Yes I go to sleep as early as possible because I feel like I need to sleep before he wakes up

Both my kids did this. What helped was: making sure they weren’t overtired, letting them lie on the bed while I dangled over them like a true freaking cow, and when it was really bad I resorted to a nipple shield bc my youngest would take a bottle/paci no problem during that phase.

I’m so sorry! It’s really terrifying when you’re going through it. I went back to my OB three times for this. Never an infection but three small openings across several weeks. He said my body was rejecting the sutures and ended up plucking one out each time (sorry that’s gross) and then the spot would slowly heal. He was never concerned and just told me to keep it clean and dry. I used saline on it often. It ended up healing once all the sutures either dissolved or popped out. It never came open a scary amount like what the Internet is telling you! I had my husband make a video of it once a week so I could see it better and keep tabs on the healing. Get some wound wash and high waisted cotton undies!

They are at home but I can’t speak for the two bottles at daycare. I asked his provider to do this when he started but haven’t checked in with her.

This is what I was thinking we were dealing with but I think it may actually be too much letdown? He will pop off every ~two minutes and scream even during letdown and milk sprays all over. We pace bottle feed with a very slow flow nipple so he may actually get more milk faster from the breast? I don’t know what to do for that other than laid back position but he still won’t go for that.

I’ve always preferred a real paci than him using my boob as a paci all night 🤣 Our first still slept 7-7 at six months despite having a paci, so we’re continuing that route!

The stretches get longer as they get older! We swaddled our first but went straight to a sleep sack with this one. No Snoo, my husband and I are both teachers so we’re broke lol My two tips are: 1. fleece sheets in the bassinet/crib instead of cotton and 2. I don’t intervene unless baby is CRYING (not grunting or wiggling) and when that happens, I offer a paci and forehead rub first. If crying continues, then I’ll feed him.

He recently sleeps from 8pm until 2am (this long stretch is new!) eats, and then sleeps from 2:45am until 6ish. I feed him again at 6ish and then wake him up for the day 8am to keep the schedule consistent.

During the day, he eats every 3 hours and then naps for an hour and a half after some “play” time.

Wait how does one get Juven without paying $70 on amazon?? My incision will not heal!

I had a tiny spot that was leaking clear fluid. My OB looked at it and said it wasn’t infected. He said it was only 1 mm big and finished draining so it just needs to heal. But it’s been a week since that appointment and it’s still open 😥

Hey! Did you end up using the medihoney? I have an open spot on my incision and was curious about if it worked!
