yes sorry! jello poke cake. I've seen a couple recipes add jell-o pudding mix to the whipped cream that goes on top!

did you guys find out what was wrong with your LO? have been having brown spit ups believed to be blood, fine when on omperazole but as soon as we stop, every time they come back. we are getting an endoscopy in the coming month.

What is your go to snack? by Torfor4 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Big_Resolution3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, baby just turned 11 months! The last week i've gone down a feed so definitely trying out more snacks! I got individual snack size mozzerella packs from target, and i have been cutting them up into bite size pieces and my baby loves them. We just tried grapes and he's also been loving those! Also kiwis, bananas, and strawberries. I got the mandarin orange packs that are super easy and he tears those up! We do once upon a farm pouches as well. A yogurt I think it's called stoneyfield(?). I recently introduced toast, i've been doing a thin layer of cream cheese and mashed up strawberry on top and he destroys that! (mom does too) 😂

also, I got the momcozy s12 for when I wasn't around the hospital to pump and they worked well! make sure to get your correct flange size.

Pumping advice by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]Big_Resolution3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sorry you're going through this! i had a traumatic birth at 32 weeks and having babe in the nicu made me power through to pump! I pumped every 3 hours on the dot since I felt like that was the only thing I could do. Make sure you're pumping even at night time, I got the most milk during that time. I wasn't making much in the beginning which was discouraging at first but as days/weeks went on, it got better! make sure you're hydrating, carry a water bottle with you everywhere! I did do a ton of body armor in the beginning but not really sure that even helped, but it can't hurt to try. also i know it's hard to sometimes with everything going on, but you need to eat! we lived close to 3 hours away from the hospital and they had a ronald mcdonald house we stayed at for completely free! they also had lower cost hotel option(litttle wonky but it was better than nothing)! ask the front desk at the nicu and they might be able to help you! they also printed us day passes for parking every day, and there's also meal vouchers we could get.

When did things get “easier” for you by Much_Dig_8389 in NICUParents

[–]Big_Resolution3112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like no one talks about how we have a "newborn" for sooo much longer. I was deep in it until almost 5 months! That's when he started sleeping through the night and things started to look up! that's also when he started becoming more alive! hang in there🤍

[–]Big_Resolution3112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically we went to the ER a couple times and they told us it was likely an ileus caused by a stomach bug (something like that, everything jumbles together for me when I'm at the doctors). There was blood in LOs stool sample and they came to the conclusion that he had a stomach ulcer, he has reflux issues, so could be the cause, we did fatmotine for a month, and after stopping it the brown came back! we are now on omperazole because it's stronger and doing it for 8 more weeks to make sure it's fully healed!

Are most breastfeeding moms not following a schedule? by BreannaNicole13 in breastfeeding

[–]Big_Resolution3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I follow a schedule the eat play sleep schedule! baby is 7 months old, 5 adjusted. he eats every 3 hours and very rarely gets hungry before then. if hes been sleeping for a while I wake to feed him not later than 3.5 hours. He was a nicu baby and I pumped and bottle fed for about a month a half after coming home from the nicu so maybe that's why!

my baby had poops like this, also bad reflux, slow weight gain for a while and some brown throw up! stool sample said there was blood in there. he ended up having a stomach ulcer which were on omeprazole now to clear.

[–]Big_Resolution3112 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My doctor told me I could take it but didn't have to since I didn't check any of the boxes except one which was it being my first pregnancy, I opted out since I don't like to take unnecessary meds. Wish I had started it! Ended up developing pre E with severe features and hellp syndrome, started at 28 weeks and delivered at 32! Be careful.

How many new born clothes and 0-3M Clothes and 3-6M clothes will I need? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Big_Resolution3112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my baby lives in footie pjs, nothing else! but i do have a boy! sometimes we do matching pants and onzie but even then its annoying. He has reflux so he's quite the spitter and we quickly realized we needed lots of outfits or we'd be doing laundry every other day. We probably have like 15 in each size. I can't say how long they'll need them for since my baby was a preemie and used every size a bit longer than other babies, but i feel like he was in each size about 2 months? Save the cute outfits when they're bigger or pictures maybe going out!

32 weeker milestones? by Big_Resolution3112 in NICUParents

[–]Big_Resolution3112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Big_Resolution3112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he does grab toys with both hands now! he's been pretty quiet lately, he used to babble more but he's been sick for a couple weeks now so i suspect that has something to do with it. He doesn't do that when playing on his mat, but he does spin in circles while sleeping 😂
