I'm so angry about my friend being callous towards me when I was recovering from birth

My friend Whitney was being a bitch to me after I delivered. I told her I had a spinal head ache and I was in bed while my husband took care of baby including feedings and doing all chores in house like laundry. She told me *I* should be feeding him , not him. BITCH. 😡 I'm so mad!!!! FYI spinal head aches are…

How do I reduce the flow/letdown of one of my breasts?

My LO is 12 weeks old and has recently not been able to feed on my left breast because the flow and let down is too heavy. He starts moving like crazy, panicking and crying, I have to switch him over to the right side all the time. Any suggestions on how to ease my flow? I should mention, he’s EBF

Nursing to sleep

How have we managed to move away from nursing to sleep and contact napping? I want to do it gradually so as not to upset her too much. So far I’m unlatching her after she’s fallen asleep rather than allowing her to comfort suckle.
