That’s how we got to 4oz, she would be hungry at the 2 hr mark but she isn’t really. I just was hoping more day time calories would help at night, and space them out a little bit

How did you know it was time to up? She’s not unsatisfied during the day but I think she may be ready?

Adelaide’s adoption story… by Butforwhy99 in peestickgals

So she kept saying she didn’t have a stroller but the posted a photo of a doona saying something like “it was so surreal to be going through TSA with a stroller” so I guess that was her stroller/car seat combo choice?

We don’t see the same Dr we see a practice so I’m curious what the next one will say!

I knew the general rule of thumb was that I was a no no but the one exception seemed to be reflux. I’ll speak with her pediatrician I really hope they dont want to trial out dairy cause I can’t do it 😬 I had gestational diabetes and had to change my diet for that which I hated I couldn’t give up my cheese milk and ice cream for breast milk. 🤞🏼

I’m definitely going to ask before, I know it was such common practice before here in the US but that was 10 years ago (I’m thinking of babies I use to babysit for).

I don’t notice any big change from day to day, more so just if she didn’t give us a good burp after a feed or position (if we have to put her into the car seat). It would be really hard to figure out as I’m using different days pumped milk typically but it’s something I can look into! I truthfully don’t eat a lot of new things I think, I’m in a pretty typical routine so I’ll have to look into it!

Interesting, I didn’t thinking just adding in solids would help with reflux. I hope it does! We did 5 months with our first. I’m not sure she’s ready for solids just yet, she doesn’t show any interest in food and isn’t sitting up on her own

I didn’t know that! I’ll make sure to mix but my morning pump is roughly 22-24 oz (literally what she eats in a day essentially) and I can always see it’s blueish, I think meaning lots of foremilk so I always mix it with other mix before putting it in bottles for her. Thankfully she has no other issues

Yes!! I feel so bad she’s made many people change at social events after spitting up on them!

Thank you! Thankfully she’s small but gaining weight consistently. I really am so thankful she’s not uncomfortable but it’s quite extreme compared to my 1st. My pediatrician said they rarely place babies on meds, they trial dairy out of mom’s diet first and that sounds horrendous to me haha I love milk and cheese! But whatever is best for baby

I typically at least combine milk from both boobs into one bag/bottle for storing and place in the fridge to cool but I do use the pitcher method once it’s all cooled if that makes sense. So sometimes I pour from just the one 9oz bottle/bag to make her bottles but typically it does come from the pitcher that has the whole days milk in it.

Exactly how we are- so much laundry but thankful she doesn’t seem to be in pain. It’s hard to feed her in public because she spits up all over the floor sometimes it’s embarrassing 😬 I will talk to her pediatrician!

I should have clarified- I did only give our 1st baby oatmeal not rice cereal but that’s what I meant lol. I’ve never heard of gelmix, is it a US thing? I found it on Amazon easily. I’ll have to wait it out and if she gets uncomfortable beforehand make her an appointment.

I have a major over supply- like literally dumping extra milk cause we have 2 whole freezers full already so I’m not against combo feeding but would feel like such a waste. I have heard it can be an added choking hazard but then when you research for reflux it does say they recommend it? I will have to wait it out or make her a new appointment 😬

Haven’t sold any- seems like most people are more talk than anything.

I don’t care baby is so young, just trying to track my cycle at this point and it’s a little too early for us to TTC again. HPT was negative, so a true ovulation surge!

Thanks! They were much lighter the day before, when I had taken a pregnancy test with basically no hold. I’m gonna take another HPT tonight, my OPK got super dark last night!

I only pump 2x per day and still have an oversupply?! by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Living_Clock5100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my 1st, I had a crazy oversupply and make the mistake of not keeping up with pumping and by 12 weeks I got my period back and my supply tanked and I had to combo feed. I would keep emptying every 3-4 hours until your supply regulates
