Thanks for talking about those patches!! I can't wait to try them!!

[@shawnadurocher1]

Indie laying in the baby's bed 😂😂 he's so cute!! My dog would do the same.

[@nicolem1196]

Oh man love these videos with your sweet little Ben. I have a 10 month old and 5 year old and we had similar newborn days. Contact naps and breastfeeding around the clock. They go so fast! I’m 10 months into breastfeeding my 2nd and not all clogs will turn into mastitis if you get them out quick enough!

[@BalanceLifeBabe]

I love that you show how to put on the baby carrier. I was gifted one and have no clue how to put it on lol.

[@kayburris8464]

Hope your feeling better. Baby Ben is so cute. Scarlet is such a fun little girl, love to hear her giggling. Dinner looked delicious. I'm scared to use my instant pot, or Id try that.

[@samtovar9826]

I had clogged milk ducts all the time with my baby. I started taking sunflower lecithin to help with it. It supposed to help with the milk flow and prevent clogged milk ducts. It definitely helped a lot. You can also use cold cabbage leaves In Your bra but don’t leave them in for too long, or do it too often because it can mess up your supply

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you so much 🤍🤍

[@wendypudder9745]

Good morning Caitlyn, Ben is so precious, have a wonderful and blessed safe day.❤🤶

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you! You as well!

[@judystoinski2409]

Once again I enjoyed you and your family such a strength and love thank you enjoyed

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you so much 🤍

[@MlouD3sign]

You're doing an amazing, amazing, wonderful job. I wish I had been as wise as you while I was breast-feeding. You rock!

[@CaitlynNeier]

Oh thank you. A lot of prep went into making breast feeding successful with this baby lol!

[@Jaramillo_19]

Hello! I'm a lactation consultant and what can I tell you that can help it is using manual pump or using your hand and offering your baby nurse as much as he wants, pumping it good but right now your body is creating so much milk and you can over produce and have mastitis as well, just take out the milk til' you feel relief, not to empty the breast for what I said early, hope you're feeling better momma, remember you're doing it amazing!🤱🏻🫶🏼

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you so much for the tips! Feeling much better now!!!!

[@sadie4289]

Beautiful video enjoying them so much. I know I might get into trouble now but a dod should never be sleeping in the baby's little bed thing and I know what I'm talking about I've seen what it does to my baby recently

[@Megrrs93]

Caitlyn, if you need to do any long term pumping you should look into the silicone flanges. So much more comfortable than the plastic. I loved the LacTek brand and they have an adapter for the Spectra

[@CaitlynNeier]

Love it thank you! Didn’t know that was even a thing!

[@tonisangel5024]

Hi sweetie Benjamin is getting so big he's precious! Lil Ty...very interested in the patches boy do I need energy!! Happy Holidays to ya'll sending big hugs from Florida it will be 81 today we need some cold weather here!! Hope you feel better...💥🙏💥🎅🤶🧑‍🎄☃️❄🎄🌟

[@CaitlynNeier]

They are awesome! Thank you!

[@MissPrettykitty91]

Omg my dogs try to get into the snuggle bed too 😄

[@clarissastandard3887]

Love these raw real life vlogs! First time mom here and how do you guys eat dinner with newborn? Any tips?

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you! Well I try and sit him down in his swing but usually that doesn’t work and we take dinner shifts 🤣

[@cmconcon]

Howdy! Love watching, just had my fourth baby 5 weeks your videos came up during my last mo of 🤰🏽 As a seasoned mama (my oldest is 17) If you can retain that last sleep window , I highly recommend! You could chat with Scarlett and share how vital sleep is and maybe create another opportunity to replace this daily ritual.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you! Love, thanks for the idea. Hope you are recovering well and thanks for following along!

[@peccalifornia]

Sunflower lecithin when I first start to feel any pain has done the trick every time for me in my own BF journey 💗

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you! 🤍🙏🏻

[@VEGANLIFE-lq1my]

❤❤❤

[@katiecowperthwaite3817]

Look up the Hakka hack for clogged ducts. Got mine out every single time.

[@mamamarinoel]

Warm water and Epsom salt soak works every time for my clogged ducts! I just fill up a medium glass bowl and lean over it to submerge for a few min.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Yes that is what solved it for me I think! Thank you!

[@alexazoesch7822]

You’re doing amazing! Breastfeeding on demand and contact napping is best for baby and mama- but it can be exhausting. I keep sunflower lecithin on hand when I start to feel clogged- focus on drinking extra water and not wearing anything tight or just being topless for part of the day and trying to get baby to nurse extra. When it feels really bad and more than just a clogged duct I do a “nurse in” where I stay in bed topless and cuddle my babe all day and focus on nursing nonstop, hydration and do cabbage leaf between nursing sessions. Hot showers and baths help too! Keep up the good work!

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you so much! Love the nurse in idea! 🤍🤍

[@andrealarkin9109]

So I got clogged milk duck‘s all the time! I bought a ultrasonic therapy machine on Amazon and it helped a lot. You should take sunflower lecithin every single day until you’re done breast-feeding to help prevent them.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you!

[@darlenebatts5115]

Hey Gorgeous Momma. I am going to try the patches.. So cool. I need all the energy I can get..Thank you so much for sharing.. aww Ben is growing so fast. I'm so glad that your feeling better now..I breastfed all 5 of mine. I got lucky I guess, I never got Mastitis. My Daughter just had it and her lactation consultant told her that baby wearing a ton like she does, can definitely cause clogged ducts and also wearing her Bra to tight. Hopefully you won't have to deal with that anymore. Take care and I will see you in the next one. Much Love From Indiana.

[@CaitlynNeier]

I’m doomed then because we babywear a ton 🤣 crossing my fingers I dodge it haha. Thank you so much!

[@britt08]

Awww he's already getting so big😩 those little fatt cheeks, so adorable 🥰

[@CaitlynNeier]

So big 🥺😩

[@jennyeng1229]

i had clogged milk ducts and a manual pump was the only thing that was able to unclog me. My spectra and Elvie wasn't able to get the lump out. i also noticed I would get clogged when I would wear my baby because i wrapped her tightly to me so that could be another reason why that's happening. I'm 7 months pp now and still breastfeeding and I don't get clogged anymore so there's light at the end of the tunnel :)

[@CaitlynNeier]

That could totally be why. I wear him a ton! Thankfully this was two weeks ago and hasn’t happened since but that’s good to know about the manual one! Thank you!

[@mindy9756]

For clogged ducts try dangle feeding. As a prophylaxis supplement with lecithin. Helped me a ton. Never got mastitis but had clogged ducts a lot from over supply. Also, probably not going to want to hear this...but if Ty has sleeping issues he should wean off the energy drinks. I know that's common sense, but I swear (as someone that drank 1 Monster a day pre kids) limiting caffeine will help.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Haha thank you. He only have one a day in the morning. But yeah probably doesn’t help lol

[@caitipose]

At the risk of sounding raunchy… TY! Have Ty act as though he’s feeding. Yes, it’s weird for him too, but it works. That or a very long, warm shower. Wash your hair, massage the left side and just have some you time.

[@itsjustdesi8223]

i know this sounds odd but try using something that vibrates like an electric toothbrush on the clogged duct!

[@gingerglitter4ever]

Whenever I had a clogged duct, I would do a drag massage from the outside toward the nipple pretty hard (think like a physical therapy session type of hard) and collect that milk (because girl it'll spray everywhere) and it's actually nice that you get something for your freezer stash too ;) taking a hot shower beforehand was also really nice then massage after :) good luck!

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@evelyntorres2937]

Hello, where is the LOUNGER you use at minute 3:09 from?

[@amandamoore2898]

Try feeding in different positions. This has helped me. You could hold him in football position or lay down and have him face you on you chest.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you!

[@kellylaurenxo]

Sunflower Lethacin has helped me treated with clogged milk ducts.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you!

[@teeandkids937]

I saw that it’s been resolved already but I would either let my kids suck on me until they legit didn’t want me and then after that I would use a manual pump I still remember the sound it makes and the instant relief, oh god the relief! Haha you look amazing momma :)

[@CaitlynNeier]

Yes! Thank you so much. That’s basically what I did minus the manual. I need to get one of those!

[@teeandkids937]

@@CaitlynNeier you’re most welcome!if I’m being honest the only reason I had one was for this very reason, I never used it otherwise :p haha

[@thehomesteadingmama]

I just had my 3rd baby, 1st time successfully breastfeeding! I only lasted a couple months with my 1st 2 girls. It can be hard, but I've discovered constantly nursing & keeping passys & bottles away make a huge difference and make it all so much easier!! The nursing gets most difficult during mental leaps but without a passy & a bottle there is no confusion for mom for why baby is being difficult on the breast! You should try "boob tubes"! They helped me so much when I got engorged, you can heat them or freeze them! The massages help a lot too 😊 I found jiggling them around a bit helps too as weird as that sounds 🤣🤣 but anyways, baby ben is beautiful❤ happy holidays!!🎄

[@CaitlynNeier]

Love it thanks for sharing! And ugh I am trying to get him to take a paci for my sake 🤣 he just isn’t too into them just like my daughter LOL. But yes this video was filmed a few weeks ago and I do think he as going through a little growth spurt!!!

[@thehomesteadingmama]

@@CaitlynNeier oh I understand completely!! Try the ninni passy!! Its exactly like a breast so it doesn't cause nipple confusion!😊 we use one for when our baby is colicky or gassy!

[@maddyweiberg200]

When I breastfed my 2nd and 3rd daughter I would notice I would get more frequent clogged milk ducts when I wore nursing bras that were on the tighter side . As soon as I sized up I barely got any 😊

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you so much! Didn’t even think of this!

[@Hollie_Gold]

Clogged ducts don’t necessarily turn into mastitis. This has happened to me twice (in my right armpit both times) but I just massaged the lump while the baby was nursing and it was gone within 24 hours both times. Have you had any issues with Ben not pooping? My baby girl turned 1 month old on Saturday and she hasn’t had a bowel movement in 10 days! I’m afraid of the diaper blowout that’s on the way. Lol. Pediatrician said it’s fine as long as she doesn’t seem uncomfortable, but we can give her an ounce of apple juice if we want to. Apparently this is pretty common with breastfed babies, because they use the breast milk so efficiently. There isn’t much left over. I feel like 10 days is a really long time though.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you! And ugh the armpit stuff is the worst hahah. And no issues with that. I feel like we have an obsessive smoking of dirty diapers lol. But I do know it’s common for them to go long periods of time! Hoping for some relief for your babe soon 🤍🤍🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lisarodriguez7280]

Epsom salt in a Haaka helps a lot

[@CaitlynNeier]

Yes that’s what did the trick for me. Thank you!

[@laurap9403]

You’ll know when it’s mastitis because you’ll get like a red rash around the infected area and you feel achy everywhere. I breastfed my daughter for 2 1/2 years and got it twice. It sucks but you get through it. I bought a boob massager that helped and, in the beginning of BF, I nursed or pumped every two hours around the clock-even at night. I think that’s why I didn’t get it as much as some women I know.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thanks for sharing! Does not sound fun at all!!!!

[@BlueLuna5]

I had mastitis. I would actually go to the car and blast the AC every morning to make my fever go down, then go to work. Needless to say, I had a terrible experience. Another issue is tongue tie. If he is cluster feeding, this might be the issue. I had no idea that feeding all the time was abnormal. I would feed him for hours.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! And ahhh yes we had a tongue tie but it was released when he was a weak old! Since I filmed this video it has gotten better. I think we were going through a growth spurt!

[@sagejackson1541]

Actually feeding all the time is normal. It was awful snd I had to call leche cuz my daughter was eating so often I only had 20 min between feeds. It was crazy. By 4 months we were at an hour in between and 6 months an hour and a half and now at 9 months 2-3 hours. I only make 3-4 ounces at a time so maybe that’s why she had to eat so often.

[@mama2boys_]

A lot of good tips in the comments! But maybe try bigger bras even though they might not feel tight it can be causing issues

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thank you, didn’t even think of this!

[@obahra]

Love you been watching for years.. my name shows up as my husbands on here lol… no need to carry your baby when he’s asleep, you’ve taught him to sleep on you & im only mentioning this because you are going to exhaust yourself & it’s not good for u or baby .. rest u need it!! ❤

[@tabithalindsay6960]

The patch code isn’t working for me. I’m in Canada is that an issue?

[@CaitlynNeier]

So sorry there is an issue with it. 😭 Waiting for the brand to help with the code. It shouldn’t be an issue though.

[@mirrorkilroy1495]

I pump on one side and feed only on the other. Baby gets bottle after breast. A lot of work but worth it

[@CaitlynNeier]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ally20111]

Do they have a weight loss one.?

[@CaitlynNeier]

No it’s vitamins

[@Melissa-or3qp]

Totally tmi but when I had a clogged duct my husband had to help get it out if you know what I mean! Also if you take the haakaa out warm water and epsom salt and submerge your nipple in it and leave it there for like 15 mins that helps alottttt welp listening to the rest of your video you already know that trick 😂

[@CaitlynNeier]

Okay so many people have said this too. Good to know 🤣 And YES that did the trick I think! Thank you!

[@KayleeFarnes]

Sorry about your clogged duct! Absolutely no fun. ❤️

[@CaitlynNeier]

No fun at all haha. All good now though thank you!

[@kaylalacaille1039]

The only thing that helped me was heat on the breast and a warm shower, hot compress.

[@CaitlynNeier]

Yes that helped me a ton too I agree. Thank you so much

[@sheenacoers022]

Get on all fours extremely hot shower and massage down. Or use a jade roller. Good luck and you got it 🤎
