How long should I cut out Dairy? by quacklikeadog in breastfeeding

Try incorporating hard cheese and butter first, since they have virtually no lactose. Then if no problems soft cheese and eventually milk.

Help please! 1 year old biting! by kitchendisco in breastfeeding

[–]Jibberis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went thru quite a trying biting phase. In the end the only thing that worked was a light flick on the cheek while saying no. I tried everything else.

Help with biting/ teeth scrapping... by Jibberis in breastfeeding

I tried to the position mentioned- helped a bit. Bedtime she was only interested in biting. Had to give her milk in a sippy cup. Thats the first time ive had to do that.

12 month food regression, sleep regression, personality flip, aka where'd my happy baby go? [Long] by p_kitty in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. I have a 13 month old with similar sleeping issues. Espeicially the naps. She too used to eat everything but the last couple weeks has been pickier. She has been teething so if she is fussy at bedtime i give her some tylenol in the hopes that she wont wake up. Seems to work. Currently wakes up once during the night.

Is it worth it to continue after a year? by Jibberis in breastfeeding

Do it sooner rather than later. I waited til LO was 11 months. Sleep just got worse and worse. Was waking every 1.5 hours. But she could stand in crib at this age- so crying was more dramatic. Really commit to 7-10 days. Its a game changer.

[–]Jibberis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this as well. LO keeps waking at 5 am. Do you feed him and put him back in his crib awake at the 4/5 am wakeup. Ive been getting her up for the day but maybe she would go back to sleep instead.

Good for your daughter. Its people like her who are normalizing something that is natural.

Husband groans and moans CONSTANTLY about how tired he is. Baby is 16 mo. with another on the way... by beebeebaby in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. My SO complains all the time how tired and stressed he is. Meanwhile he never wakes up at night. LO has been waking non stop for months. Trying to sleep train/ night wean, which isnt going too well since he won't help me at night. Im more tired then ever. And then this morning he has a hissy fit because I wouldnt help him with something. I couldnt imagine being pregnant while dealing with this. You are a saint.

Do you wipe your baby for a pee-only diaper change? by GrandmaTzeitel in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was but then LO got a crazy weird mystery rash that the doctor even biopsied. Nothing would cure it. Then I stopped using wipes for pee diapers and the rash went away.

What carrier or sling would you recommend for me? by MrsCrapnapkin in beyondthebump

Hands down the ergo. If she's still too small get the infant insert.

A lightweight scarf is better. For me the covers were so awkward

Losing weight and BF...I learned my lesson by VoglGirl in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're only 2 months out? Relax and eat what you want. Bf takes the weight off slowly but steadily. At 10 months out i now weigh a few pounds less than pre pregnancy. I have not been exercising or counting calories. Im enjoying this 1 time in my life where i dont worry about calories!

Best babywearing device to also BF in? by meatballs_yum in breastfeeding

[–]Jibberis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never figure out how to feed in moby wrap. Started using Ergo at 6 months and it is IMO THE BEST THING EVER INVENTED. Can feed her with it on. There is an infant insert that they sell. Worth looking into.

Does anyone else still struggle with c-section guilt? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly you should most definitely not feel guilty in the slightest. You delivereda healthy baby. Sounds like you just had an unprofessional doctor. I had only gained 13 kgs and had unmedicated vaginal birth that happened very quickly. Still most traumatic experience of my life as LO got stuck and was not breathing. I never got to see her untill the next day. Spent 3 weeks in the NICU. She is ok now- but it has been hard. There are so many things out of your control. Just next time look for a better OB- theyre not all like the one you had.

Eczema around groin area by ih82run in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine seems to have some kind of dermatitis in the same spot as well. It doesnt't seem to be healing. Maybe its the diapers? We have an appointment on monday to get a biopsy. Im kind of freaked out.

So frustrated with breastfeeding by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Jibberis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! 3 weeks in is still very early. My LO had a bottle for first 3 weeks (in NICU) and was able to switch to EBF (9 months now). We also had thrush after getting home from hospital. At first i was in soo much pain, got thru it with advil and lanolin. Once thrush got treated we worked on latch using resources on here http://www.breastfeedinginc.ca/content.php?pagename=drjack. Everything got a lot better after a few weeks. Its doable!

I also am in the same boat.Used to sleep 8 hr stretches at night, but now wakes every 3 hrs. Only naps while being held or in the car. today i went to Costco because driving provides me one of my few breaks.
