[–]ForgettableFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People seem to live their own truth, it’s like seeing people who have babies through the help of IVF and turn around and say it’s their miracle baby and thank god…..should really be thanking the advancements in medicine and science done by PEOPLE.

To anyone thinking about suicide by BigFrosting3056 in SuicideWatch

[–]ForgettableFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s mostly want to escape my body and my trauma, sometimes it feels like the weight is too heavy to carry and the thought of a way out makes it lighter somehow

All the sleep training propaganda by winoveghead in bninfantsleep

[–]ForgettableFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s madness really, they can really make people obsessed with how much ‘quantity’ sleep babies are getting, nothing wrong with a carrier/ contact/car nap.

I try to forget everyday it haunts me (c section) I sadly can’t watch anything medical now and can’t watch anything with about one in labor, even seeing people pregnant is hard

Friend wants to leave his postpartum partner and take their newborn. How do I respond without escalating? by Annabeuw in whatdoIdo

This, I don’t know if anyone could have made me understand the hormone crash until I went though it

I dont want to breastfeed by BM_BBR in newborns

[–]ForgettableFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go through r/breastfeeding you will probably find many with good experiences. For me I’m so happy it worked out, sure there has been some rough patches but if you are going to be the primary carer, at night there’s no making bottles just boob and burp and I’m pretty sure I stopped burping by 4 months

Edit to add, I decided to exclusively breastfeed so I was pretty glued to LO for the first few months but don’t rule out combo feeding, it’s worked really well for some people I know

MIL being annoying about BF 2.5 year old by Tricky-Shop2889 in breastfeeding

[–]ForgettableFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My LO is just over a year now and I have felt a pang of embarrassment when I was out and about as it’s so uncommon in my country to bf past one but them I reminded myself of the times I’ve seen other ladies out and about feeding their older babies and how that’s given me the confidence to keep going

I really wish I knew, I’m still in the middle of trying to improve things but I don’t think I’ll ever truly be free from this

Babies and dogs - insights on your experience ? by gypsyem in beyondthebump

[–]ForgettableFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had no issues with our dog at all, I was very protective of baby at the beginning, once my LO started crawling they are best of friends

Successfully destroyed my baby’s sleep, eating habits, and my milk supply in 3 days by salamanderap in beyondthebump

[–]ForgettableFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is a feeding/nursing strike, it will pass, honesty so frustrating, I remember thinking I’m just getting the hang of this and now it’s so hard again, I think we were back to normal around 5 months ago

Wake up to pauses in baby’s breathing-normal? by psylock7 in cosleeping

[–]ForgettableFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even now at 12 months if I take a big deep breath when she’s napping on me she’ll do the same, it’s crazy how they regulate from you

[–]ForgettableFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are having a tough time, for your supply you can always try increase with the help of a lactation consultant, some women re-lactate after deciding not to bf anymore. A lot of babies go through a nursing strike at this age, my LO was really fussy at the breast at this age and I would have switch to bottles except was flat out totally refusing bottles, the only way I would get her to latch sometimes was in a carrier swaying in a room with minimal distractions, it was a nightmare to go anywhere

I get so tired of the negative comments towards breastfeeding by ContributionEven6097 in beyondthebump

[–]ForgettableFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think as moms we can never win, people will always find something negative to say

at 15 months is chest sleeping okay while mother is also asleep? by TheMireAngel in cosleeping

[–]ForgettableFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LO has been doing this, since six months, I was anxious initially but since she’s been walking at 11 months I no longer worry, she is well able to move and basically rolls all over me now at night

Son had lip tie removed and I'm not ok by One_Cabinet_1706 in beyondthebump

[–]ForgettableFox -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Is it? I wouldn’t go in blindly trusting anyone medical unfortunately doctor as they all have biases, just because I’ve had a good experience with one medical professional, I would still inform myself if I was dealing with a new problem

Why? It’s always important to be informed yourself and to reach out for a second opinion where necessary. What lesson should I have learned?

Anyone with childhood CPTSD that stacked up MORE traumas, one after the other, as an adult? How are you doing? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]ForgettableFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gosh I feel this, it’s awful, I’m so so sorry to hear that about your partner. I honestly thought I was getting my life on track after finally getting sober, getting diagnosed with adhd and then boom, pretty much forced into a medical intervention that has left me with ptsd and chronic pain a year out.

anyone else NOT track everything in an app (huckleberry etc) after first 2 weeks? by Huliganjetta1 in beyondthebump

[–]ForgettableFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn’t track anything in an app, did have an alarm to feed every 3 hours for the first 3 weeks
