I sure wish my right side could share the load of milk production with my left as she is doing all the work! Sheās has her days where she is ambitious but for the most part just lazy ![]()
I see a gorgeous aesthetic photo , I knew this has to be you.
I thought the top of my bed was giving a vibe I needed to capture ![]()
Okay righty! Itās time for you to step up lazy girl!![]()
Am I guessing correctly that your son prefers to nurse from the right side, and maybe thatās why it produces less? I know thatās the case for me
Thatās absolutely correct he prefers to nurse from the left I still make him give ol right side some attention just to wake her up from her slumber ![]()
From her slumber! ![]()
My girl plops into my lap for righty, and itās a battle to get her on the other side. The struggle is real
The struggle is real! He gagged when he tried my other and I swear heās just being dramatic or funny because he laughed right after that hahah
Oh my goodness! Thatās too funny! Mine does the gagging thing too. I think that means the milk is coming out too fast.
Mine is the opposite my left is the slacker ![]()
Yeah I was told that too!! But I usually express a little before so that doesnāt happen but I might not be doing a good enough job
I donāt see a lot of right side slackers !!!
One thing you can do is lay down and have your baby lay on top of you to nurse. That way gravity is helping prevent it from coming out as fast. It feels so weird at first, but you get used to it
How do you keep baby from not smooshing their face??? I have kinda tried it on accident and he seems to always faceplant and Iām scared he canāt breathe
You just have to get their head to tilt to the side a little bit. And if thereās suction going on, he can breathe. I used to get nervous about that and still do sometimes. Then Iām like oh wait, she wouldnāt be able to nurse if she couldnāt breathe. Just be careful not to fall asleep
Ohhhh I guess thatās a good point !! But he likes holds his breath and then comes up for air like heās diving under water or something! But like you said maybe i can get him to tilt his head a bit! Thats great advice
Oh no! Thatās scary that heās holding his breath like that! But yeah, as long as one nostril is uncovered enough to get a little air, he will be able to breath ok
Okay Iām going to give it a shot! Heās been really into just rolling around and being wild while feeding so hopefully I can get him to stay in one spot ![]()
THANKYOU so much ![]()
Good luck getting him to stay still. Mine is all over the place too. She finds some weird nursing positions. Upside down is the wildestā¦it feels so weird too!
Youāre welcome! Hopefully it will work for yall
