Just wondering since my MIL has asked 3 times now that we take our son up to her workplace so she can show him off to her coworkers. She asked DH at noon to take LO up to her workplace before 5. We’re not doing it today because 1.) MIL works 40mins away and my husband gets off work between 3:30 to 4, and 2.) LO eats again at 4:30 and is ebf, I’d be pumping right after he eats, and 3.) we have plans at 5:30.

I’ve never heard of that, unless they were there specifically to visit the grandparent or run errands at their workplace but not for the sake of showing off. My parents and FIL and SMIL have never requested that. I wouldn’t care to take LO up if it wasn’t us going out of our way or extremely last minute. Why would she ask last second? DH has no problem with it if it makes sense with us being in town to do it but I just don’t care to go out of my way to introduce LO to MIL’s coworkers he’ll never see again if that makes sense. Just curious

You know when you’re pumping and it’s all going good, then it suddenly stops sucking properly for a couple seconds before going back to normal. Then it happens again a few minutes later. Then you push the flanges tighter against your boob but that doesn’t work. Then it happens more often and randomly. 🙃 Literally one of the worst experiences, especially when it starts happening later on towards the end but not close enough to just call it quits early

I have a recently turned 7 month old who we are still in the process of introducing solids, still on purées due to dysphagia but we’re working on it! Right now, we’re breastfeeding every 3-4 hours and doing 1 purée a day. Trying to introduce a new thing every 2 days, going to bring in allergens soon. I’m feeling guilty about feeling like I’m not introducing enough or that I’m giving too much breastmilk. I’m feeling a little sad because it feels like my baby is growing up but I want to do what’s best! Any advice is appreciated!
