runnershan I was a DD before and one of the things I found helpfully was pulling her feet towards me and kind of having her head a little further away so that her nose is away from my boob. I also lean a little bit towards my back. I hope that makes sense? Learning to nurse on my side has been a life saver at night. Good luck!
This. I'm currently (and always have been, unfortunately,) a DD.
Same here. Or bigger I still haven't actually gone in to get measured. I definitely wasn't one of the women excited to go up a bra size or two during/after pregnancy.
runnershan, thank you! I'll have to look into mother's milk too if the fenugreek doesn't cut it. Do you get a certain type online somewhere, or do they carry it in stores? I don't have any good advice for sidelying breastfeeding since I've never had any luck with it, but I hope it works out for you! It's always great to get those longer stretches of sleep!
millm0m, I'm so sorry for your loss. T&P for you and your family!
ladybird and catlady22, thank you for the info! I'm going to order one tonight!
zengalkaimee27pixie523 Thanks! We are settling in pretty well, I think. Almost have a new normal.
kfaye It seems okay so far- MIL is sending me smiley pictures every so often. I'll be back Sunday night, as long as this snow storm doesn't cancel my flight!
wildflower810 Mine was just about as upset when we were out for four hours! Only took 3 oz the whole night! She's better now on Dr Brown's. Hopefully your guy finds what he likes.
millm0m So sorry for your family's loss. Hopefully some baby smiles can soften heartache a bit.
millm0m - sorry for your loss. She was so young. kaimee27 - look for Traditional Medicinals Mothers Milk tea if you're on Amazon.
All the mommas who have to step out without LO - hugs. I haven't done that since Thanksgiving. LO is bottle fed by both of us, so hopefully won't give her dad too much trouble next week when I need to run around getting things ready for back to work.
Thanks guys. We actually heard from the DPS officer that worked the accident that she fell asleep driving. It was 8:30 in the morning. We all know sleep deprivation too well, so be careful y'all.
Thank you all for the tips on BFing while side lying!! I'll try them out and hopefully I can get it!
millm0m I'm so sorry about your cousin. That's terrble.
kaimee27 I buy it on Amazon. The brand is Traditional Medicinals Organic Mothers Milk tea. I think it's kind of an acquired taste but I've gotten used to it. It's very fennel/licorice flavored. I usually put a little honey in it and it helps with the taste. But if you like licorice flavor you'll love the tea!

Also try the tea at different temperatures. Sometimes room temp without honey is more appealing than hot with honey. I've never tried it ice cold. Maybe if the weather warms up. I'm not a fennel/licorice fan but I've gotten used to the flavor.
