Hi! I’m back!!
Although I thoroughly intend to write my birth story when I’m ready, I just finished my first piece since the baby arrived so in celebration, I’ll pair it with something useful.
I really appreciated posts like this while I was pregnant so here goes:
Things I didn’t know I needed:
(AKA things I have frantically ordered on amazon at or around 2am)
•Bottle Drying Rack This probably seems obvious, but when we didn’t get this from our showers we were like... idk why we can’t just use a towel??
•Safe way to cosleep My husband built a BEAUTIFUL Sidecar Crib, but it was attached on my side of the bed and it took 2.5 weeks for me to have healed enough to climb in bed around it safely with the baby. This way, I didn’t have to bend over to pick up baby or even spit up to check on/soothe him.
•Lactation Suppliment My lactation consultant approved. This one worked well in my breakfast tea.
•Better flanges My poor nipples were so sore and the flames that come with the Medela... well I’m not sure who they’re supposed to fit but not me. My doula practically ordered these for me. GAME CHANGER.
•Pumping bra I was cutting holes in sports bras. This is better.
•Nipple Shells Another kind reddittor sent me in the direction of this AMAZING INVENTION after I posted a photo of ice packs tied to my nipples with a burp cloth because I refused to wear a shirt my nipples hurt so bad. I will be purchasing these for EVERY PREGNANT WOMAN FOREVER. They keep your nipples dry, collect drips, apply counter pressure to keep your nipples shaped correctly for latching, and most importantly omg nothing touches the precious nips and you can wear a shirt!!
•Car mirror
Me: that seems extra, he’s in a car seat and safe why would I need a mirror??
Hormones; HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH YOU FOOL
•Car adapter for my breast pump Cheaper than batteries
•Shade for his side of the car because anything that wakes up my sleeping baby is the devil. This one has a bonus that allowed me to roll the window down and it was HOT in the south
•Better suction for the breast pump Again- just better than whatever they send you
•My Breast Friend we got the boppy but this one saved my back
•Heating pad Turns out I’ll do ANYTHING to keep the baby asleep when I transfer him to his crib including preheat the darn thing (on low!) before I lay home down
•Stroller Caddy You’ll want somewhere to put your keys, phone, and coffee
•Baby K’tan An easier way for my husband to wear the baby.
•Leggings I had a pair of these before, and they are SO COMFORTABLE on my postpartum body that I bought 5 more in different colors!
•Extra pump parts for whichever pump you have
•A hands-up swaddle I found at Target
•Wine.
Anyway, hope this helps! Best of luck to all of you!
Yes! Exclusive pumper here. First, have a huge bowl of oatmeal (real, whole oats) and throw in a bunch of flaxseed.
Try taking the max dose of fenugreek/blessed thistle. You should see a difference in 24-48 hours. Fenugreek Seed Extract & Blessed Thistle Lactation Supplement By Breast & Baby
Make yourself some broth-y soup with good veggies and protein and add in a few generous scoops of this Solgar – Brewer’s Yeast Powder and drink a Guinness or your favorite milk stout with it. You deserve a drink anyways. Eat the soup as much as you want!
You might be able to find these things at a pharmacy or natural grocer if you don't want to wait for them to ship.
Seriously, about 120 oz of water a day or more. And I agree with the massaging your breast tip. Mess around with your pump settings and don't hurt yourself, but sometimes for me I need stronger suction to see good production. Try to pump until you feel empty, and do so every 2 to 2.5 hours. Your body needs to think that you have a very hungry newborn baby so it kicks up production.
Reiterate to authorities that your baby is exclusively breastfed. Say she doesn't tolerate formula and you are worried about her safety in the care of him. Married parents may share 50/50 custody, but for all intents and purposes he has kidnapped her and is taking 100%, giving you 0. This is horrible, OP. I'm so sorry. Until this resolves, you are doing the best thing by pumping and working on your supply.
If you have any questions in regards to pumping, please let me know!!
Drink your fucking water and take these.
Okay, you need to switch them to a low fat pellet diet. No more seeds, especially sunflower. Don't starve them though. Also, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Example: https://smile.amazon.com/RoudyBush-Bird-Food-Crumbles-10-Pound/dp/B008OEP9WS/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=low+fat+parrot+pellet&qid=1570462388&sr=8-5
You should give them Milk Thistle Extract. 1 drop per 1 oz of water, changed twice a day. You cannot overdose on milk thistle, it is very safe.
This is an example.
https://smile.amazon.com/Natures-Answer-Alcohol-Free-Thistle-Extract/dp/B01KXWPY6Y/ref=sr_1_5?crid=39FUNH2M1NOZB&keywords=milk+thistle+extract&qid=1570461443&sprefix=milk+thiste+ext%2Caps%2C462&sr=8-5
For a one ounce, .03 kg budgie, .03cc/ml of Lactulose daily orally.
example: https://www.walmartpetrx.com/p-5436-lactulose-10-gm-15-ml-pint-473-ml.aspx?sku=49726&adid=22222222227428673061&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=359083472761&wl4=pla-296866362904&wl5=9021891&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=136410382&wl11=online&wl12=49726&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwxOvsBRAjEiwAuY7L8nfmX5UNsvK2Kkuo6aNUleW0ij8L-tjWqLTJkJsKY6En9tvZ_i8_2xoC_ogQAvD_BwE
If the lactulose gives the bird diarhea, reduce or discontinue dose.
The breathing issue can definitely be a symptom of liver disease. If you would like to verify the meds and dosages, call your vet with this information and discuss.
If you can, rent a hospital grade medela, it’s much more effective at boosting supply.
I also took these supplements , which helped maintain my supply along with a daily dose of oatmeal.
https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Siliphos-Phytosome-Milligrams-Capsules/dp/B01LZ844A2
or
https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Factors-Phytosome-Function-Capsules/dp/B0027AIV66
I'd switch over to one of these. Neither are as cheap, since they both have less caps, but they are much better. The first one is better as it has a higher dosage, but the second one has more caps. I personally take the Swanson one.
What you are taking is a silymarin extract. Silymarin has 7 component flavonoids, of which Silybin is the primary and (by FAR) most potent for supporting hepatic function. All the flavonoids, including Silybin, have pretty shit bioavailability though. Only a very small amount gets absorbed. In the case of silymarin I believe it is 20% absorption, with only a small fraction of that actually being the component that matters (silybin). Silybin Phytosome is a complex of Silybin and Phosphatidylcholine, which increases bioavailability 10x.
IMO compared to silybin phytosome every other milk thistle product is almost homeopathy lmao. For a while I suffered from a lot of liver problems and I have pretty severe Gilbert's syndrome so I used to often have yellow eyes. Silybin phytosome is the only stuff to ever cut my bilirubin levels. I went from having 5x standard unconjugated bilirubin (on a good day, on a bad day 6-7x) to averaging around 1.5-2x the standard.
Given that the percentage of unconjugated bilirubin that gets processed into conjugated is directly related to how efficient the liver is in processing toxins, I'd say that's a good indicator of its quality.
Get Drinkwel before you drink again. My friends and I always use it whenever we drink because you wake up feeling amazing.
These guys paid people to give good reviews on Amazon... EVERY single one of those comments given there are given by people who only decided to go and write one comment about this AMAZING BS-PRODUCT! ffs... http://www.amazon.com/Drinkwel-Multivitamin-People-Who-Drink/product-reviews/B0041HT1BW/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
I pumped for a year (worked full time). When my supply dipped I started eating oatmeal daily and taking these supplements. Worked great!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00O96X4QI/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518286207&sr=8-6-spell&keywords=breastmilk+supply+supplements+upsring
My husband took cell phone videos of my son while he was in the NICU that I watched while I pumped, and I kept a blanket with his smell on it around me when I was having initial supply issues.
Lots of water, oatmeal and I tried a few supplements. I’m not sure how much the supplements help (honestly) but this is what I’m using now at the recommendation of the NICU LC: Motherlove - More Milk Special Blend, Herbal Breastfeeding Supplement w/Goat's Rue, Supports Mammary Tissue Development & Breast Milk Supply, Traditional Liquid Tincture with Organic Herbs, 2 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JY1DKI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tuzWDbC1FJCYK
I also had luck increasing my supply by power pumping 3x a day. This was hard for me to keep up with at home, but manageable while my son was in the NICU and I had a lot of time on my hands in the hospital.
I still have to supplement one bottle of formula a day, but I feel good to be able to provide most of my sons nutrition as breastmilk. I was pretty upset when I had to start supplementing, but a hungry baby is not a happy baby. Pumping is more manageable for me now that I’m more comfortable with a little formula.
Good luck!
It says 1000mg (silybum marianum)(seed) from 250mg of 4:1 extract
Here's a link to the exact one I take.
https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Truth-Thistle-Extract-Count/dp/B00XHKADAC
I’m only 37 weeks so I can’t vouch for the labor-magic claims, but I’ve been drinking red raspberry leaf tea twice a day since early in my second trimester. ( Specifically this one: https://www.amazon.com/Peaceful-Pregnancy-Tea-Raspberry-Nourishing/dp/B019G3PZQU ) Hopefully it lives up to the labor/recovery hype, but even if it doesn’t, this particular blend tastes great and helps me fight off cravings for caffeinated drinks. The same brand has another red raspberry leaf tea blend called Ripe & Ready (the name grosses me out so much) which is basically the same blend +cinnamon I believe so if you’re into that, definitely try both!
I will continue buying the tea I linked long after delivery. I dislike most herbal tea, but adore the flavor of this one!
The attacks could be due to you losing weight so fast, losing weight is a popular gout trigger. Diet is key as well for long term. You're doing it right by cutting alcohol, red meat and corn syrup foods but try and eat more vegetarian, plant based diet. Also dietary supplements for gout can help you supplement your gout diet to get more of the foods that your body needs to keep uric acid in check. This supplement is one of the more popular ones for gout: https://www.amazon.com/Uric-Acid-Lowering-Formula-GoutandYou/dp/B01GU8GGQ2/ref=sr_1_17_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487215448&sr=8-17&keywords=gout
Take a good look at the ingredients and Google each one to see how they help your uric acid.

WHEW. That took way longer than I thought it would but I think I found everything but what your name is! Thanks for the contest, I had a blast!
These are the shit. They placebo me into feeling downright healthy. http://www.amazon.com/Drinkwel-Multivitamin-Thistle-N-acetyl-Cysteine/dp/B0041HT1BW/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1377280553&sr=1-3&keywords=drinking+vitamins
Yes! As long as I continue with the daily regiment, it's keeping the rash at bay. I did miss one day, or evening (can't remember exactly), and I noticed a few new bumps. The original rash was scattered across my entire side/front of my torso (I had it BAD). Now it's reduced to discolored skin, that should fade away with time!
I'm so god damn happy that this worked. As I think I mentioned, this is my second time in Keto, and I stopped previously because of the rash. The first time the rash took over my entire abdomen, and I looked diseased. I discovered this thread just in time, because the rash was 100% ramping up to previous levels.

this stuff is amazing
That sounds really tough. I'm sorry you and your LO are going through this.
I guess in this situation I would maybe try focusing on increasing milk supply since that seems like the only thing he is showing any interest in. I just met a woman who's supply had dropped significantly and she said she had great success by drinking a REALLY hoppy beer in the evenings and taking Mother Love "More Milk". It is available as a tincture or capsules http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JY1DKI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000JY1DKI&linkCode=as2&tag=fern01-20&linkId=ID2RLXJRF7TAHJBS
Good luck! I hope he feels better soon.
On the topic of Booze, these are literally life-changing:
Drinkwel Multivitamin
Cannot recommend them enough. Hangovers? Never heard of them. 2 bottles of wine last night? Got up at 7.
Found them ~5 years ago, read the reviews. I've converted about 30 people so far...
Right on. That's stuff is pricey! Here is the brand of Milk Thistle I use. It's highly potent and seems to be doing the job.
https://www.amazon.com/Concentrated-Silymarin-Flavonoids-All-Natural-Certified/dp/B07CCK6VRS/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=Silybin+Phytosome&qid=1555191877&s=gateway&sr=8-17
Milk Thistle with a concentrated level of silymarin works wonders physically. Please dont take Benzodiazepines as a substitute for more than a few days (if at all). VERY hard to quit.
Hey! Currently on my last month. For facial moisturizer I use vanicream and for the rest of my body, I use whatever I have in the house. The main thing that does get dry is my face however. Just apply it every morning and every night and you should be good until you move up to a higher dose. Honestly any lotion will work for your face but try to get something that says light or lite because it won't leave your face so oily.
As far as other side effects, I haven't noticed too much joint pain(currently on 120mg per day). However your liver could take some damage, my first month my liver numbers were all really high, but i started taking milk thistle once a day and my numbers improved greatly, to the point where it was better than where I started.
For cleaning I would avoid anything made for oily skin because it will dry your skin out. Just get a normal cleanser. For now I just use water since my skin is getting better with just using the medicine.
It's too late for you to buy these for tomorrow but get some for next time. These save my life on occasion. https://www.amazon.com/PreToxx-Hangovers-Supplement-Electrolyte-Vegetarian/dp/B001EM7T34

I'm guessing that the Nalover is mainly due to the blocking of endorphins the next morning, so they're not there to cushion the blow.
Don't. Forget. Hangover. Pills
It's not birthday it's birth anniversary.
Game of Thrones made birthdays better by calling them "name days".
Because we are turning 21, here are the things we need birthday twin:
-For nights we want to get shmammered with friends: Shot Glass Roulette!
-For our inner lush: A drink dispenser!
-For the next morning: lol
In all honesty though, look at my lists if you would like. It's mostly stuff for my apartment tbh. I don't have a specific favorite list, but I like things on my final apartment list and most needed/wanted obviously. The general wishlist has decent stuff on it I suppose.
Fuck! I just bought this 2 pack of supplements.
