Hi @calvingirl! Congrats on the arrival of Phoebe. Trying to go bald and catch up on all posts and pics, but if you could nudge me in the right direction of a pic of little phoebe, I’d appreciate it.

Yeah breastfeeding is hard work. We’re 7 weeks in and have a pretty good grasp on it, but some days I’m still ready to throw in the towel and just move to pumping exclusively. I’m still trying to learn her queues and understand when she’s really done and not just taking a break or when she’s still hungry VS just wanting to suck or is tired. She has her moments, especially during night feeds where she’s just fussing at the breast and I’m not sure what she wants. But the moments in between when we’ve got it all down and figured out, I love breastfeeding so much.

Hang in there and good luck. You’re doing your best. That plus ensuring she’s fed regardless of the method, is all that matters. Have you tried power pumping to increase supply? Apologies if I missed something

I love that all you mommies with new bundles are still checking in on here. It really warms my heart. It also reminds me of all the things I forgot since my last one was born 10years ago. I'm so excited for this! I already feel more prepared now than I ever have been before just hearing about how you ladies are doing. Thank you for that!

Oh Neomasie and skellynet190 hug3 congratulations to you too. Hope all is well with everyone. Happy New year to everyone for later! Nancy is now 5.5 weeks going so fast she's huge now almost 11 pounds. I will catch up again with everyone once the kids are back at school. Love to you all
