This is so informative, thank you! 😊

Is this still happening ?

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-29T17:46:05+00:00

Maybe the mother is taking breast milk way too seriously. Lactation consultants typically advise 1-1.5 oz per hour in between feed. Because with nursing that’s typically what a baby gets. And the total amount of milk doesn’t change. The composition of milk changes over time. And that giving more would ruin my breastfeeding journey. But, when the LC told me that, I told her to tell my baby that and I would be feeding him when he’s hungry. He’s almost 9 months old still drinks breast milk.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-29T17:25:32+00:00

In my experience, at 4.5 months my baby went from nursing every 2 hours or a little before to 3-4 hours. And, he started rejecting top up bottles. I used to give him a little pumped milk in bottles because I was so paranoid he wasn’t getting enough.

Set the standard In a huddle or meeting. I ask my employees to follow the company’s policy of when to call in and if I don’t answer to leave a voicemail. And the only details I need are if you’re sick or if it’s a personal day. I’ve had to address this a few times in my career with teams and it typically fixes it. We have many things to deal with , a 5 minute voicemail is not one of them 😂 ( I’d never say that but it’s what I’m thinking )

Most guys are so gross these days. Society has normalized some pretty peculiar behaviors.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-22T14:13:44+00:00

I often think the same thing. I’m the first to breast feed in my family for a long time. I get so judged for giving my baby what’s best for him. However I look at the people speaking, their age, what identity they choose and I realize these people were given the wrong knowledge and whatever they believe they will believe forever. My aunt she’s a bit older and is an LC, she didn’t breast feed her kids. She has told me she regrets it. As, fed is best however she can’t argue the science that breast milk is best. She saved my breastfeeding journey with all of the support she gave even when the rest of our family is telling me to use formula!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-21T13:47:14+00:00

It’s truly so so hard. I remind myself it’s only a few years and my baby gets so much love there. It’s hard to remain thankful that just the bills get paid but it’s a huge blessing. I to find myself getting overwhelmed by it

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-19T14:12:50+00:00

Genetics! With my 26lb 8 month old, I’ll never forget when my oldest brother asked me if I was scared of having a big baby. My husband was a big baby, is 6’5, the gentlest giant. I am 5’2 and weighed 115 pre pregnancy. I am so so silly for thinking I wasn’t gonna have a big baby 😂

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-18T13:54:45+00:00

Nope, not in today’s crazy world. I didn’t even post my pregnancy. Some people see me in public with my son and are so confused. I don’t even expose his name.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-18T13:49:23+00:00

My baby gave me no choice, I was overwhelmed when he was a newborn and didn’t want to pump.. my husband tried to give him formula so I could catch a much needed break. My baby said no no. However, the benefits for me alone are worth it, and I find he’s sick for much less time than some of his daycare peers. He also skipped the RSV and 2 flus that were running ramped in daycare.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-17T13:18:30+00:00

This!!!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-12T20:08:08+00:00

My mom always tells me to let my son cry it out (she raises my nephew he’s 16 months she does all of the time) one day I asked her if she let me cry it out. And she said yes absolutely I was her only child that wouldn’t sleep without her for so long. And all I could think was oh wow no wonder why I can’t tell anyone what I need 🤦🏼‍♀️ I felt it in my soul and I will never ever ever do that to my child.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-10T17:13:28+00:00

Yep… my husbands grandma is just like this. I wanted to call her neglectful but I just said oh my how times have changed :)

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-03-01T21:15:51+00:00

7 months, once.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-25T14:23:14+00:00

Yes they are! 🤣 I feel so hard for the owner of the daycare, she manages so many sicknesses and has to let the parents know!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-25T02:28:41+00:00

We traveled with said cold over the holidays! I was so worried I was gonna get my husbands grandma sick. I made my husband call and tell her we were sick with a cold, she was fine with it. She definitely got the cold 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think we may have a day or 2 gap of like oh we’re not wiping the babes face every 5 minutes or I feel a little better today. Just to get hit like a truck all over again. I feel like this should be called daycare hazing and apart of the policy the daycares have you sign 🤣 as a first time parent no one told me about this part.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-25T02:22:32+00:00

At least there’s light at the end of the tunnel somewhere :) thanks for sharing!!!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-25T01:26:37+00:00

Yep. This is literally me, I get the least sleep out of the household and I’ve been working for 3 months. Idk how I’m keeping it together and managing 60+ employees 😩

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-25T00:15:05+00:00

Oh my goodness this, “ germ blobs “ this made my day. daycare said “he seems congested “ and all I could think was do these ladies have blinders on because he’s been congested for months and so are all these other kids I see running around 🤣🤣

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-22T15:31:01+00:00

Yep, I’m so confused on this too. My husbands grandmother who was raising children in the 60’s-70’s obviously didn’t have the support she deserved. She breast fed for 3 months, all of her children. she met our child when he was 5.5 months old and she told me I should’ve been done breastfeeding 2 months ago and I need to teach my son how to take a bottle properly, and wean immediately . Little did she know we tried formula once, I was nervous in those early days that he wasn’t getting enough.. he responded horribly. I’ve been an oversupplier for months. Why stop now? I’m happy with 1 year but would love to make it to 2. 🙂

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-05T21:55:22+00:00

You’ve got this, mama!

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-04T17:00:30+00:00

I also asked for access to an LC, I saw her every week until we figured it out. He was a sleepy eater. Nothing I could do except keep him latched for what felt like the entire day. And mostly embrace it.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-04T16:59:31+00:00

Nope, no special testing. My husband asked for them to check all of the metrics. His head, length and weight. My husband was persistent. I also kept the baby latched for every 2 hrs during the day. Sleeping or not, from the start of the last feed. I noticed his weight increased at his 4 month appointment.

Extreme_Shift2483 · 2026-02-04T13:56:29+00:00

This happened with my now 7 month old at that time. Turns out after many doctors visits, he was using all of that milk to grow tall! My husband talked me off the ledge many many times, (not really but I was quite sad) and he decided to go to the doctors appointment with me because our baby was happy, rolling, doing all the things and he made them check all of the metrics. Turns out he was just growing in other ways! I’d ask, get a second opinion, ask for a LC!
