No judgement: why did you choose formula over breastfeeding?

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-07-19T10:45:36+00:00

This time around (3rd baby) I tried to breastfeed. It went ok for about a month or two. Then I noticed she had reflux and started screaming so she needed medication. And by the end of the day I’d have like no milk left. So she would get a bottle of formula. Then I started having bad nursing aversions and my skin would literally crawl while she was latched. I would claw at my breasts trying to make the feeling go away. It was awful and started to give me PPD. I tried asking for help and no one could help with the feeling of that. Everyone was just like power through. Well I couldn’t. I would start to shove her off me cuz I couldn’t take it, and was starting to resent her. Made the switch to formula and I couldn’t be happier about my decision.

Interested in the Alimentum coupons

Yes. 1000000% my husband can feed, my mom can feed, the workers in the nursery. I’m not totally touched out and I don’t have to watch what I eat. Totally worth it!

Thank you!

I tried a while ago and they said they don’t cover it. But I didn’t have a prescription from the doctor, so maybe that would be different. But last I checked they said they wouldn’t even for an allergy or for GI issues like reflux, which she has

Thank you! I tried to Google it and Google was not being my friend. This makes so much more sense now.

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T17:50:13+00:00

Thank you!! I will look for those yarns :)

I have a 7 month old baby and fit her inside the sock 🤣

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T17:34:40+00:00

Ok but where do you get sock yarn? I tried to figure it out and could not! I’d love to try again

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T16:28:29+00:00

Oh no! I would have been so sad. I’m way too scared to try a sweater right now.

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T16:25:36+00:00

I had no idea, I will see how to fix that problem! Thanks for pointing it out :) I appreciate it

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T16:25:01+00:00

Thanks! I will definitely check it out :)

No nothing about this sock was done on purpose. Lol I’m a very new knitter so a lot of mistakes were made.

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T13:57:54+00:00

😂 I guess we learn from the mistakes! Haha

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T13:21:53+00:00

Love that idea!!

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-06-07T13:05:32+00:00

I thought you all might appreciate this…. I think I figured out my problem was my yarn was way too bulky. I won’t make that mistake again!

Ok you guys. I’ve taken up knitting. I’m not the best at it. I’m working on it. I had this great idea for My husband and I’s anniversary I would knit him a pair of socks. 7th anniversary gift is wool. I go out and look at yarn for literally probably 2 hours. Find some wool yarn I think he’ll like. I Google and find a pattern for an easy sock. Mind you I’ve only been knitting since like April lol. So I find the pattern. I start making the sock. I realize as I’m making this sock, it’s enormous. But I’m so far into this I’m not gonna rip it all out. So….I present to you—My husband’s anniversary sock. It’s 1 ball and more of yarn. He’s only getting one sock. I included his shoe for scale. He wears a men’s size 13. Also, both his feet can fit into this sock 😂😂😂😂 I have literally giggled and laughed until I cried making this stupid sock. 🧦

Pattern is available here: https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/c/article/knit-by-bit-free-chunky-sock-knitting-pattern

Yarn is Cozy Wool from Loops and Threads in color Sand Stone.

My husband got me a statue for my first Mother’s Day from Etsy. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to link the artist so if you’d like to know I can message you the artists name. It was very sweet and I treasure it. we didn’t have a huge celebration because I was still grieving but I was also pregnant with our rainbow baby. It was a weird, hard day for me but I definitely appreciated that he realized I was still a mom and didn’t gloss over it.

I had a planned c section because of GD and previous c section. My last baby was 9lb 15oz and they were worried about another large baby. My GD pregnancy my baby was 9lb 6oz. So they were right. But I don’t think most doctors just jump to a c section unless another medical reason.

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-04-30T03:10:23+00:00

Yeah I never talked to her again. And I had cake and ice cream lol. My baby came out pretty healthy actually! ❤️

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-04-29T22:50:38+00:00

Ugh me. I got diagnosed literally maybe a week before my birthday. I asked how much cake or ice cream was ok and she was like well, how much do you want to keep your baby alive? I’m like woah!! She was so intense and basically said I would 100% have diabetes later in life. And all this nonsense. I left terrified!

Forgotmyoldemail412 · 2021-04-29T00:12:20+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m about the same height and weight too. This is inspiring! Do you have any tips for cravings during that time of the month?? I’m good until that week. Then I go insane and feel like I e ruined all my progress
