this helps anyone else who may be struggling and considering power pumping. It took a week but doing it at the same time every day consistently increased my overall supply and hopefully it will for other moms too.

Worst clogged duct ever
So Ive been mainly breastfeeding now besides at night cause breast feeding usually makes me go low (I have type 1 diabetes) so I pump at night well I pumped at 5am today fell back asleep until 11am got up and had to go out quickly before husband went to work DIDNT PUMP UNTIL 1pm and now I have the worst clogged duct ever. Its so incredibly sore ive been doing cold compress and sunflower lecithin and hoping my daughter can unlodge it... im pretty sure its clear now but theres still some swelling and lots of pain? Wondering if thats normal. I have redness on that spot too but I dont have any flu like symptoms or a fever etc.. and I think the redness is from putting the ice pack on my skin directly and massaging the area. Idk this is my first time experiencing it like this and need some advice I know once this clears im never being that dumb AGAIN and im pumping no matter what 😭😭 i think im gonna call my Dr tomorrow regardless and see if he can prescribe me with antibiotics if im not feeling better by tomorrow or the pain hasn't subsided at least a little.
Picture of my little one so I dont get lost... plus shes cute ❤️
