How old is LO? 1 month tomorrow!! Where did the time go?!?!

How's everything going?
Pretty good!

Questions/concerns/cute stories to share?
Just a vent really- he eats on demand during the day- every 2-3 hours depending on how long he naps and nurses on both sides and then cluster feeds before bed. I cannot for the life of me get him to nurse on both sides at night and it’s killing me because he only goes 1 1/2 - 2hrs max at night. He will nurse and fall asleep so I’ll change his diaper and he will be wide awake so I offer the other side and he just purses his lips and then falls back asleep. The rare times he nurses on both sides he will give me a 3hr stretch. I know there’s nothing I can do, because he’s stubborn but I needed to let it out

0-1mo:
What positions/props are working for you?
Mostly cross-cradle and using the boppy pillow. I don’t “need” it but my arms get tired after a while.

What are you struggling with? Clogged ducts but only if I wear a tight tank top with built in bra. The worst part is my boobs are just sore but there is no obvious clog to work out. I highly recommend the Lansinoh Thera-pearl though.

If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH?

I’ll go back in 2 months, I need to start pumping daily to get a good stash!

GTKY: any New Year resolutions?
Putting the phone down more, cooking at home and getting more organized.
