I'm working part time. We are poor I don't know what the fucking answer is
I want to add that I work part time because it's more cost effective for us than daycare
I know so many moms that work part time to stay in the game but that just break even on taxes and childcare and don't actually take home any money. Then if you go up to full time, taxes go up and you end up losing money. The system is broken.
Anyways, I'm all for short shorts, but those are underwear.
TOU?

Oh I thought since there was no face visible it was okay. I'll poof now just in case.
My BF mommas- did you rotate breast each feeding or offer both each feed? I feel new and the BF board is pretty much gone.
Rotate because T seems satisfied after one. If he isn't satisfied after one I'll offer the other but that's pretty rare and if it does happen it's during his witching hour. Does your DS seem satisfied after one?

Depends on the kid, if he's satisfied after one breast it's fine to rotate, but I would at least offer the second breast and see if he takes it. There's no right or wrong way.. Mostly I did both. offered both but also rotate which breast I start the feeding with.
My babies were completely different as newborns. DD1 would have been happy to go from one side, to the other, to the other, to the other all day long, using me as a pacifier if I let. DD2 would barely latch on to one breast and fall asleep almost immediately. I ended up having to pump and feed her through a tube the first month until she gained enough strength to nurse directly from the breast. Could not have been more different.

He does seem satisfied. I just couldn't remember if there was a time limit when I should switch and offer the other or if letting him stay on one the whole time was okay. I had some production issues with DD so I'm trying hard to avoid that again.

Hmm I'm not sure. You definitely don't want to post someone's face and that they are recognizable without their permission but that was just a booty. We post pics of celebs faces all the time so idk that it's against TOU.

I think 10 minutes and the switch if you want. Maybe it's less. Honestly I forget the time limit because I haven't needed it this time around. I did with Clara but that was whole other bigger thing in itself. With T he would eat for like 2 minutes - 5 minutes until about 1 month (I think) then jumped to 10. Just now at 2 months is he maybe going 15 minutes depending on how long it has been since he ate but for the most part he is done at 10 minutes on one side. I thought this meant he was a lazy eater. Nope apparently this is totally normal and he is just an efficient eater, lol! Do you get to go see LC? They are huge helps!

but celebs pics are on the internet already, you're just reposting them. Not the same.. I'm not about to report jennyinheaven or anything, that pic was hilarious; but if I was her neighbor I would be seriously upset.

Why don't you post this on the BF board and we'll come talk to you over there, keep that board going. I don't know what I would have done without the BF board when I had a newborn.

Yeah I didn't really think about it. I just saw that display last night, immediately thought of you guys and wanted to share
Doll15 I always offer both because one side produces significantly more than the other so if I just offered that one side I feel like she wouldn't be getting enough. If you had production issues last time I would definitely offer both to keep your supply up.
It also depends on your boobs. I have an overproducer and an underproducer. If I give him the big boob- he won't ask for the second one and my second one will tank. If I give him the little one, he wants the big after. Best thing to do is trust yourself and your body and your instincts Doll15. Listen for those gulps after the letdown and know that baby is fed. Day 7-10 is much easier than these first few days and those blisters will be gone. Check in with an LC for latch issues and ties this week as well just to get a head start.
I think it depends on your boobs and your kid. I never switched during each feeding. After 10 minutes she was either full or asleep. And if she wasn't full and I switched then she wouldn't re latch. So I would offer the other boob the next sitting and if uncomfortable I'd pump a little. But she was never a big eater. One way to keep track of sides is to use a hairtie on your wrist for the side that you should start. That might help you if you can't always remember.
Thank you ladies. I lchecked with my lactation consultant at hospital but she is only available by phone this week and appt. next week.
I did post this on the BF board but there isn't anyone really left there.
Just having someone watch baby eat and tell you you're doing a great job will go far. Check in by phone and ask any questions and make an appt for next week.
