re: KICKING AND SCREAMING 18

I feel selfish but I want to stop nursing.   then yet I don't bc I love the bond I have with her. There has to be a happy medium somewhere?

That's my plan. I know I won't be able to wait until the birth, so I'm having them write it down, and I'm sending the results to someone else. Then around 32 weeks I'll be having a gender reveal, and will find out what it is.

Can you pump? Or, can you supplement? But, if you supplement, your supply will go down. Supplementing is a good way to gradually wean your LO though.

If I don't pass that test tomorrow, I'll have to take an extra semester of college.  

Gone.........

You can be strong. I know we don't talk or anything, but I have the same desire sometimes.   It's hard to fight through, but I'm here to listen if you need it...

I can't help but feel like I'm acting like a spoiled little brat, but his mom always does this to me. Why in the smurf would I want to marry him if I'm never going to be an equal with his mom? If I wanted a momma's boy, I would've stood with Julian. At least he would come home every night after cheating, and wouldn't do smurf to get locked up.

If you don't trust yourself, you either need to take yourself to a hospital or crisis center, or you need to call 911

Thanks. There's not much to talk about. I'm just a POS mother and wife. I accept it now and everyone would be better off without me.

I only ever get 1.5-2 oz combined when I pump. No matter when or how often I pump. Ive tried pumping after every feeding, I've tried pumping certain set times a day. I've upped my supply. I used to never leak and thanks to oatmeal I do now. I soak now so I know there is more milk.

I don't trust myself so I'm sitting under a sheet right now listening to music trying to tune everything out. Not working as well as I hopped. It just makes me cry harder and harder for some reason.

I severely doubt that anyone would be better off without you. Why are you thinking you're a bad wife and mother? It may be depression causing you to think that way.

Then you need to seek some help. Google crisis centers in your area, and go to one, or call 911 like I said.

Does LO eat from both sides? Do you leak while LO is nursing? Try pumping the available boob when you're nursing. Since one side's let down has already been triggered, the other side will be triggered as well. I used to pump like that and get 4 oz.

Ah Zachary Bennett, I love your voice.
