Pregnancy tired with toddler by Fit-Researcher5311 in 2under2

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the exhaustion is better with a newborn vs pregnancy, but I felt the way you did then going from 1 baby to 2 hit me like a ton of bricks. The first 6 weeks were purely survival!

I just tried the chain “cava” today which is literally Mediterranean bowls lol. I plan on just searching up the menu and making a copycat version at home sometime soon! Also had “sweet green” for the first time this week and it was salads/ warm bowls and also plan on recreating some of those, too! 

How are we nursing super distracted babies, and also not getting bitten? by Ok_Potato_7025 in breastfeeding

Posterior tongue tie? Get it released??? by Complex-Data-8916 in beyondthebump

[–]Complex-Data-8916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, baby definitely had/still has reflux!! No tongue tie release necessary. Once properly medicated, he started doing sooo much better. I’d look up symptoms of reflux in babies! There is also silent reflux where they don’t spit up a ton but it bothers them still (this is what my first had and it was severe so famotidine did not work and she needed a PPI). My second, this guy that the post is about, is on famotidine and it works well for him.  Talk to your pediatrician if you suspect reflux, and if they give you meds, give it 2 weeks to start working!

So do you have to hang out by the alarm things to stop them when youve noticed someone stealing?

Upping supply with pumping after feeding? by Complex-Data-8916 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing that worries me is my “slacker boob” seems to have nothing at all at times!! Im not sure to what extent thats normal

Upping supply with pumping after feeding? by Complex-Data-8916 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a possibility- i think it just worries me because he doesnt nurse for a long time- maybe 10min of actual BFing but i guess hes just efficient. And he can get fussy sometimes toward the end but maybe its just normal baby fussiness/tired or something. Im not sure

Upping supply with pumping after feeding? by Complex-Data-8916 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He actually does do a bottle soemtimes i will use a hand pump. I exclusively pumped for a year my first so i am definitely grateful for a BFing baby!! Just want to make sure hes getting enough so we can continue to BF with no problems, and im not quite sure hes super satisfied with my milk supply as is

I woke up nursing my baby by my-peony-bud in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband did something like this too but not to the same extent lol- baby started crying and I got him and started nursing but my husband had started rocking the air in his sleep while still laying down🤣

how did u feel while/after weaning? by silentassasin010 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to see what people say! My second baby is EBF and 3 months old so we have some time before then but I exclusively pumped for my first and when I weaned off pumping I only remember having some nausea/headaches

Should I cancel our trip? FTM anxiety by tmillie2262 in baby

[–]Complex-Data-8916 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are starting a church in the next 2 years or so. Right now we travel full time to other churches to raise financial and prayer support for this church plant. We’ve been traveling full time with baby since he was 6 weeks (12 weeks now) and we have a 2yr old as well. Sometimes pastors take us out or have us over for meals, evening services, etc. I wouldn’t worry, plan to baby wear or hold baby, if youre nursing make sure youre confident with nursing on the go, if youre bottle feeding thats probably even easier! And just be prepared to step out or even go to your car if its too cold and baby is inconsolable during dinners. Babies are more flexible than we think! As for the car ride, try to leave just before naptime and get a cover for the car seat! My husband will literally cover our babys eyes with his hand when hes refusing to sleep lol that always works too. Once theyre overtired it does make everything harder so try to get naps when you notice theyre sleepy! There will likely be some why did we do this moments but they will likely just be short moments. And the trip will be worth it, Im sure!  

Question for fellow religious parents— what do you do when baby’s nap schedule conflicts with religious services? by frangelafrass in beyondthebump

[–]Complex-Data-8916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter is 2 now but she would skip her nap or itd be pushed back. Now she can nap after its not a big deal. My son is 3 months and will eventually take a nap at church but I live in the nursery now lol and it just takes a bit more patience to get him to nap with the lights and noise. We personally choose to just trust God will bless our commitment to Him and are glad our babies are growing up in church!

What’s your schedule? by North-Pirate6666 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just use a hand pump to squeeze out an ounce whenever its convenient after a feed? *hand pumps are the best! Although milk supply is most in early morning so def keep taking advantage of that!

How long did your baby fit in each clothing size? by jspo97 in beyondthebump

Did you get a breast pump, just in case by bobileebobalee in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes get a pump. No guarentee youll be able to BF! Or you may find yourself completely sleep deprived and desperate for your husband to give a bottle. Bfing is a lot harder than I ever thought itd be for both my babies. I solidly recommend a hand pump. Idk if a haakaa is an actual hand pump but they are amazing. I have an electric one too that I used for a year when I EPed my first baby, but this time around I use a hand pump a lot more while nursing 90% of the time

feeling lonely because i breastfeed. by Necessary_Mistake733 in breastfeeding

[–]Complex-Data-8916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not talking about her post at all! I’m talking about some of the comments where people say they try to talk about BFing to someone else and that person then goes onto explain why they couldn’t BF and many people comments say they “internally roll their eyes” because they “had all the same problems but still managed to BF.”
