What is something you wish you'd known about BF from day 1? I wish I new to get ds checked for tongue tie and also wish I was eating lactation stimulating foods before my his birth. Maybr that would have helped us get off to a better start.

-2 weeks tomorrow

-nursing only

-this is my 5th baby I have nursed. If I could ever figure out how to make my body not over produce that would be great. I have read/tried it all. Block nursing, Sudafed, sage tea, cabbage, no pumping, blah blah The only thing that works is time.

- the look of a sweet sleeping nursing baby.

I don't really go here, but lily (I am assuming you were previously known as lilylayne? Ignore this if not lol), I just wanted to thank you for all the help/advice you gave me in troubleshooting my boobs a few months ago. I found out that I have insufficient glandular tissue, and I decided to stop trying to breastfeed. But I can't thank you enough for giving me ideas to try, etc. I feel more at peace with everything knowing that I tried my damndest. You're the real MVP

How old is your LO? 10 months

What is something you wish you'd known about BF from day 1? How difficult pumping would be (for me). I wish I had gotten the Milkies Milk Savers earlier.

What's a BF moment you hope you never forget? Their first, and last nursing session. DS1 weaned when he was 25 months ( I was 6 months pregnant). I remember thinking "I'm sure this will be his last latch" for some reason. And it was. It was bitter sweet. I hope I get that moment when B weans.

Questions/AW? Not at the moment!
