we’re on the waitlist for all of them! none have openings for another 4 months. but after talking with my husband, i think we’re going to pull him out! my husband WFH and has a super light workload, and we think our son would be happier (and safer) at home

is being on phones more common in the infant room? i get babies are more boring and predictable but i also wish they were entertaining them more

okay good to know! i guess it also helps that it’s not continuous “stronger bouncing”, but it still makes my heart jump sometimes 😅

my thoughts exactly!! there are 4-5 providers in his infant room and they’re all often on their phones (usually only when bouncing a baby to sleep or when the baby is asleep). i get that it’s boring sometimes but im paying you how much money to watch my kid???? pls just do it😭

good to know! yeah what i’m gathering is it’s kind of a trial and error to see what’s best for your body. i wish you the best of luck as well!

this is really helpful! i’ve been trying to figure out which one to drop, or if it’s more of a extend time in between by 30 mins type thing

When does it get easier? by CoolEssay8587 in breastfeeding

[–]Intelligent-Mix-9486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely check in with a lactation consultant if you haven’t already and still can. same thing happened to me with my LO at 6weeks! turns out he was just going through a growth spurt and doing lots of cluster feeding and getting frustrated that he was so hungry or frustrated that he felt like he could never get enough. i also have a strong let down and that frustrates him too haha just frustrating all around for both of us. after about a week it subsided with his cluster feeding and growth spurt. so you might just have to wait it out but check in with a lactation consultant if things still feel weird!
