Should it be okay?

Question

Hey imma ftm and am 19 right now but im due on april 6th with my babyboy and then like a month later im going to turn 20! So my question is would it be okay to let my mom babysit on my birthday even though he will only be a month old and i plan on breastfeeding him but will also pump for occasions like this???

Answer

That’s not a decision any of us can make for you. I know I personally wouldn’t have left my baby at only a month old (especially since I breastfed, and it’s discouraged to pump until ur supply is established until 4-6 weeks after birth). But I’ve never had anyone babysit for her and she’s 13 months old. It’s whatever ur comfortable with, some people are perfectly fine leaving their baby and some aren’t.

Answer

I started pumping in the hospital because baby was in the NICU and I didn’t get to see him until the next day. He was also breastfed. I went out for dinner with hubby before he was even a week old and out for the night when he was a month. It’s totally up to you and what you’re comfortable with.

Answer

i left my baby when she was 8 days old and everyone was fine. i don’t feed from the breast but i started pumping the day after my milk came in (i was in pain and had to get it out) so i think it’s okay to pump that early.

Answer

That should be fine.
