This should be "Why moms are the STRONGEST people on earth"
Ramneek Bala u literally just copied the person before u
Lizélle Engels no they didn’t the perosn before did it after😂
@@lizelleengels4286 duh she copied me not I 🤦♀️😂😂
Ramneek Bala-Why moms are the strongest people on earth
Men suffering from war, disaster, home loss and prison-This person has no brain cells left
@@thomashsiai6250 but do men suffer from period pain, pregnancy or childbirth? Lol no!
Ok the second one Sounded like it HURT
I had that with my first daughter - it was excruciating 😂
@@jennifermalcolm6838 me too!!! The flashbacks are REAL right now. 😂
The second one was my exact experience with my son (1st baby). It was excruciating lol I wouldn't wish it one anyone.
She should have stopped way before it got to that point.
It must
The second mom is a hardcore trooper 😭 she pushed through the pain.
Lol. That would NOT be me. She is a strong one.
i wasnt ten seconds in and that purple baby made me SCREEAAAAAM
Is it ok?
@@SecondEvilEx nobody knows....
... it’s medication
@@lilyellamae it looks like pen ink lmaoo
I sprayed my in-laws... whilst breastfeeding my son. It was like a fountain, no joke.
Hahahah yes! Same here. He would just unlatch and a stream of 5 different holes going wild. Half thr time I would just rub the breastmilk into his skin, its good for it lol
Same here. In my case, they took it very naturally, as lactating Is. My first baby even rub my milk onto her face when she was only days old
so off topic but... you have BVB in your username... are you a black veil brides fan?
oh no!!
@@Jenafwar omg, really?! 😅 5 different holes? You were like a human-sprinkler! 😂 I can understand, i'm a breastfeeding mother too. But my record it's 4 different holes (i leak everytime in the shower).
I keep telling everybody having a baby is CRAZY on the body but everybody thinks this is a JOKE. I’m just gonna wait lol
It’s simultaneously amazing and insane at the same time. I don’t have kids but i try to watch these videos and stories about delivery, post partum, etc and it’s no joke. Mothers deserve all the credit, men could never do it. If they did, they’d have one and done.
I said this the other day. Men want all these kids but if they had to push them out, the population would be scarce 🤦🏽♀️
And that’s why you are a Karen
Btw, it’s less likely for you to die or get conditions giving birth than there is for you to get bitten but a poisonous spider in North America
Also men, protected you from oppression, build homes for you to live in, worked harsh jobs. It’s the least you could do to have children
As soon as I saw Alison from a previous pregnancy/labor video, I could not wait to hear her sense of humor!
I was terrified when I saw the baby with something blue inside his/her mouth (in the start)
Yeah, when my little sister was a baby, she had Thrush so she had to use the gentian violet. I cannot tell you the number of hand cloths and clothes I had to throw away because they got so badly stained with purple. It was an absolute nightmare.
My girl Alison is back! 😂 She's the funniest person ever lmaooo
Why am I, a thirteen year old who does not want children, watching this video?!
Curiosity?
Lol same
same
Well i do want kids but the fact that we watch other youtubers watching pushing so freaking much and getting hurt🤐🤣
I do not know my Friend I do not know
I love the lady who expressed out her car literally
Thanks! If you only knew how much pain I was in...lol. I had no choice 😂
@@PlayMathGrow are you the woman in the video? ☺️ Your story was so funny! I can understand you, i'm breastfeeding and i always have a crazy letdown! My boobs starts leaking so strong! I can relate myself also to the first story of course. Did it happen something like in the first story to you too? (The fountain situation 🤣)
(Sorry if my english it's not perfect, i'm from Europe)
@@Chiara.G I am the woman in the video. Lol. The fountain situation only happened while my daughter stops feeding suddenly in the middle of a let down. But mostly my boobs just liked to get VERY VERY FULL unless someone physically does something to relieve it.
@@PlayMathGrow thank you for the answer ❤️ bye
@@Chiara.G yw
When you see Allison on a horror story thumbnail: _clik_
i lovvve her shes so funny hahah
@@Sofia-kp8iw I know right! She's such a good storyteller
Such a comedian ❤️ her.
The second lady was using the pump on too strong of a setting. I used to do that and my nipples ended up really red and raw. And mastitis is when the milk duct gets clogged. I had it too and it’s super painful because you have to massage the spot and it hurts.
Yeah I was like that's not mastitis she was probably not using the right size flange, not using lubricant, and had the pump on too strong or was pumping too long etc
I thought the same. It sounded like user error to me. Either wrong size, or setting or even both. The mastitis pain is real. I actually had to have my hubby massage my breasts for me because the pain was just too much. I'm so thankful he was so supportive of my breastfeeding journey especially in the beginning. Now going 20 months strong and I'm finally getting ready to wean her off, which is easier said than done.
Yeah it didn't sound like mastitis to me. As mastitis is when your milk duct gets blocked and boobs engorged ect. I think its probably case of not having correct latch with baby, wrong flange size and too strong of a setting. And lack of use of nipple cream. Its actually kind of sad she wasnt informed on all this.
As with my daughter due to nipple shape i got sore used some nipple cream and was instantly good and went on for 6months.
oof i am not having children it sounds terrifying💜💜
I've been breastfeeding almost 11 months now... I recently got mastitis and my god. I had a fever, chills, my breast was all hot and excruciatingly painful. I had to put wet heat on it and use a vibrating massager while pumping to work through the clog.
I know motherhood is beautiful and all, but it all just sounds painful and frustrating
It is. The people were more honest about it women would be more prepared to deal with it emotionally
And all the poop.
It is. The best learning experiences of my life. I don't wish motherhood on anyone who doesn't really, really ,really want it.
these are the "crazy stories" its not all like this
@@marilynvenegas7266 amen. Yup.
I am no expert but so many times we as moms are made to feel we will not make enough milk so we over pump and then that creates more issues and oversupply.
breastfeeding is dope nonetheless
ew
👍
Why?

I enjoy listening to the first lady speak. Id listen to her stories all day.
Lol I had that let down, on a public bus, while someone's baby started crying. I was soo happy to have a thick jacket on.
First child, I was spraying milk like a water gun.. lol.. it just came out on its own... anywhere i was... breast pads did nothing to help... ruined many shirts
The second one was my experience. It's just hammered in that you are a failure for not breast-feeding your child. I tortured myself with guilt, ultimately my son lost too much weight in 3days, and I went to formula. He is smart, and healthy today, so to all of us mommas, remember you can only do what's best for you and your baby
#2's flanges were the wrong size. A simple fix could have saved her from all this pain or having to stop if she wanted to continue.
The fire hose boobs was my reality too. My babies would literally choke because my letdown was so strong. I felt like a faucet someone forgot to turn off.
Yes, i know what you mean! Did it happen to you too to became a human milk fountain when the letdown was strong? 😂 It happens to me almost every day, my son it's 1 month old...it's crazy!!
Mehnnn that first mom has the most horror stories with children😂😂😂😂ive seen her on so many horror stories relating to pregnancy and babies
The last story- YES ALWAYS TAKE YOUR PUMP!!! Hahah, I had a similar story where I was going to visit family for the weekend (with my daughter) and figured I wouldn’t need my pump since she’d be nursing from me the whole time, and I only pumped while she got a bottle. At this point she was waking up 1-2 times per night still to eat. For whatever reason, the night before the trip was the first time she slept through the night and I thought hm, should I take my pump? Nahhh she’ll probably wake up tomorrow night. Nope, she slept through the night from then on LOL. My boobs were rock hard and sore the whole weekend, and I’d find myself in the bathroom expressing milk just to get some relief from the pressure!! I pumped the SECOND I got home and literally made 3x the normal amount of milk!!! Moral of the story- ALWAYS TAKE YOUR PUMP!!!!
Haha! Yes I learned quickly after that day.
PlayMathGrow it’s definitely a trial and error process!!!😂
Honestly these are pretty standard breastfeeding stories. Leaking colostrum a couple months before birth, cracked nipples more than likely as a result of the wrong flange size on a pump, I feel for Tameko though being misdiagnosed is awful and happens too often, and lastly..... I've been in that position, though not in my vehicle, more so in a public restroom having to express into a sink. But I have taken my pump in the car and pumped while driving home because my breasts were just so freaking engorged. I weaned my girl at a little over a year, she's now a little over a year and a half, and now I'm 5 months pregnant with girl #2 and intend to breastfeed again lol
Any tips for weaning? Going on almost 2 years now and I'm just about ready to quit
I also find all these stories quite common, except for the story of the third lady.
Breastfeeding is really hard work and painful at the beginning, when the baby does not latch correctly.
My baby had a loot of power from day one, but she couldn't always find the nipple, so I had hematoma all over my boobs at the beginning.
She is 15 months now and we still enjoy it 👍
@@jensiealvarado6276 I don't know totally if it'll help, but with my little I told her the milk was all gone in my breast when she tried to get to them and offered an alternative instead. She was a big sip and go baby, so offering some water or whole milk instead helped to keep her from fussing too much.
The first woman had me laughing within a minute 😂😂😂😂😂
Same I didn't know someone could do that🤣🤣
Breastfeeding horror story: You can't breastfeed
All i can think during the first story was “Exactly!” Lol
I feel awful for each of these womens. The first three all had problems of not having proper education on what was happening which lead to their horror stories :(
I love the first lady, she's hilarious!
Me leaning back, ready to hear these horror stories while breastfeeding my two babies.
I wish the moms had better help with breastfeeding. Babies used nipples as pacifiers long before they had latex nipples/pacis. There are GREAT lactation consultants. If anyone is watching this and struggles, PLEASE don’t let this video discourage you. Reach out for help.
Twins?
Annaelle May Irish twins
Sarah Raigner aw, cute! Congratulations 😋🥳
I heard once: babies don't use nipples as pacifiers, they use pacifiers as nipples. Very low quality nipples.
It shouldn’t ever hurt when you’re nursing, lactation consults would tell you that so weird as a nurse her mom would be like “oh you’re just stressing” like uh no that is not normal
No nursing can be a little painful if your overworking yourself and she was. It eventually got infected. Nursing can hurt for some people, all boobs are different.
Pain is symptom that the breast feeding sessions needs some adjusting. Simple tea bags helped when my nipples started bleeding. Gave my husband a brand new joke, though.😉
Not all nurses are trained lactation consultants.
Chanah Minuk no and I don’t expect them to know all the ins and outs, but breastfeeding is common enough they should know that pain means something is not right. It’s not that complicated.
Marilyn Venegas pain at the start, not 3 months in and progressively getting worse. Either the baby’s not latched properly or something is wrong
While pumping I saw my blood burst out. Still trauma. 😱😱
the last mom, omg, can you even imagine
I was the same with my first pregnancy as the first woman. Maybe not slip n’ slide but it was a full stream once I would get the let down.
I'm a breastfeeding mother, i don't understand: what do you mean by "it was a full stream"? You mean that your boobs sprayed milk? It happens to me many times, when i have a letdown sometimes i'm like a fountain of milk 😂
I didn't want to watch this video but when I saw Allison I was like oh yessss I'm watching. This woman is soo funny😂
As a mom i can easily relate with the 1 and 2 stories.
I was starving for the first few weeks of my life because by mom couldn’t produce milk but the doctors wanted her to keep on trying then she finally switched to formula
people who think breast feeding is the only way to feed your baby are stupid, formula is just as healthy and as long as your baby is eating there shouldn't b a problem 🤦♀️
@@Haleycallaghan if we're going to be technical here, formula is not just as healthy.
@@zombiedietitian as an alternative to a malnourished baby i would say so
@@Haleycallaghan no duh.
@@zombiedietitian so then theres no issue. have a good day 👍🏻
It was like a dairy farm 😆😆
This is why I will never have children. The nine months and giving birth is already too much!!😫😥
@Faffy More like years lol :D
9 months if you're lucky I went over with all three 7 days first 7 days again with second and 11 days over with the third -_- I love all my babies but it's hard and painful no one who isn't 100% sure they want this should because even when you do it's still hard. That's why I'm pro-choice.
I can’t get enough of this lady.. she’s amazing
Yes!! Alison is back!!! She is too funny.
I love that they keep using the first two moms.
So glad my breastfeeding journey has been easy. Also mastitis is NOT an infection of the nipple...not sure why she said that. It’s an infection in your milk ducts
I dont ever wanna get pregnant ...😑😑
Why.. are you terrified ?
Wut? Nani?? ononono!
Edit: u end up getting pregnant
Think about nine months of pain I guess then after you get the best reward ever , a child !!
Please, change your mind! There Is nothing wrong with having a child. I have two. They are four years old and 9 months old, they are healthy and strong. If I could, so do you!
@@elizabethorfalo aww❤.!! So much love and support for you💕🥺
9:41 omg what a legenddddd
*blushing* it was literally the only option I had, I was in so much pain lol
When you are watching the video *before* youtube notifies you...
props to the moms
hey who loves As/Is
That first story 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣slip and slide
Had the same experience with the first one 😭😭 I was about 6/7 months pregnant and took a nap with my bf, woke up in a puddle thinking it was drool..... turned out to be breast milk 😅 of course we freaked out and called my mom
I would literally produce a gallon of milk a day. I had to pump every 2 hours because of the engorgement 😥
@@MiaaaaSki Found that out the hard way, eventually I just produced what was needed🤦🏻♀️
It levels off because the baby leaves some milk in the breast, which signals the body to produce less milk next time since not all of it was consumed. Comparatively, continuing to pump or nurse after the breast is emptied signals the need for more milk, and that’s why you get a second or even third letdown reflex. A few days of that and the average output goes up as a result.
Thank God for formula! I couldn’t breast feed because we couldn’t get a good latch, and just like Krista I pushed myself. After 5 days my doctor told me I had to stop because they were so raw 😭
Thank goodness for formula. Unfortunately, nurses and doctors are not the best breastfeeding advisors. Some have improved, but even alternative health providers have trouble. Poor purple mouth. Reminds that we're still human.
In brazil over lactating is so common that we have a government funded storage of milk for the moms that don’t have enough of it
If these women would have had access to an IBCLC, they may have had better breastfeeding journeys. (I know one said they saw a LC.) I feel bad for the woman who's mom was a nurse. That had to have been super painful. It could have been mastitis, but more likely a poor latch. And those wondering about the purple mouth, Gentian Violet is sometimes used for thrush (yeast infection in the mother's breast and baby's mouth). I haven't personally used it, but heard its super messy. But good for all of them for giving it a go, its not always easy.
I’m starting to rethink breastfeeding
Find a good support system. These stories make it sound like everything is terrible. Anytime there is an issue you can work with an IBCLC to troubleshoot. I’m 16 months into Breastfeeding my son, and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon. If it’s what you want to do, you can definitely do it.
I breastfed for 9 years between my kids. I loved it! It’s the best thing for babies.
It does get easier, the first two weeks of having my daughter breastfeeding was terrible. I had an experience like the second mom, it hurt every time she latched and I wanted to give up so bad. Using lanolin cream and trying hard to fix my daughters latch and make sure it was correct helped so much! I had virtually no problems for 9 more months.
The 3rd woman... 💔 talk about medical negligence.. why would they put her on Diflucan if she didn’t have a yeast infection??? And then the baby 🤦🏽♀️ have those doctors never heard of a gram stain test?? 😭
A yeast infection is a fungal infection. Gram stain testing is to test whether the bacteria are gram-positive or gram-negative. Two separate things.
Melissa Treece here’s a cookie 🍪 and an “A” for effort 💫
i get always the same moral out of tough mom stories: DON'T HAVE KIDS
@Faffy yeah i can imagine that :
@Faffy I think that depends on the man though
or be well informed and avoid most issues, most of the issues on this video have an easy solution that a lactation consultant could have resolved in no time.
my mom had my sister at 15. she felt like a failure because my sister would get sick when she would eat. turns out she was allergic. 5 years later my mom had me and was so excited to breast feed me but ended up with mastitis. she sometimes wonders 30/25 years later if thats why she feels like we didnt have a good bond. its not but its funny how thats still on her mind.
hearing all of this just makes me hurt without hurting. women are something else, for real.
I'm not even female but I can still physically feel the 2nd story
Alison is so funny omg love her
the first mom, OMG, i would watch a youtube channel of hers. She's so funny and real.
I hope I'm not the only one who loves to see Krista talking
Oh my god the second one sounded so painful😨.I was horrified.
Guys if your nipple chaps remember to use lanolin. If breastfeeding is painful consult a lactation consultant because you're not doing it right. Theres no shame in seeing someone but dont hurt yourself or give up on it so easily. Of course if you just dont want to thats fine but dont give up just because you havent learned the correct latch. Also if you feel pain when your milk is coming in this pain is normal. While the colostrum turns into real milk it can be very painful so thats up to you on if you want to push through
I was crying at the first story with the slip and slide because I’ve been there! 😂
@@Chiara.G My nursing days are over but I definitely had it happen many times. Better to laugh about it.
With my first I have her a pacifier before you could latch properly and that messed me up big time. But with this second baby she's already 4 months and I haven't given her a paci and she's doing great. Formula or breast milk both ways are great.
Slip and slide and expressing milk on the side of the road?! 🤣🤣🤣
The yeast infection is called Thrush. My son and I ended up with it and it was so weirdly hilarious how purple his mouth was!
The 2nd story was what happened to me with my 2nd child. It hurts sssoooo bad!!!
When my eldest was about a week old I fell asleep feeding him. He ended up latching off then latching back on awkwardly as I slept to where the top of my nipple was rubbing against the roof of his mouth and I got blisters. I had to pump that side for about 6 weeks waiting for it to heal enough for him to nurse that side again, all the while breaking the blisters and bleeding a little every time I pumped.
Love the baby stories!
I Absolutely Love Alison
The third baby was so cute 🥰
Love how Krista is always there. I love her personality lol pfft-
Yes Tameko!!!! I had the exact same thing with my son as a newborn. He was on my breasts for hours! I was in so much pain, raw nipples and all. I gave in and gave him a dummy, best thing I ever did lol
I started lactating when I was like 6 months, it was so frustrating!!
When I'm a mum I'm going to use my breastmilk for cereal
The second one made me cringe and almost cry just imagining the pain, she's a tuff one.
I recognized that little purple mouth situation immediately. I have pics of little guy's purple mouth time. Gentian violet.
My baby is due anytime now...im scaring myself watching this lmao
these are definitely rare occurrences! my baby is 6 weeks old and breast feeding has been a lot of work but not terrible or scary by any means. breast pads are a definite MUST though, the leaking is crazy especially at first before your supply regulates
It's really not that bad. I breastfed for 6 years straight. Now I'm waiting for the next baby to breastfeed to get here. For me it was easy and I'm lazy. Washing bottles.... no thanks. Plus it's free and changes with the babies needs.
I relate so much with the first story
This is my favorite channel now 😂😂😂😂♥️
tyhe nipple pain is because of bad latching or the size and strenght of your pump can also cause scabs. sorry you had to have this experience... you did so great though !
And mastitis is caused by not enough emptying of your breasts.. so because of the pain you empty less and then you get mastitis
The second story, OW! Yeah, I would stop breastfeeding immediately if I saw blood come out of my boobs. That is not okay.
My first midwife appointment was at 20 wks (thanks to them being busy plus COVID) I had a midwife who was very judgy. Didn't like her at all. She flat out told me I was too fat to breast feed but she had to give me the info anyway. Luckily I'm a nurse and knew she was full of BS (by the way she was far more overweight than I was). But it still made me anxious. I've seen the research and real life advantages of breast milk (exclusive and mixed feeding). I'm about 3 weeks from delivery and my boobs keep leaking after a shower. About to start expressing and I don't think it'll be a problem. Shows her.
My mom was still in college when she had her first baby. She was in class when suddenly she saw there is milk all over her table. She was leaking so much she had her friends cover her and she quickly rushed home.
I can’t imagine how awkward that must have been to have to leave class because you leaked breastmilk all over a table.
Katherine Jeans Yeah it was very awkward for her and she was embarrassed but it wasn’t her fault lol
Ju Parisa lol I understand. As much as a childless teenager can understand.
Chiara Gelmi lol the only experience I have that is similar to you moms is me leaking on my period in middle school. but I am sure that is not close to leaking breastmilk on tables.
Katherine Jeans Same here 😂😂
Great stories. As a mom and a nurse I can relate to so many of these stories. Especially the breast pads. Give babies all the love they need then let them fall asleep to some beautiful sounds on my channel.
I used to laugh when people said that being a mom was the hardest job on earth. Then I became a mom..... 🙃
For the record; I had to call poison control for the 4th time in 6 months this morning
Alison is forever my favorite
The slip and slide 😂
Oh my days. I thought giving birth was the hard part. This nightmare never ends.
Alison is back 😂 yaaas.
Clicked for Allison, stayed for Allison
I used to know when my son was going to wake up from a nap, because the let down reflex kicked in 5 minutes before he woke. Also, I had a sore nipple for a hile when he was newborn, on the right side, and nearly gave up breastfeeding, but persevered, put kamillosan cream on my nipples, and they seemed to toughen up after a few months. Breast feeding then became enjoyable ===== I continued for 5 years. My son is super intelligent ------ he also never had vaccinations or antibiotics., and had homeopathic medicines if he got sick.
Hi! ☺️ My experience is similar to yours. (Sorry if my english it's not perfect, i'm from Europe).
By the way, i'm still breastfeeding my 4 years old son and i'm so happy about it. I really enjoy breastfeeding. And yes, i have a strong let down too. The first year of breastfeeding, when my baby cried, my breast started to leak or even SPRAY milk! 😅 Did it happened to you too? Did you have a lot of milk even after 5 years of breastfeeding your son?
Thank you 💗
The second and third story tho oooouuuchhhh
Nipple scab 😭😭😭
Already one dislike bro you haven't even watched the we video 😂
I love this channel so much
My dad felt the need to inform me that when I was a baby, my mom’s nipple about fell off from breastfeeding me.... (he brought it because he says I have weird mouth chemistry since I get canker sores all the time)
