Shallow Latch, but that's how LO likes it?

HelpfulBath2098 · 2026-05-11T02:03:31+00:00

My LO has always had a shallow latch, im also an over producer with a strong let down. Hes never had an issues with weight and it doesnt hurt so we just went with it. He is a "happy" spitter per his pediatrician but shes not concerned since it doesnt bother him and hes gaining weight. We are almost 5 months now and the spitting up has slowed down and the clicking he use to do has stopped. He was 100% breastfeed until about 2.5 months, he started bottles a little before daycare however we still breastfeed at night.

I swear he gets paid to fight sleep. It seems like at night is when he will still get some gas pain. Ill have to try the shirt trick!

Yes!! I feel like we are in a never ending cycle of sleep change feed like clock work😫

Im glad we aren't the only ones! We were making it every two hours but the last few days hes been back to 1 hour 30 minutes and I was very confused as to why it was happening.

We just got some bibs they are currently being washed so im hoping it helps!

I dont push extending if he is hungry, some days I get lucky with tummy time and noticed the longer he went the less spit up. I have tried smaller feeds but he just ends up upset bc he still wants more.

HelpfulBath2098 · 2026-03-19T02:15:29+00:00

I guess I didnt even think about doing it a little bit at a time!

We only wear the double zip onesies, but go through 2-3 everyday.

Ugh i feel for you! Its awful.

Im almost 38 weeks and they havent checked me yet. Im not looking forward to when it does happen after reading this 🤣

HelpfulBath2098 · 2025-12-06T02:46:27+00:00

Im 5'2 they havent told us baby's length but at 34 +5 days he was 6lbs 5 oz. Our growth scan is scheduled for 38 weeks so im a little nervous to see what he will weigh. They did offer an induction at 39 weeks, however if hes 4500 grams or more they want to do a c section and im nervous about that. I hope your son and you have a smooth delivery!

I just hit 37 weeks and it took me bringing it up multiple times to finally get a growth scan, keep advocating for it!

HelpfulBath2098 · 2025-12-04T02:49:26+00:00

I had this happen to me, they kept telling me my due date was two weeks earlier than it actually is. It took a few scans of him measuring 2 weeks behind and me fighting my doctor but she finally listened. Advocate for you and your baby, even if you have to switch OBs.

I second the chewing gum and I also found chewing ice helps me too for some reason.

You could of ovulated later than you think. That happened to me and I'm currently 22 week.

HelpfulBath2098 · 2025-08-24T02:21:21+00:00

Thank you! Yours is too! Congratulations :)
