The first two days were awful. High five! We are finally in our groove too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193627 Fri, 29 May 2015 15:16:23 +0000 lamariniere 2193627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats, that is such a huge accomplishment, especially when nursing is a struggle. I had a really difficult nursing journey until about 12 weeks (major pain for me, poor latch, damaged nips, etc.) but right around 12 weeks, it became smooth sailing. I didn't have any further problems and went on to nurse until 13 months. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193571 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:49:01 +0000 Truth Bombs 2193571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thrush, a couple nursing strikes, supply dips (but I work full time and had to pump), and some biting periods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193563 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:42:57 +0000 avivoca 2193563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply dropped when I got my period back pp. I had to be really careful and make sure I kept it up from ovulation to the end of my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193562 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:41:16 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2193562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Recurring clogged ducts from blebs.

Other than that and some decreased weight gain (but I think he was just finding his own curve), not much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193528 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:21:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2193528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few minor clogged ducts that were mildly painful but resolved pretty much on their own- some gentle exfoliating of the nipple and hard massage in the shower. </p> <p>And some biting while she was teething but thankfully that was always short lived! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193527 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:20:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2193527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! Congrats!</p> <p>Things I dealt with between 3 months and now (almost 5 months) - nursing strike (this was after she had to start taking bottles since I went back to work, it was just a phase thankfully!), dips in supply (it happened once around 3-4 months and happening again now). I've also had clogged ducts a few times but nothing I couldn't resolve by massaging/pumping/nursing.</p> <p>Basically besides the supply issue, nothing was as bad as those first weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193525 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:19:55 +0000 Peasinapod 2193525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had clogged ducts every once in awhile. I think it was because she'd start going a bit longer between feeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193523 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:19:28 +0000 Mamaof2 2193523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had thrush and clogged ducts with both kids after 12 weeks.</p> <p>here's hoping the worst is behind you! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-issues-past-12-weeks#post-2193522 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:18:14 +0000 LaughLines 2193522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've about made it to 12 weeks of breastfeeding and I'm hoping the worst is behind is (nipple damage, low supply) and now we're in a good groove. But, i want to be prepared for anything that still may come at us - so did you have any breastfeeding issues past 12 weeks? </p>
