How old is LO? 1 month! How's everything going? Going good still using the nipple shield. Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? We have a concert on Saturday. I am kind of deading it since I won't have a way to pump and will be away from G for 6+ hours. I feel like I'm gonna be super uncomfortable and possibly leaking everywhere. Am I crazy to even try to go that long? 0-1mo:Is this your first experience BF? Nope, Bf'd both my girls. What's one reason why you want to BF? It's easy and convenient 1-3mo: Getting through growth spurts okay? Yea, cluster feeds are hard as they happen during bedtime routine with the girls. If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? Sah, but pump for my big kids. It's going swell. GTKY: what's the worst vacation you've been on? Camping in October in the snow.

lildiamondeyes that's a long time this early, when milk supply is still regulating. Get a manual pump; they're fairly cheap and small and less of a hassle. You can have a little backpack with the manual pump, an insulated lunch box, an ice pack, and medela quick clean wipes - that was my on the go pump kit. (ETA: or just the pump with one bottle in your purse, dump the milk) Barring that, learn to hand express and expect to do that in the bathroom sink or toilet in case of emergency. You don't want to be miserable with super engorged leaking boobs all day. You don't want a day of engorgement to lead to clogs & mastitis & supply drop. Instruction starts at 1:30 in this video: med.stanford.edu/newborns/professional-education/breastfeeding/hand-expressing-milk.html

lily I called the venue to enquire about a exception to the no reentry policy. They are trying to work with me and will call me back with a solution. Fx I can leave and then come back in. Otherwise I will be camped out in a bathroom stall hand expressing. Dh did offer to help me with that

How old is LO? 1 wk 5 days
How's everything going?Good. I ended up with a kidney infection and my supply dropped but once the fever broke and I started antibiotics I have slowly recovered.
Questions/concerns/cute stories to share?Baby poop is green and sweet, I thought yellow was what we were looking for. It maybe I read into everything too much. He is definitely growing, everyone comments on how much he's grown in the last week.
Is this your first experience BF? No, you'd think so with how much I've forgotten but I nursed DD- she is a little over 3 years old.
What's one reason why you want to BF? I like the health benefits for the both of us as well as the convenience. Getting through growth spurts okay? I think he is going through one. He will cluster feed a whole bunch and then seems super sleepy. We are managing okay.
If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? Returning to work in August, will start pumping in mid July.
GTKY: what's the worst vacation you've been on? Las Vegas 2007. I was holed up in my room throwing up with a stomach flu for majority of the trip. Yuck. It's one of the times I can remember be most sick.

ccp glad you're feeling better and your supply is recovering. If LO is peeing and pooping plenty, growing, meeting milestones, and happy then don't worry about the green poop. Not every baby has textbook poop. If miserable more than not and/or not growing then it could be a different discussion.
