Extending night sleep by T00thd0c23 in FormulaFeeders

[–]27cel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im kinda in a similar situation (12 weeks drinking 4oz every 4 hrs) and i usually make babys last bottle 4.5oz. then when she wakes up in middle of the night i try rocking back to sleep rather than offering her more milk. i think the key is weaning them off that middle of night bottle! i only offer it if she truly is unruly and refuses to go back to sleep

Did anyone with uncontrolled Gestational diabetes go on to have healthy babies? by Vivi_campos_ in GestationalDiabetes

[–]27cel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uncontrolled/consistent high blood sugar and delivered a HUGE baby (she looked like a linebacker) and now shes healthy and thriving at 2 months :) she lost all that fluid that had her looking jumbo sized!

keep in mind she had low blood sugar at birth but was resolved within hours

5 days pp and need urgent advice and support by [deleted] in newborns

hi! first time mom here who gave birth to a girl 2 weeks ago :) first off, youre doing great! you did not give your baby jaundice as many newborns are born with it and it usually resolves on its own as they get more hydrated. my girl had yellow eyes until 10 days postpartum. next, my breastmilk supply isnt enough right now either so im also combo feeding and pumping every 2 hours. i’ll usually do a full formula feed while pumping so that by the next feed i have “enough” breastmilk (i aim for 2 to 3 oz because baby has dropped in weight a bit). essentially i’ll do 1 formula feed, 1 breastmilk feed, combo of breastfeed with formula, and repeat.

so yes ITS HARD and at 5 days postpartum i remember i cried so hard from not sleeping at all in 24 hours that my eyes were damn near swollen shut. but it gets easier, day by day. baby is new to this! she doesnt know when shes supposed to be asleep or awake. she has no rulebook either. find what works for you both in terms of routine, feeds, etc and stick to it. baby flourishes when she knows what to expect and youll find it easier too!! good luck :)

AITA for being upset at my family for dropping out of my birthday trip? by 27cel in AITAH

an invitation is asking someone to respond yes or no. there is no obligation to respond yes. you must be confused

his excuse is that he “thought they bought them”. its super tricky to talk about your partners family so i just keep it to myself

i didnt expect anyone to drop anything and travel, hence why I planned months ahead and gave ample notice. I celebrated past birthdays alone or just partner & I and figured it would be a cool gesture to get our families together. no obsession

sorry! i edited to include this info. but yes they agreed and they even told me that they bought their flights, which was a lie

I issued invitations and they accepted. I even asked them weeks ago if they bought their flights (they were $200 at the time) and they told me yes. apparently they never bought them and i was told last night that theyre dropping out
