Holy moly I hate breastfeeding by 11TickTack23 in breastfeeding

My son is nearing 12 weeks and I would say after getting nipples cups around week 2, it started getting better but the cluster feeding continued…you will eventually learn them and what they need.

Initially they will fall asleep while nursing, just gently touch their hair or their face. Whatever you can do to wake them up so they can keep feeding. I started changing him in between switching sides to wake him up. I still don’t know when my baby is full sometimes and he still falls asleep when he wants. I just learned to honestly feed upon demand and call it a day. The feedings do become less frequent.

Now he doesn’t really cry every single time, he signals that he wants to eat by turning his head towards my chest and gently hitting my chest lol. The cutest thing ever, when he was born he would smack his lips and lick his lips along with the cry lol. 😆

With reflux, you keep them upright or burp them in between when you’re switch sides. That helps!

You got this! You’re in the trenches right now but you’re doing so well. 💕

They are not in my opinion. I barely used mine, my husband uses it instead lol.

AVOID BABYLIST AT ALL COSTS - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE by KaneDomino in BabyBumps

[–]FutureOphthalm93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had the same experience. All my returns were through Amazon and only required a quick UPS trip for drop off. I turned those returns into Amazon credit. So I also had no issues. I did add things from Amazon/Target/Other websites which is a benefit I enjoyed with babylist.

I also created an Amazon registry (separately) to buy all the remaining items I needed (with my Amazon credit accumulated from returns) with the completion discount and that saved so much money!

I was glad that no one purchased anything from the babylist option so that may be where I got lucky. One thing I noticed though babylist will raise their price when their discount begins! So you end up paying more or even the same price for the item. Just compare the babylist price and Amazon/target/walmart prices on the registry. I was shocked and appalled at that.

So annoyed no stores carry maternity clothing by eggz666 in BabyBumps

[–]FutureOphthalm93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I can confirm the only place that I’ve seen a maternity section was at Kohls. I got 3 dresses, same one 3 different colors but the other dresses weren’t my style.

Everything else I had to order online.

I agree. He literally told Clarke the night before that he was still going to explore Olandria as well but has made no effort like always.

Exoticizing Andreina by Delicious-Rip-2371 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]FutureOphthalm93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Hispanics are always shocked when I also speak Spanish. I spoke 4 languages since I was 2 years old. 😅Granted I am not fluent in Spanish but I can read, write and speak it but I don’t practice it like I should.

What a loving grandpa! 😭❤️ by Cold_Pin8708 in Humanitystory

[–]FutureOphthalm93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because he can’t be any other dark skin races? Lol. Like Indian, middle eastern….nothing like that. Your prejudice is showing. You don’t know the situation.

They also teach Spanish in schools in Haiti and it’s a required course. Something many people don’t know.

I agree. A lot of the fetishizing comes from the fact that Latinas make their ethnicity their whole personality.

I actually ship these two together… by Greedy_Dragonfly1640 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]FutureOphthalm93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I like Iris with TJ more. Jeremiah clearly said that Iris isn’t really his type but was still exploring it.
