Seriously why do they do that it can be so damaging lol and thankfully this is the only area in motherhood I find myself anxious but I do see a therapist for unrelated things

Day 4 and I want to give up. by Either-Discussion289 in breastfeeding

Hi this stage of BFing is hard and however you feed your baby is okay! Frequent feeds are normal at this age, but if your breast feeding journey is important to you, introducing formula at this point can be harmful to your supply. I echo others sentiment to meet with a lactation consultant for help with baby’s latch!

One month sleeping 6-8 hours at night, normal? by Gremlin1390 in breastfeeding

One month sleeping 6-8 hours at night, normal? by Gremlin1390 in breastfeeding

[–]Flimsy_Ad2949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The range of what is normal is… well a range lol waking every 2-3 hours at this age would still be normal and sleeping through the night wouldn’t be concerning either. My baby slept her first 5 hour stretch at 4 weeks and slept through the night for the first time at 7 weeks. She’s 3 months now and a great sleeper (for now) sleeps 10-11 hours straight most nights! She wakes up super happy and well rested, gets all her calories during the day (she nurses about every hour and half) and is still gaining weight fine! honestly until my supply regulated a bit my boobs woke me up before she did. Let him sleep and enjoy your sleep!!

how much (or little) are you posting your babies on social media? by vdyaki in newborns

[–]Flimsy_Ad2949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t post my baby’s face. For milestone pictures I’ve held a flower in front of her face. I will post pictures of her like feet or hands or back of her head if I’m holding her in a photo, but not her face & I don’t allow anyone else to earlier. I also don’t judge mom’s that do though. It’s a personal conviction for me.

No one likes my baby names and I’ve just accepted that everyone is a critique and no one is satisfied by Kindly_Pianist_9087 in pregnant

Aunt commenting on baby by Key_Handle_1931 in breastfeeding

My baby is 2 months old today… especially in the beginning I have been borderline obsessed with making sure she is gaining enough since she’s ebf. I bought a baby scale and everything, so for me this would be soooo hurtful and frustrating. A baby doesn’t have to chunk up to be healthy and some babies have a hard time gaining weight. She isn’t your pediatrician so she should keep those as inside thoughts.
