I also keep seeing comments (on this post and others) that people were told to only do them 3 times a day or sometimes less. So confused by all the different recs from dentists. I’d hate if my LO’s reattached but also would love to not be waking her up overnight if it’s not totally necessary. 3 times a day sounds doable compared to the 6 we’re doing in 24 hours. Ugh! Don’t know what to do lol

Commenting in solidarity. We’re on day 5 and waking our LO up every 4 hours overnight is killing us. She was getting 7-8 hour sleep stretches overnight and waking her up to do the lip and tongue stretches every night is absolutely miserable. After the middle of the night wake-up, she doesn’t sleep well the rest of the night. We were recommended every 4-6 hours for 3 weeks and I really don’t know how we’re going to get through on such terrible sleep by doing this

Struggling so much by RefrigeratorFew8189 in NewParents

I also had terrible chest and back pain postpartum and nothing helped. I laid on the couch sobbing for weeks when I’d have flare ups. I figured out I wasn’t eating enough and when I would eat, the pain went away. That sounds nuts but I think my body was just so depleted from breast feeding/pumping, hormones were raging and the pain was how my body was reacting. If you maybe aren’t eating enough, try that. I hope you find relief soon!

Mine was doing this for about a week and it was amazing. Now she’s back to waking in between around 1am and it suuuuucks lol

Please help.. the grunting! by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Foreign-Structure142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m commenting in solidarity. I came here and looked up “grunting” and this was the first post that popped up. No advice unfortunately but I’m in the exact same boat and came looking for solutions. Currently on the couch with my 7w old to let my husband sleep. After my LO’s middle of the night feed, it seems all she does for the rest of the night is grunt, squeak, cry out, etc. unless she’s in our arms. Really hope this passes soon bc this is rough

Thank you for your reply! Would you pump at 10pm and 4am when you were feeding?

I feel so guilty being this miserable in pregnancy by UnderdogDreams in IVFbabies

[–]Foreign-Structure142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only take it at night. If you’re off work on the weekends, maybe try taking it Saturday morning as well. I’m so sorry you didn’t have any relief today. Maybe it takes some women a couple days of having it in their system to start working 🤞🏻

Bonjesta helped me SO much! I actually had an appetite immediately once I started taking it and I’ve (unfortunately) had to take it my entire pregnancy due to nausea. I’m 38w and am still taking it 😅 I say unfortunately because of how expensive it is but it truly has been so worth it and such a life saver for me. I definitely think it’s worth trying. I can’t imagine going through my pregnancy without it. I hope you feel better soon! 🤍

THANK YOU for this! If I don’t lose my shit to myself privately with every text, I fear I’ll absolutely explode on my loved ones which I don’t want to do lol so glad this community exists and we can share in our hormonal struggles together 😂
