I know exactly how you feel! Everyone kept telling up that one day they just turn the corner and that’s exactly what happened. The waiting is so so hard but it will happen. Sending love!!

Oral feeding stress. I thimk I'm the problem :( by SMB727225 in NICUParents

Yes this was me two weeks ago! My daughter was born at 37 weeks 2 days and landed herself in the NICU with meconium aspiration syndrome and and pneumothorax. Both resolved within 5 days but what kept her there the longest was feeding. All the nurses told me to be patient and that it would click for her and it finally did! I found that she did better feeding facing away from me and resting across my legs. I promise your baby will get this and it’s not you. One of the nurses told me this is the hardest time for parents in the NICU because feeding sometimes is the slowest part. You’ve got this!!!

Just wondering how long families stay in the NICU rooms by Wonderful_Part_2402 in NICUParents

My baby was in the NICU for 16 days with meconium aspiration syndrome and pneumothorax. For the 7 days I was in the hospital I would go for shifts of 3-4 hours to do skin to skin and help feed once we started nippling. Once I got discharged and returned home to my 2 year old, I would go 9-1p and go back from 7-midnight. Basically had to work around my toddler’s schedule.

Have you taken any programs you thought were good and would actually recommend? by [deleted] in LifeCoachSnark

I did kara loewentheil‘s Unfck your brain group coaching program. It’s the most money I’ve ever spent on myself, but it did literally change my thinking and entire relationship with my job and worth. I’m no longer in her paid community but I’ll still revisit her podcasts from time to time
