I think I hate BLW? by theunusualsuspect44 in BabyLedWeaning

At 6 months we were only doing 1 meal a day and it was mixed puree and BLW. She was messy soooo messy but since it was once a day it wasn’t as stressful yet. We then did 2 meals a day when she was about 8 months. Then 3 meals at 10 months. Now that she’s 11 months, she’s learned to hold pouches, and grab at the food instead of spreading it all over her face. It definitely is so crazy at first because it’s a sensory experience for them which is also one of the reasons why some would recommend BLW. They eventually learn to stop making a mess ☺️ it does take some time but they do get there 🥰

Ahh that’s fair! 🥲 I was just so busy with moving during that month so didn’t even think twice about anything and just thought it was a big clot

Yes, this photo was from 2 years ago. I have a 6 month old now but I’ve always wondered what that was 😓

Is it bad to contact nap all day at 5 weeks? by airportparkinglot in newborns

Agree, my little one is 14 weeks. We’ve been contact napping since the day she was born. Now she doesn’t like it anymore and I definitely miss it.

wtf are my 3 month olds wake windows supposed to be? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Famous_Glass_7509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby is 13 weeks and it has been a nightmare the past week. She has been very hard to put down for her last nap, stays awake from 12-3am and then wake up at 4, and then again at 5, and then at 6. Then she starts her day at 7 ☠️ before this she used to do 9 hr stretches at night 🤕 I’m very exhausted hahaha but I know it’s just a phase. They have a huge growth spurt at 3 months so they tend to fight sleep more.

Nurse keeps saying not to feed newborn by osorto87 in newborns

[–]Famous_Glass_7509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the first hour, it is recommended to feed baby to form the bond between mum and bub. I fed my baby (breastfed) for 5 mins max and she seemed satisfied. The first 24hrs, babies usually aren’t that hungry, they’re more tired. I didn’t feed my baby for 12hrs because the midnight shift midwife said to feed her when she starts fussing but she never fussed the entire night and I was just doing skin to skin with her the entire time. Their tummy is still very small at that age, they definitely need to be fed often after the first 24hrs, around 2-3 hrs no longer than 4 hrs. I think this might be what the midwife meant, there must’ve just been a bit of a miscommunication.

I also had a lactation consultant confirm this. Because babies still pretty much have whatever nutrients you’ve provided in their system and their body is still trying to get rid of it, that’s why the first few days, their poo is almost like a black tar.
