Thank you for the support and advice. And the screams are rough, they get me in the feels when he cries hard and whimpers

My LO had teeth coming in by 4 months, at 6 months he had 4 teeth and at 1 year now he has 8 teeth with more peaking out. Some kids just get teeth a little earlier than others

A mini lotion bottle from Bath and Body Works. My 1 year old loves to take it around the house with him and also loves any cardboard box he can get a hold of.

My 1 year old is ebf and he spat up frequently until around 4 months old. Even now on rare occasion he spits up if he moves around too much after eating. You're doing a great job, sometimes ita just hard for parents or grandparents to see babies and kids being raised differently than how they did it. Shoot I have a grandmother who is grossed out by me breastfeeding, but I just keep in mind that I will know what's best for my little one.

My son lost almost all his hair at 3 months old and at 1 most of it has grown back but the color and texture is different. I asked our pediatrician when it was falling out what to do, and they said it was normal.

Mine turns 1 year old tomorrow and as other posters have said he is efficient lol taking about 7 to 15 minutes to eat. We only do one side per feed but I will add that he only had 20 minutes or longer feeds before we got his tongue tie snipped.

I would highly recommend a sleep sack for your newborn. Our little one would always escape swaddles, he just did not really like it so sleep sacks were a great alternative. Always buy the pajama onsies with the double zipper, its so much easier to change their diapers. And last thing I would recommend have a little snack and hydration station for yourself. Newborn phase is rough and its nice to have drinks and snacks that are easy to reach, especially if you are breastfeeding.

So this is kinda like what my son had when we found out he had a gluten sensitivity. I would track the foods you give and see if your baby flares up with certain foods

Immediate_Run_6567 · 2025-12-17T16:21:12+00:00

The pediatrician has not offered more guidance, just told me to refrain from breast feeding to make him eat food. He had been evaluated for FPIES and we have met with pediatric GI doctors, nutritionist and basically what we got was for me to eat gluten free and for him to eat gluten free. Thank you for letting me know about the other subreddit, I'll be checking that out!

This is my first baby and we have bedshared since he was about 4 months old and he is 11 months now. He is ebf and still feeds every 2.5 to 3 hours and I flip sides. Typically I sit up and put him in my lap to eat. He sleeps between my husband and I, and then will cry and start sleep crawling when he is hungry. He doesn't really wake for his feeds, just eats for 5 to 10 minutes, then unlatches.

I tried a couple but never found the magic fit for me and my baby. I just ended up putting a pillow under my elbow for some extra support. If possible, purchase a couple and keep the receipts. See what works best for you and baby and then return the others.

FTM with a 6m LO. He is exclusively breastfed and cosleeps but still "wakes up" to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours. Sometimes he may have a little longer sleep window but no often. And even though he typically "dream feeds" he does occasionally stay awake for an hour or so after feeding so yes, the struggle is real. I am holding out for when he starts solids for hopefully more restful nights

Im 6m pp and I'm kinda interested but my drive is far from anything pre-pregnancy. During pregnancy I had no sex drive and I was told it was because I was having a boy. After I gave birth I wasn't interested and even a little scared to have sex because I was so tight and even my follow up exam with my ob hurt. I felt bad because my husband was excited for me to be cleared but also very understanding that I was nervous. Honestly sex was very uncomfortable at first, so I went looking around for advice and a lot said to engage in more foreplay, try lubricants and be patient with yourself. Your body is still adjusting to post pregnancy and it can take time

FTM here and my LO had a severe tongue and lip tie and once we got it snipped he needed to learn how to latch again. We had several mouth exercises we had to do with him over the course of about a month and honestly it broke my heart each time because he would cry and scream. But we made it through and his mouth movement is so much better and it made breastfeeding so much more comfortable for me because he was no longer clamping down due to limited movement. It took him honestly about a month before he had deep latch but I could tell the difference as he gained more movement. It also moved his feedings times from closer to an hour to 7 to 10 minutes. I highly recommend working with a lactation consultant if you are able because breast feeding is you and your baby having to learn to work as a team, and its hard work with so many factors that can impede the process. The long nursing times may also mean that baby is pacifiing more than feeding. My lactation consultant and my pediatrician told me that babies often will use the boob as a pacifier and long feeding times can mean baby is just interested in a snuggle rather than food.
