Any particular thoughts on a sudden increase in projectile spit up or normal?
Nothing has really changed, he's going through a slightly fussy while feeding stage again so I'm thinking he's swallowing more air?
He's not unhappy or uncomfortable with the spit up it just sort of comes out lol
Maybe it has something to do with him sitting up and moving around more? I've noticed when DD rolls on her belly and/or sits up and squishes her tummy, she spits up more?

hi ladies - daycare today told me i probably needed to go up a nipple size for DS's bottles. he is using a size 1 currently. my issue is that he is still doing the thing where he is crying at the breast after nursing for a couple of minutes. I'm not sure why he is doing this but it could be that he is frustrated that milk is coming out slower and i don't want to make it worse by switching his to faster flow nipple on his bottles - what are your thoughts? I did give him a bottle earlier and he seemed a bit frustrated but it.
@katieisoptimstic why did they think he needs a bigger nipple size? Just getting frustrated? If he seems to be getting frustrated at the breast, I'd be really hesitant to move up. For reference, I only ever used level 0/preemie size with my DS. Could it be a temperature thing with the bottle?
They said it takes him a really long time to drink a bottle and he gets frustrated. But i agree, i am scared to make him even more frustrated at the breast.
kateisoptimistic , What kind of bottle do you send to daycare? brand? Maybe try a "slow flow" of a faster brand. know what I mean? so it's not SO fast?
We use Dr Browns
What if you try a Avent level 1? It's faster than Dr. Brown's 1, but slower than Dr. Brown's level 2!
Well, EYE OPENING!!! I just found out that when my mom was younger and of child bearing age, she was diagnosed with "Mammary Hypoplasia" of the right breast. She had a hard time producing enough milk for ALL 4 of her kids. She just never thought of it affecting ME bc I was "able" to feed DS1 for a full year. Yeah mom, with A TON of struggle and A SHIT TON of Domperidone!!! So after reading up more on "Insufficient Glandular Tissue" and "mammary Hypoplasia, I am pretty damn sure I fit the description TO A T! only for the right side, maybe slightly on the left side, but it's no wonder pumping has been such a struggle. Also explains why my boobs never changed much during pregnancy, why I was never really engorged (never engorged on the right side) and why only part of my right breast is ever slightly full. I really only get milk from one part of my right breast and it's totally odd looking when there IS milk in there and even more odd looking when there is NO milk in there.
Since I don't plan on having more kids, I don't know that I will ever go looking for an official diagnosis. But it is because of this "condition" that my mom got a boob job. Bc after trying to feed 4 children, she had zero boobs left and they were "cone shaped" as she described. Yeah, mom, I know exactly what you mean by "cone shaped". My AA cup size is exactly that. two small cones, one much smaller than the other!!!
At least now I know it wasn't for lack of trying and that no matter how many herbs or supplements or medication I take, my boob(s) just don't have the glandular capacity to make milk (or at least it's highly likely). I wonder how a true diagnosis is made!

There is a great FB group for low supply and IGT. They have tons of info.

Hmmm that does sound like a flow issue but maybe because he's used to it being faster from the bottle if they weren't always pace feeding. I'm with you that I'd be hesitant because he's already frustrated at the breast. Maybe someone else can offer more/better advice.
I agree. I would not switch. If he is already fussy at the breast it is really risky for complete breast refusal. DC will just have to deal.

So lately pumping sucks. I have (had) an over supply. Before going back to work, I was pumping 6-11 oz extra a day. I had about a month with no problems. Now I'm lucky to get 12-16 to cover bottles. My nipples hurt when I pump or BF.
At this point, I'm targeting 6 months and then I'll reassess. The freezer stash would get him to seven. I'm seriously regretting that I donated any milk.
Sorry k3am. That sucks. I could never donate for that reason. But you helped a mommy provide BM for her baby that otherwise would not have gotten any at all! ❤️

Afm, lefty has about dried up. It rallied briefly due to mega pumping but now it's back down to 1/4 ounce a day no matter what. Extra pumping, extra water etc. DS all but refuses it completely now. He gets so frustrated with it that I need to bounce and rock him for awhile before he calms enough to nurse on the right side. 😩 I know when I was first bfing I was able to pump an ounce so I worry that I did something that screwed up that side or that's why DS has weight issues
Feeling everyone's pain on the pumping situation! Little miss eats about 20 oz per day at daycare, I can pump 16ish on a good day (this includes work, morning pump, night pump, and usually an overnight pump. I had 400 oz stashed and have gone through most of it. No problems on weekends and daycare is not over feeding, my boobs just hate the pump 😢

Don't regret it, such an awesome thing to do! Being a working mom is so tough (for so many reasons) but at the end of the day we do the absolute best we can!
k3am, hugs and commiseration!!! I'm right there with you! Just hoping to make it to 6mo At this point.
Am trying to join the facebook mentioned above and the admin "screening my app" just REALLY pissed me off. Making assumptions about my health and history that are just uncalled for!

I'm sorry! I joined the group years ago before any screening process. It's a really good group though. Tons of info. I promise!

Do you think that spit up means the baby is full? Or are they unrelated?
I'll still join, if she approves me. I am just not a fan of someone telling me I don't have mammary hypoplasia bc of XYZ. If my doctor says I have it, then I probably have it. And it's not in her place to say I do or don't have it and she should know better than to say things like "but have you tried...". Especially after I gave her a detailed explanation of what I have tried! She said I have to give Dom a try again. No. no I don't.
I'm wondering if they have the screen process to keep advertisers out. I know sometimes they infiltrate groups with these "OMG guise this thing totally Solved my problem"
When I joined some adoption info groups on fb we used to get agencies joining to advertise so they switched to screening new members
k3am, that's the word I used to describe her to my hubs! mrssqueegy, I don't know that I'll be approved as part of the group. I probably just pissed her off by telling her she was rude and presumptuous, and that really it's up to my physicians or NPs to ascertain my diagnosis.
