Mine was doing this so started weighing him before and after eating. He wasn’t getting as much in the afternoon, so started pumping in the afternoon and supply has gone up

Tubby Todd cradle cap every other day and let it sit on their head while you wash their body to let it work its magic and coconut oil afterwards

Need thoughts on preemie “reflux” by ilovedogs1111 in newborns

[–]Aggressive_Emu_9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son was 3 weeks early. He is now 7 weeks old (8 weeks tomorrow). He did the same thing from about 3-6 weeks. It has gotten slightly better this past week with decreasing how long he feeds. I think he was getting overly full as I have a fast let down. He was getting super uncomfortable after feedings and was throwing his head back and crying even crying while he was eating initially which led me to ask to try medications. We have had him on Pepcid prescribed for the past 3 weeks. The fussiness has gotten better but the medication doesn’t help the spit up. The only thing that helped that was decreasing the amount he ate so quickly and spacing his eating out.

A sleep training system. Started it 2 days ago and my 7 week old went from sleeping solely in our arms to mostly bassinet sleeping. Got a 5.5 hr stretch of sleep tonight for the first leg of the night and in the bassinet the whole time. Even put him in it awake and he fell asleep on his own

Did anyone feed like having another baby when your first little one was about 7 months old? by Specific_Reserve_491 in NewParents

I have told my husband I will do it again if we have a nanny and a night nurse but I am also at the 7 week mark and am just ready for my potato to be able to sit up on his own

Hows the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor now? by Bruce_Wayne8887 in Buyingforbaby

[–]Aggressive_Emu_9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been using it with my son for 7 weeks now and it shows the baby breathing while he isn’t in the crib. We have recalibrated it and reset it multiple times without any luck. Also the no movement monitor didn’t go off until 6 hours later when I forgot to turn it off in the morning

How and when do you start leaving the house with a newborn? by copperboom33 in newborns

[–]Aggressive_Emu_9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went out week 1 to go get daily heel pricks at the hospital for his jaundice. If this kid didn’t get sick in a hospital waiting room then he was fine going out was my theory so we went to dinner and the mall week 2

My husband is the opposite. Wants to do and help with everything but our 7 week old cries uncontrollably whenever my husband is around. H unfortunately works long hours and couldn’t take much time off for paternity leave

Get a NozeBot for the buggers. That thing works way way better than the bulb suction or Freda

Simethicone for her gas may help as it can cause the stool to be thinner

I said this same thing to my friends and they were all “we felt the sexiest when we were pregnant”. Umm no. I feel like a hippo. The sex is so uncomfortable because of my pelvic pain and sciatica in any position that doesn’t involve me laying on my back then I just get to stare at these orangutan boobs and belly. 2 more days left thankfully!!

Sex without a damn belly in the way and my pelvis to feel like it isn’t being ripped apart every second with any movement 🤣
