I needed to hear the breastfeeding/weaning talk. My first kiddo never latched and I fought tooth and nail to exclusively pump for 11 months and make a freezer stash to last until 15 months. It was horrible for my mental health and horrible for my body. Then my second kiddo popped out loving my boobs, and we've been exclusively nursing for 11 weeks now. This week I got mastitis for the first time and I am in so much pain and so worried about my supply dipping and this affecting our breastfeeding journey, so hearing someone say that it is okay for it to be hard or different than you expected is so validating. I am grateful for whatever amount of time I am able to feed my babies, and I know that if the time ever comes to introduce formula then it will be okay because my kids having a present and mentally well mom is more important than having breastmilk.
Strange moment to know that the Carrie visit for delayed, because you got sick. It's like I traveled to the future and now know things I'm not supposed to know - but all I did was watch a Carrie vlog 😅 So happy it's still happening though, cus I love your collabs 💜
I nursed baby #1 til 19 months and I stopped because I was done, even though he wasn't. It's okay to stop when you're done. I understand the guilt; I had it, too, even after over a year. I'm pregnant with #2 and giving myself permission to stop when it makes sense for us.
Me too. Stopped after 15 months even though she would’ve gone longer. Pregnant with baby 2 and since I know every baby is different, we may not make it that long this time. I’ll be way quicker to switch to 100% formula or supplement without guilt.
Zero shame in ending breastfeeding - I’m weaning my gal right now and I have loved it and I am also so excited for it to be done. I’m far enough postpartum that I feel almost fully back to myself and having that last little bit of bodily autonomy back will be incredible. We have both gotten so much out of it and it’s ok that it’s ending!
Thank you for being so open about breastfeeding. I've been assuming nursing will go easier with my 2nd and therefore I'll go longer than with my 1st. You're reminding me to listen to my needs as well. 💕
That embroidery on vest is such a staple from India , especially from the state of Maharashtra! Every single kid had at least one clothing item with that embroidery. Even my two babies have shirts with that embroidery 😅 and I never appreciated it like you did. we underestimate what’s common to our native place it seems 😌
I stopped breastfeeding at 2 y.o. and the guilt leading up to it ate away at me. She's now three and I still feel a sense of guilt. Not sure if its normal or if what I feel is more grief for the moments ill never have again
2 years old is a very healthy time to end breastfeeding, for you and your baby. It is also okay to grief about moments of intimacy with your baby, both of you have to go through separation. You will have to accept it at some point, kids are growing and becoming more and more independent day by day. It is the whole point of growing a child 😉
In the thick of breastfeeding right now, it’s so encouraging to hear you talk about your journey. I’ve been pregnant/breastfeeding since last June and I am ready for my body to be mine again but I know I’ll miss it someday.
I didn’t breastfeed my twins at all and pumped for two months before I was just done. It is so much better for my mental health to have one less thing to think about when caring for two babies at once.
I think truth is also important. While fed is VERY important, nutritionally, breastfed is still best. There is everything baby needs that just can’t be put in to formula, changing as their body grows. There should be no shame around not breastfeeding, but there is still truth
As a first time mom i am struggling with stopping mainly because i feel guilty. My baby is 6months. Ive combo fed since day 1. I have a frezzer stash also. But i am ready to have my body back but all feel guilty. Seeing this really mad me feel better ❤
Hey I never comment on videos. But I'm here to say my journey with my 2 boys was eerily similar and I felt like the video where you were going to film smoothie tasting my brain thought... oh no I'm feeling like she's starting to feel sad about her breastfeeding journey with number 2. So I'm so so happy to hear you getting to where I eventually got it's so so rewarding not putting all that pressure on yourself anymore to be allowed to be in relief. My youngest had way way way less mama milk than my oldest and I am just here to say he is far far far more advanced than my oldest in like every stage so.. maybe me being a confident happy mama helped me be better for him over being a milkhouse who was sometimes crying and powerpumping distracted AF bc i was scared my body was failing him.
As a new first time mom, I’m so glad you are putting out this content. I definitely needed to know I’m not alone. Thank you so much for such enjoyable and real videos!
Can I say congrats for stopping. This is an accomplishment and I know all the feelings involved in breastfeeding and stopping, but just, like, congrats. Because I want that to invoke a feeling a too! Love ya!
With my second I did donor milk formula and nursing for 11 months. My supply was barely there for about 6 months but we always coslept. The last 2 months it was dry but the baby was comforted by it and slept that way. She’s the best 6 year old ever and I’m so so glad ❤❤❤ I just want 3 clones of her
We also coslept with our foster dog too until baby was 3.5 and she reads and sleeps alone in her room every night and has a ton of friends, never went to pre school. Has a great routine. In case anyone is considering co sleeping and wondering
Girl - fed is best. I pumped for 8 weeks and that's all I could do. It's freaking hard. That's one thing I didn't expect going into motherhood is how all consuming it would feel in terms of breastfeeding. The second we switched to formula I felt such a weight lifted off me and now my almost 13 month old is eating puffs off the floor so we all get to where we need to be 🤣🤣 good for you mama.
Breast fed my kid way longer than I should have and I say that because my mental health took a big dip. She finally only weaned off because we all got Covid and she was so stuffed up she couldn’t feed comfortably and then my body hurt so bad breastfeeding felt painful so we just had to stop. Miserable experience for everyone involved. After that though I felt incredible just to have my body back to myself and felt way happier overall which my kid benefited directly from having a happier healthier me. Never feel guilty for stopping breastfeeding, as long as the baby is getting fed who caaaaressss! 😂❤
So valid and a terrific reason to stop breastfeeding. Alice will be healthy and happy, and now Steven gets to be part of that bond even more. No reason for guilt.
I’ve been listening to audio books while running. You’ve inspired me to try couch to 5K I’m on week 3. I just finished listening to ‘part of your world, by Abby Jimenez and it was cute a fluffy and easy to keep you distracted and pass the time. It’s also a trilogy.. kinda.. and I started the second book really cute.
If you were ever to use the personal safety alarm, you want to run with it in your hand. With headphones on, if you were ever to need it you would not want to be shuffling through a bag to need it.
I also have PCOS and 2 daughters almost exactly the same age as yours. My breastfeeding journey was almost identical to how yours has been. I wonder if PCOS is part of the problem? My milk supply tanked around 4 months with both kiddos and then continued to dwindle despite my best efforts. Anybody else out there with PCOS have this happen? Just curious
As a former slavic dancer (slovak and polish folk dance), im sorry but that vest reminds me of our dance costumes 😅 a real kroj if I ever saw it lol I envision it with a thick skirt and a long sleeve blouse underneath It is cute though!
can you talk about how your dealing with tight muscles and learning to breath with running if you've had any issues or successes with that? I have such tight calves it makes it hard to even do a slow mile jog
I super recommend the videos on David Roche’s channel. He has a great 4 min warm up for the legs before you start running and a ton of great videos on strength exercises for runners. He also just set the course record on Leadville 100!! So I totally trust his advice and I have followed it myself and it helped a lot with tight/sleepy legs
Man I can’t even imagine what stopping is like, it’s been 8 years of continuous breastfeeding, I can go about 4 ish hours before I start feeding engorged
I’ve only pumped with my newborn and supplemented with formula if needed. I feel like it might be more work to pump but I know how much he is eating. Idk, I’m new at this but breastfeeding was hard 🙈
Pumping Is mentally exhausting . My daughter was no longer taking bottl3e and just wanted the milk from the source. I was a milk donor for fragile babies and donated till my baby was one. Since I was a oversupplier
My daughter who is 37 now. She heard me say to her dad ( who was taking advantage of my kindness one day and asking me to do everything for him) What do you think I am today? Your personal slave? A few day later I asked her to grab something for me. She put her hands on her hips and said “ what do you think I am? your Slime!” I laughed so hard. I will never forget that moment. 😂
seems to be the trend now lately..I am done breastfeeding too! my daughter is 5 months old and I've just accepted the fact that she will be on formula and I know that's perfectly okay
My baby is 3 months old. I don’t produce enough to feed him only breast milk bottles. I want to go at least 6 months, but 12 at the most. We also can’t afford to do formula only. I can make one can last 2 weeks because it’s only used as a supplement to the breast milk. I hate pumping. It hurts, I get nauseous, my life is dictated by when I need to pump. But I do it because I know I need to do it for my baby.
In the same position with affordability. I am breastfeeding, pumping, and feeding some formula. If we fed her only formula, it would cost $240/month. If I can even give her 15-20 oz per day of breastmilk then the cost for us is only $80 month. Huge difference!
So this might be too TMI for yall to answer but with a baby in the bed with you every night do you feel like that affects your guy’s intimacy? I just feel like I really cherish the time in bed to be romantic with my partner. So having a baby there every night feels like it might be a hindrance
I feel like it's easier for you to transition because you can afford formula. But the pressure for people who can't afford it the pressure is always there. That's something I feel like you don't touch on so much. It's not easy for low income moms to be just done with breastfeeding.
The ten years thing is not true lol! I am a Therapist for kids (I’m supervised this year) but I still often think about my ten year old and how we nursed and what I did correctly and wrong and the crib and the crying lol. (But maybe this is only for people in school for psych lolol so idk about other moms )
I really hope you don't go ask moms if their kids was nursed and for how long in therapy. Thats disqusting to shame moms with a oh you didn't nurse longer and now we are here in therapy
@@AnniCarlsson that has legit zero to do with our therapy at all. But when we think about our kids, sometimes we as professionals are gonna think about that( in our own history) and discuss it. Alone. Why would we shame moms at any time? I was just letting her know that ten years later you do remember and it does come up in conversation. Maybe in her life it won’t? lol
@@AnniCarlsson and also you have to realize my ten year old could end up being a serial killer some day. Whether sierra nurses or not is nothing to me and I never said being a therapist makes me a better mom 😂😂 than other people. So????
Breastfeeding has a positive effect on immune system development and neurological development. It also reduced risk of illness and disease in adulthood and may increase IQ. I don’t understand why we’re pretending that breastfeeding isn’t as magical as it is. Fed is best - duh. Just like eating fast food everyday is better than not eating at all. But we don’t breastfeed just because we like the bonding aspect, it is far better than formula and always will be.
หลายเดือนก่อน
impressive that u wake up early to go for a run at 7 am. how is ur going to sleep and wake up schedule?
@@nanaronhano337 🤷🏼♀️she could have pumped and used it but would have had to be extra careful like wiping all the equipment down to pass over to Stephen and extra effort isn’t super fun when sick lol so I personally would probably just dump it. But to each their own!
@@shelbyblakey4804 Breastfeeding is super important even if you’re sick to pass antibodies to the baby! Besides the baby would have already been exposed anyways. I had the virus while breastfeeding in 2021 and my baby was totally fine.
6 months is amazing. Congrats. Please don’t be offended but I’m a firm believer that fed is essential obviously. But “breast is best” is a motto for a reason. Breast is nutritionally far superior. “Fed is best” is something people have begun to say to cope with the insecurity of their decision. Just be confident and own it. Sometimes breast isn’t what’s best for the mom. But it is ALWAYS what is best for the baby granted a woman can breastfeed Orr pump.
I don’t think fed is best is to cope with an insecurity. Some people physically cannot breastfeed. As someone who exclusively pumps, it takes up SO much of my time. I’m happy to give my son breast milk, but when I stop I know that a more present mom is better than a breastfed baby. For a lot of reasons. Able to play with him more, go more places without the stress of pumping etc. There are so many ways to have healthy children, not just breastmilk
Thank you for saying this. Breast is best but formula is fine if it’s what you need to do! Formula saves lives - sometimes the baby’s and sometimes the mom’s life. But breast IS best. ❤ And she should be 100% proud. I exclusively pumped with my first for 7 months because she was unable to transfer from the breast despite a huge oversupply. My second and third I EBF until 11 and 11.5 months. Now I’m 1 month into breastfeeding my last baby. Breastfeeding is something I’m super passionate about. Moms need so much more support to be successful.
@@nanaronhano337 congratulations. You’ll never regret it. You’re giving them the best start. There are so many wonderful benefits that most don’t even know. One being for baby boys. They make more testosterone than grown men do in the first year of their life. They need cholesterol to make that. Formula doesn’t contain cholesterol (breast milk does!!) so they can’t make the same testosterone during the first year. In fact soy formulas expose the baby boys to higher amounts of estrogen. This is so damaging for little boys and their development hormonally. Just one of the many cool breast feeding facts. I nursed my son for 25 months. My daughter for 17 because i was due with my next daughter. We’re 4 months in almost now. If you can breastfeed it is a tremendous blessing for both baby and mama. (And dads too because it saves so much money. Dads often are the ones who bear the burden of providing etc. moms too of course) Blessings and all the best with your nursing journey this time around!! 🥰
@@emitoms I think when people are fully informed on the benefits of breast feeding the evidence is staggering that breast feeding is best (nutritionally, emotionally and immunologically). Better than pumping and bottle feeding and better than formula. This isn’t said to offend! However not everyone can and there are many factors to that. Fed is the goal but breast is best. Pumping and bottle feeding is very difficult and you are doing the best you can for your child if they can not nurse at the breast. You should be so proud of what your doing. It’s incredibly hard work! I’m sure you’re aware a mother shares her amazing antibodies with her baby when nursing. But did you know that when a baby is exposed to a new pathogen (virus let’s say) that the mother has never been exposed to and therefore has no antibodies to aid their baby with said pathogen…. When the baby is nursing the mothers body is alerted to this pathogen through the breast and her body begins to make the antibodies right away for her baby. All the best.

Why do women always have so much guilt?
Love the Gruns sponsorship!! I found them on another app, and I can absolutely say they have seriously helped my gut health and my skin.
Please clip your safety alarm on the outside of your bag, it's not going to help if you have to open your bag and look for it. Stay safe mama.

The beginning was so relatable - my biggest hurdle in focusing on fitness is that I just get so bored.
With my second I exclusively pumped and it took up so much time I would call my pump my third child. When I was done I got so much more time
Just had my 3rd, love love combo feeding.
With my second I did donor milk formula and nursing for 11 months. My supply was barely there for about 6 months but we always coslept. The last 2 months it was dry but the baby was comforted by it and slept that way. She’s the best 6 year old ever and I’m so so glad ❤❤❤ I just want 3 clones of her
We also coslept with our foster dog too until baby was 3.5 and she reads and sleeps alone in her room every night and has a ton of friends, never went to pre school. Has a great routine. In case anyone is considering co sleeping and wondering

It looks to me like a “birdie” one. They’re on Amazon
Ok I have to try the Grüns gummies you’ve convinced me!

you gotta get a better playlist for running also u just get used to it i can do like 75 minutes without getting bored
There is a reason many of us refer to a treadmill as a “dreadmill”. 😉
A fed baby is best!!!! You should be so proud for how long you breastfed! It’s tough
I used to have to pump every 2-4 hours for 6 months and it was awful if I missed a pump session so once I found a formula that worked I was done done.
My daughter who is 37 now. She heard me say to her dad ( who was taking advantage of my kindness one day and asking me to do everything for him) What do you think I am today? Your personal slave?

I know she said where the boxer shorts are from but I can’t find the website!! Help
I really miss twenty whatever 😭
I love doing my eye lash lift. A reminder that I have to go😂
I feel like this birth and breastfeeding journey were so healing for you!
today i learned there was a rainbow puppy on blues clues
Very random but "grün" means "green" in German if you didn't know✨
So this might be too TMI for yall to answer but with a baby in the bed with you every night do you feel like that affects your guy’s intimacy? I just feel like I really cherish the time in bed to be romantic with my partner. So having a baby there every night feels like it might be a hindrance

The timing kind of worked out perfectly stopping breastfeeding right before you got Covid 😅 you would have had to pump and dump anyways 😂
Why would she have to pump and dump?
@@nanaronhano337 🤷🏼♀️she could have pumped and used it but would have had to be extra careful like wiping all the equipment down to pass over to Stephen and extra effort isn’t super fun when sick lol so I personally would probably just dump it. But to each their own!
@@shelbyblakey4804 Breastfeeding is super important even if you’re sick to pass antibodies to the baby! Besides the baby would have already been exposed anyways. I had the virus while breastfeeding in 2021 and my baby was totally fine.
6 months is amazing. Congrats. Please don’t be offended but I’m a firm believer that fed is essential obviously. But “breast is best” is a motto for a reason. Breast is nutritionally far superior. “Fed is best” is something people have begun to say to cope with the insecurity of their decision. Just be confident and own it. Sometimes breast isn’t what’s best for the mom. But it is ALWAYS what is best for the baby granted a woman can breastfeed Orr pump.
I don’t think fed is best is to cope with an insecurity. Some people physically cannot breastfeed. As someone who exclusively pumps, it takes up SO much of my time. I’m happy to give my son breast milk, but when I stop I know that a more present mom is better than a breastfed baby. For a lot of reasons. Able to play with him more, go more places without the stress of pumping etc.
There are so many ways to have healthy children, not just breastmilk
Thank you for saying this. Breast is best but formula is fine if it’s what you need to do! Formula saves lives - sometimes the baby’s and sometimes the mom’s life. But breast IS best. ❤ And she should be 100% proud. I exclusively pumped with my first for 7 months because she was unable to transfer from the breast despite a huge oversupply. My second and third I EBF until 11 and 11.5 months. Now I’m 1 month into breastfeeding my last baby. Breastfeeding is something I’m super passionate about. Moms need so much more support to be successful.
@@nanaronhano337 congratulations. You’ll never regret it. You’re giving them the best start. There are so many wonderful benefits that most don’t even know. One being for baby boys. They make more testosterone than grown men do in the first year of their life. They need cholesterol to make that. Formula doesn’t contain cholesterol (breast milk does!!) so they can’t make the same testosterone during the first year. In fact soy formulas expose the baby boys to higher amounts of estrogen. This is so damaging for little boys and their development hormonally. Just one of the many cool breast feeding facts.
I nursed my son for 25 months. My daughter for 17 because i was due with my next daughter. We’re 4 months in almost now. If you can breastfeed it is a tremendous blessing for both baby and mama. (And dads too because it saves so much money. Dads often are the ones who bear the burden of providing etc. moms too of course)
Blessings and all the best with your nursing journey this time around!! 🥰
@@emitoms I think when people are fully informed on the benefits of breast feeding the evidence is staggering that breast feeding is best (nutritionally, emotionally and immunologically). Better than pumping and bottle feeding and better than formula. This isn’t said to offend! However not everyone can and there are many factors to that. Fed is the goal but breast is best. Pumping and bottle feeding is very difficult and you are doing the best you can for your child if they can not nurse at the breast. You should be so proud of what your doing. It’s incredibly hard work!
I’m sure you’re aware a mother shares her amazing antibodies with her baby when nursing. But did you know that when a baby is exposed to a new pathogen (virus let’s say) that the mother has never been exposed to and therefore has no antibodies to aid their baby with said pathogen…. When the baby is nursing the mothers body is alerted to this pathogen through the breast and her body begins to make the antibodies right away for her baby.
All the best.
Thank you for your openness and honesty and vulnerability 🤍 it helps me and so many others
