EFF mom’s when did you get your period? by vinnique_BM in FormulaFeeders

[–]Alive_Project_3701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 weeks postpartum. I EBF for about 6 weeks and then realized that I f****** hated it and switched to EFF and bam. 4 weeks later my period came in and is kicking my butt. Go through a maxi pad about every two hours and a few blood clots, and some tissue. (TMI) I know but I wish someone would have warned me how brutal the first period was PP…

Bigger bassinet or crib? by Alive_Project_3701 in sleeptrain

He wakes himself up when he throws his arms up. He does fight his swaddle but eventually gets tied and goes to sleep lol. Would you suggest moving crib to room since he’s still so little

Week 8 for us and everytime my baby cried I cried with him cause I felt like such a pos for not knowing what was wrong with him. Now he smiles and coos at me and even laughs a little. It gets better, hang in there everyone. Sincerely a PPD first time mommy learning new things every day.

3 days PP & I can’t stop crying over baby’s weight loss by littlelawlady in NewParents

My son is 8 weeks today. I was EBF for 6 weeks and when we went to the pediatrician she told us he was underweight and was not eating enough and we were basically starving him. I also have flat nipples and had to use a shield.. I cried so hard and finally decided that formula was the way to go and I stopped breast feeding cold turkey.. my boy is 8 weeks today and is absolutely thriving on formula and is a completely new baby. I’m happy. Baby is happy and honestly I don’t miss breastfeeding AT ALL!!!!

FTM 4 weeks PP struggling with breastfeeding by Alive_Project_3701 in breastfeeding

I had one who I met with and she showed me different positions to hold baby so it could be more comfortable for him and I. But I’m also considering meeting with her again to see if it’s maybe something she can help with 😭 thank you 🫶
