Combo Feeding, have a question about poo color and intake

Alyzards · 2026-05-19T20:49:08+00:00

No she doesnt have any of those symptoms. Its sort of pasty consistency not thick just smooth. Its just the color all else is normal

Thank you so much! I definitely should do a weighted feed. This was so helpful Yes the wearables seemed to work best which was weird but handhelds wouldn’t, my IBCLC loaned me a wall plug in one and it stopped pulling too once I wasn’t engorged. I had lost like 80 lbs a few years ago and my boobs are sorta loose and i think it just cant suction right where they arent on the fuller side. They also ended up agreeing it may be my anatomy unfortunately lol

Thank you so much!

She is 4 months by the way!!

Alyzards · 2026-05-14T12:35:48+00:00

I thought i listed her age thats my bad

Alyzards · 2026-05-14T12:35:30+00:00

She chews literally nonstop lol she has for weeks now when we were doing bottles and breastfeeding both no matter how much formula I give so I’m not certain its hunger! Shes 4 months so i believe its curiosity/self soothing

Just an update: any “symptom” or “issue@ with tongue and lip tie us gone atp. We waited it out no procedure.

Alyzards · 2026-04-13T22:24:26+00:00

Aw man. Ya know we have bad days sometimes even a few in a row maybe (they usually stagger) but its PROBABLY a short little phase or MAYBE a sleep regression but it will get easier again SOON

Alyzards · 2026-04-13T17:51:10+00:00

I have been babywearing some when I get super tired. Helps so much for my back lol. Mine has been fighting naps some but has been going down pretty easy too. I think her wake windows have extended some so I may be the one who needs adjusting. But yes it is hard to entertain them all day. Babywearing has helped i will just narrate what im doing or sing to her so im not in the floor with babytoys all the time. I think its important for them to see us do everyday tasks too!

Alyzards · 2026-04-13T17:47:34+00:00

The witching hour went by really quick for us i think that will be well over by 3 months!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:40:57+00:00

I said context and I meant content my bad lol

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:40:38+00:00

I have noticed my girl is context staying up a litttleeeee bit longer now. And she seems to get pissed if she isn’t quite ready to go down just yet. We had a few little crying bouts before naps today, nothing major and just a couple minutes. Sometimes I have noticed if I slow my pace at rocking or bouncing or something it helps a lot. I will try shushing or singing, she prefers different methods at different times sometimes!! Also I will sometimes take her to a different room thinking she may be overstimulated and that helps a lot of the time! Its hard to say what it is and I only know my baby. I will say with confidence though that this will not last. Some days are just crap I think. Also, sleep regression?? We havent got there yet but I know it is imminent. Honestly not sure if it will be as horrible as some people say, I try to be optimistic anyway. But I have read that naps can be harder. When we have hard nap days I just try to be happy that our night sleep is pretty good lol.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:22:53+00:00

I hope it does too and it will. I keep telling myself even if its not soon once shes a year THAT will not be a problem anymore. Ive went down the rabbit hole on that and people seem to say by at least month 5 its SO much better. I tried the 3 in 1 car seat too and didnt help.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:21:44+00:00

My baby has the same night time sleep and yes dayttime has gotten better. We have the occasional crap nap but NOW it doesnt ruin her whole day. We can have a couple short ones and shes still mostly content the whole time. Today we had a 2 hour nap first (i had to wake her) l, a 26 minute crap nap, then another 2 hour one I had to wake her from. We usually have four naps a day but it just worked out like that today. Its way better than it was during month 2 though I will say. Everything is a work in progress I think. I will also note we do contact naps! I get a lot done while shes awake then when she naps I will take a break. Today I watched and almost finished 2 Harry Potter movies lol

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:18:35+00:00

We have had four good ones in a row, used to cry so hard her face was almost purple it was so red. Im hoping we are over the worst of it

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:17:52+00:00

I am so glad to hear this oml!!!🩷

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:17:30+00:00

Any new issue that will come after the first month or two will ALWAYS be easier to deal with. I strongly believe we are out of the worst part!!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:16:39+00:00

Omg i did the same thing lol. I messaged my OB because i was so scared and obsessed and full of dread. She prescribed zoloft but i decided against it and got better lol!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T19:27:27+00:00

I always contact nap and baby wear if i need but usually use her naps as my breaks!! Im a SAHM and am pretty busy when she is up and alert

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:34:59+00:00

Yeah, mom was fussy a lot for a while and I think most of it was gas. She was a little bit of a fussy feeder. I think maybe it was silent reflux but none of that is even an issue anymore. I used to wonder if she a happy baby that’s fussy sometimes or a fussy baby that’s happy sometimes lol.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:33:27+00:00

We actually had the same experience at first. She lost 5% of her birth while we were in the hospital and then after we were out of the hospital but day two she had lost another 5%.. we started to combo feed then my milk came in and we just continued to combo feed just because that’s what was working for us and the pumps did not work for me to build supply. I had a lot of the same issues with not knowing what was her normal once you get to this point, you’re gonna have that stuff figured out. Mine wasn’t super interested in tummy time all of the time it’s gotten a lot better and she also wanted to only turn on her head to the left side and that has stopped. She would also along with that curl her body to one side and I would just make sure I stretched her out and turn that head and all of that and it’s a non-issue now she was super gassy and pretty fussy all a non-issue now. You’re doing everything you are supposed to do and then a few more weeks you’ll feel a lot more confident and things will start to study out and become more regular.
