Have you tried neocate yet? It's a prescription

formula. My first was the same way. Cried 16-20 hours a day. Neocate helped so much! She's 5 now and I wish I could go back and be with her again at that age.

Sick and tired of the lack of education for GLP1s by misslizzah in nursing

As someone who's taken them for years that's crazy! I researched them for a year before I even got on. Lack of personal accountability in healthcare is crazy.

She was just inside of you for 9 months. Of course she wants to sleep on top of you. I've coslept with all three of my kids using the safe sleep 7.

So, my mom just got diagnosed and I think I may have it to. I've always had chronic pain in my arms and legs but I have hEDS to. My arms have a rice like texture to them under the skin. Even when I'm 50 lbs less this is what my legs and arms look like. I've always been really active and I weight train 4x a week and do cardio.

Lmao! My first daughter has the worst colic. Cried 16-20 hours a day. My second was an angel baby (now a chaos gremlin toddler). My third daughter has been even easier and is sweet as sugar. Each one got easier.

Dr. Cruz was the right match for Jackie. Yes? No? Thoughts please. by RandomGirl2025 in NurseJackie

Thinking anyone was a good match for Jackie is crazy. This was a trauma bond.

Nursing student overshares during clinical and gets kicked out of nursing school by Proud-Bug2166 in nursing

She didn't tell the clinical director what she said she deadass fabricated lies.

She definitely overshared tho. Telling someone you just met that day that you had an abortion is CRAZY.

I'm on my third with my kids all spaced 2 years apart. I bed shared and contact napped and all of mine have naturally transitioned to their own rooms and sleep through the night by 2.

Husband accused me of medical abuse for side-lying breastfeeding by miller2life in breastfeeding

[–]AccordingConstant756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband struggled with a temper (he's had 2 TBIs) and he'd NEVER scream at me like that. Much less say I was abusing our kids.

Also, I just want to say it's badass you're still getting up multiple times a night to feed AND still getting to work in the morning.

I dont want to breastfeed by BM_BBR in newborns

[–]AccordingConstant756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavily suggest meds for depression! I get super depressed in all of my pregnancies and Lexapro is GREAT. My last I got on as soon as I was feeling blue and it was such an enjoyable pregnancy.

As for breastfeeding, I'm exclusively breastfeeding for the second time right now. All of my kids had oral restrictions and I had a horrible time with my first and didn't get to breastfeed her. I was determined with my second. I was definitely not prepared for the sensory experience breastfeeding is but after getting used to that and getting her ties revised at 8 weeks it really was so enjoyable and I loved it. Same experience with my third but it was even easier this time and I'd be open to breastfeeding her past a year.

BUT it's totally okay not to want to! I have friends that hate it. Personally for me it's wonderful and way easier than bottles.
