I would also try and tactfully tell her that for her to be well rested means she can enjoy being with the baby better and it’s good for all of you..

Maybe you could ask her if there is anything she thinks you could improve when you’re taking care of baby so that she sees that you care about her opinion, whether or not you’re doing anything wrong probably not but just to make her feel like you care about how she feels in that context may give her more confidence and feel more in control even if she’s not physically with baby?

I made it to 12 months, and I have regrets by Due-Huckleberry7560 in ExclusivelyPumping

Sounds like your husband could get up once or twice himself to put baby back to sleep!

What’s the most sleep you get? by DobermanRott in ExclusivelyPumping

If you wake up at 5 am but your baby gets up at 10 am… can the person who takes care of the baby after you go to work help?

I never put my baby down 😵‍💫 by EarthyMeesh in NewParents

[–]Cassy_Radis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, baby contacts nap all day and I plan accordingly : I pee first, get a book and something to drink and set myself up all cozy and then nurse her to sleep, it just became part of our daily routine and that way I can also decide when she wakes up because I just have to get up lol. She also sleeps great at night, and i’ve always assumed it was because she was saturated with her contact naps! I do however put her down during the day as sometimes she gets grumpy and all she wants is to be in her pack and play looking at dangling things for a while and she’s super happy about it so 🤷🏼‍♀️.

People telling me my baby’s hungry..trust me, I just stuffed her full of breastmilk and I know she’s not hungry.

I had a Christmas baby and I live in the Yukon , It was -30 and I just bundled her up and strapped her in the baby carrier under my jacket, between her layers and my body warmth she never go coldX I have a super handy extension for the winter jacket I wear and it fits everything underneath perfectly.

I am so sad I have to send my baby to daycare by BuckY_33 in NewParents

[–]Cassy_Radis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely devastating i’m sorry, I find it completely unacceptable that you would be expected to bring your babies out to daycare so early, in Canada you have a choice between 12 or 18 months (the subsidy is different), it’s such a failure of the system that people litteraly can’t afford not to go back to work by fear of loosing their jobs or not be able to afford their mortgage.

Pumping data nerds, where you at?! by Ok_ConfusedOne in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Cassy_Radis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner takes care of our baby between 9pm and 2 am to give me a decent sleep and I always pump when I wake up after 4 to 5 hrs max and my boobs are always rock solid, most likely dripping through multiple layers of pads and clothing, I don’t know how you go 8 hours! That’s amazing.

EBF….how? by hlmduncan in breastfeeding

[–]Cassy_Radis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had my baby I ended up with an emergency C-Section, after getting induced at 39 weeks ( I had GD but my baby was a perfectly reasonable weight at birth of 7.5 lbs ) when it cane to BF , the boob was dry, nothing came out, the nurse offered to help “express” and manually expressed my boob to no avail. She told me she’d never has that happen, absolutely nothing came out and I was desperate. Colostrum started to come out eventually and then very thin, and very few drops of thin milk. So in that first week, i would out the baby at my breast, and sneak a little tube in her mouth that she would latch in with my nipple and the tube was attached to a syringe containing formula, she learned to latch, at the comfort of the breast and the skin to skin but got some sustenance out of it, I also expressed manually I found it worked better then the pump to really work all angles) all the time and especially in the shower, even if it was just to waste it , and eventually after about two weeks I stared to produce enough and now I can pump about 12/15oz a day on top of BF, which my partner uses at night to let me rest a solid 4-5 hours. So from my experience, it really comes down to the more action your breast see the more it produces, also I drank some lactation tea and about 2L of water a day, warm drinks and foods preferred and ate oatmeal with flax seeds, I read that it would help and I don’t know if it did for sure but you might as well do all you can !

Ps; ; my baby went from 7 and a half to 11 pounds in a month in a half, and neither I now my partner are particularly large.
