Can you tell me about the 3 month growth spurt? DS2 isn't nursing more often but he wants to nurse for a long time. And he's on and off a million times. If I take him away from the breast he screams. I can't figure him out. Of course I'm paranoid that my supply has dropped.
This has been DS lately and it's been destroying my nipples. My pumping output has been the same and the times I've done weighted feeds he been about the usual. :/
Spurting here too. He wants to nurse all the time and his longest stretch was 4 instead of 6hoirs last night. He nursed so much during the day that I got more at night. He's also spitting up more. Pulls off often and then goes back.

This is us too! My pumping has been the same but I haven't done any weighed feeds. He wiggles too much on the scale for it to be accurate for me. I'll bet it's fine. I hope.

Right??? Also doesn't want to nap anywhere but the boob!
I fell into a google black hole about yeast infections and of course dr. Google has me convinced I have a yeast infection.
I did the same thing this afternoon, but now the weird sensation is gone so I'm not so sure.
My sensations are still there but I feel sort of like its a "which came first chicken or the egg?"'type question. Which of my "symptoms" are actually symptoms and not issues because DS is being hard on my nipples by pulling off and tugging? Or is his pulling off and tugging symptoms as well? Lol
I figure I'll call my doctor Monday if things don't feel any better. See if they think I should come in lol

I was dealing with this a couple weeks ago. DD was super distracted and was like playing with my nipples by pulling them and turning her head a lot and they hurt. Everything is normal now so hopefully that happens for you too and it's not a yeast infection!

Yeah if it was just my nipples I'd assume it's just DS being rough. But my whole breast is sort of tender but I don't have any red spots or rashes or anything. I've been sleeping topless becAuse of how uncomfortable my nipple is. And that breast feels "heavy" and almost Engorged all the time eve if I just nursed DS or pumped. Also pumping hurts too.
But again do all these things just bother me because DS can't just latch and nurse but has to keep twisting and yanking? Lol
I nursed on the wrong side during the middle of the night. I woke up with a rock hard boob lol pumping 1 side at 6am - not what I want to be doing on a Saturday

I had to feed a bottle at his bedtime tonight because my boobs were just NOT giving him anything. He was SO frustrated and it makes me sad I know it's only one night, but I feel like I'm about to have supply issues. So i'm drinking a beer and pumping now. And i'm getting almost nothing....

Aww so sorry! Try not to stress yet. It will only make the situation worse. I had that happen a few times with A and it came back way faster if I didn't stress. Have you gotten your period back yet? That could be a factor as well.
I have nights like that too... I try to let her suckle as much as possible and give her a bottle eventually. Then let her nurse more and power pump for an hour... The next day is usually better...
I've never had an yeast infection of the boobs, but have heard the entire boob hurts but the nipples hurt like cut glass!
The entire boob aches and feels sort of engorged all the time. When he latches my nipple hurts horribly. And sometimes even the frabric of the shirt hurts. :/
Also I have something going on down below. Boo. I should go to the doctor for that if nothing else.
+1 during 3m growth spurt baby I nursed constantly and for a few days would almost only nap while latched. I was his human paci for a few days. Everything is temporary and he's back to his usual self now.

How frustrating! Hopefully it picks back up tomorrow!

Thank you for thinking of me No bottles today and he is down for the "night". Last night, despite the 2oz bottle, he woke up at 11:30pm! I'm curious to see what time he wakes up tonight, but also keep reminding myself that sleep is in large part developmental. He went to bed VERY full though, straight from the source! I'm hoping for a 1:30-2am wake up....or even later!!!!

Are you guys still using your Brestfriend pillows/boppies?
We went through a stage where DS seemed to prefer me not to use it at around 6-8 weeks. We did a lot of laid back nursing. Then he decided he liked it again.
Now we use it but if I'm sitting too close to something that he can kick off of he will practically kick himself off the pillow. 😂

Yes we will us our Brestfriend, teraiin. I can get a better latch and position with it still. I don't need it if we go out but I use it at home all the time.

We still use the boppy... Mainly to prop him up so he can look around while I pump. It's the difference between a calm and screaming kid. No nursing with it though.
