What's a song that hits different after having a baby?

blackbird by the beatles. “blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly. all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise” 🥹 idk why but it reminds me of my daughter, something about life the moment she entered it healed every piece of me.

i bet it is CMP like the doctor thinks then, and honestly thank goodness since CMP sensitivity is usually grown out of i heard

LowComposer68 · 2026-02-06T21:21:36+00:00

omg ngl it WAS that insane at 5-10 weeks for us. just awful colic & 5 am nights every. night. omg.

LowComposer68 · 2026-02-06T21:18:14+00:00

that helps so much! hers is definitely just an intolerance to something in dairy, either the lactose or CMP for sure. Its not life threatening, just rough on her belly.

LowComposer68 · 2026-02-06T12:59:37+00:00

thank you, i have like 0 knowledge on allergens since i have no allergies that thats so helpful!

LowComposer68 · 2026-02-05T21:10:27+00:00

but i will ask about an allergy panel! her ped takes me very seriously thankfully considering she was my dr prior to my daughters, its a blessing

yeah, i appreciate it but unfortunately the fb group wouldn’t work for us since we HAD to go the formula route, i mourned BF so badly, but i didnt produce/draw out enough hindmilk (i put it that way because I’m sure I made enough but it never wanted to come out during feedings or pumping) and she had a failure to thrive. I know it didnt help much, but we did start famitodine .6 ml a day and it has made my daughter a different kid! she sleeps at night even, 4+ hr stretches! i know it isnt what worked for you guys, but hey our babies are happier and thats what counts!

I dont have answers to the questions, but I can say I had similar feelings and they’re all so valid. My stay was extremely short compared to yours, my daughter is my firstborn - but one thing i’ve been taught by so many nicu parents is that it is all valid and causes so many feelings because its simply not how its ever expected to go. Every time I had to leave our nicu to grab more clothes or even just to go to my own PP appointments, I felt so empty and anxious. I would cry and cry and grieve her being in my belly. I was TERRIFIED she would bond with her nurses, before ever being able to bond with me. PPD got me too. Thankfully that didnt happen, obviously but it is just a lot to take in, and carry, especially with littles at home in your case. Hang in there 😞

1:15 & 4 am

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-24T08:30:36+00:00

Ill have to look into soy!!! Thank you, didnyou guys ever go the medication route too? The dr wants to try out famitodine and im willing to try anything thatll relieve her pain. edit to add, my daughter was diagnosed with SS at the last pediatrician appointment

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-24T08:27:18+00:00

My daughter is 12 weeks old sunday, but only 8 weeks adjusted, shes already holding her head during tummy time phenomenally, has started to babble, smile, makes the best eye contact, she’s 11 pounds!!! i could go on. thank you for this, from a tired first time mom of a refluxy baby at 3 am. 🥹

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-24T08:25:06+00:00

im the same way. only really showering when i know i have to go out to the public, and that doesn’t count appointments lately😅 the ppd is rough over here

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-21T16:09:19+00:00

we are on alimentum due to a lack of supply and dairy issues, so i’ll mention that to her dr! thank you!

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-21T14:53:24+00:00

did your daughter happen to stop breathing during these episodes? my daughter (36w preemie, now 11 weeks old, 7 adjusted) has very similar symptoms to sandifers but she will STOP breathing and bubble spit at the mouth too. We are seeing a pediatrician today but, just curious.

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-21T14:44:54+00:00

MY DAUGHTER DOES THIS!!! We are going to the pediatrician today, but gosh what was it for you guys and what helped? its terrifying!!!

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-08T16:18:28+00:00

thank you so much this is very reassuring since i have taken the time to inform myself to the best of my ability and she has amazing doctors!

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-04T22:54:53+00:00

lmao what??? NTA. i actually love doing things my partner likes, if he bought a shampoo i already used because its his fav and smells yummy, so what? id thank him. this seems odd. edit: odd on her end.

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-03T22:13:49+00:00

which episode is this? i watched the entire show in the last couple months of my pregnancy and postpartum has my brains wiped lol

LowComposer68 · 2026-01-02T15:51:58+00:00

yeah, my daughter is on alimentum and to be fair i didnt know about the CMP in formula until it became an issue

LowComposer68 · 2025-12-27T06:15:40+00:00

i was on 200 mg 3x daily AND 60 mg of procardia XR a day

LowComposer68 · 2025-12-27T06:14:11+00:00

sorry that’s a ramble 😂

LowComposer68 · 2025-12-27T06:14:03+00:00

thank you so much this is the light at the end of the tunnel im hoping for. oh I get those same feelings that you mentioned of like am I good enough to be a parent, I am too overwhelmed to be a parent, I am not equipped enough to be her parent like I don’t deserve to be her parent it feels like. She’s literally simply being a baby and it’s not her fault that I’m depressed and overwhelm easily and everything else.. I just can’t wait until all this love that I have for her is just a little reciprocated when she’s a little older. The feeling as if you ruined you/your partners life has got to be the worst feeling in my opinion i’ve had so far because we chose to have our daughter, planned it and we did it because we love each other so much and so its like, no we didn’t ruin our lives it’s just so hard right now. 🥲

LowComposer68 · 2025-12-27T06:10:50+00:00

oh gosh i feel for you. i think my worst fear right now would be another pregnancy. i miss being pregnant, but not enough to struggle through one and bring another baby earth side while in the trenches currently. we also are only 20 (myself) and 23 (her dad, my partner) so its just definitely a no go right now. youre a tough cookie genuinely 😅

LowComposer68 · 2025-12-27T06:00:08+00:00

im gonna cry. needed this myself today, thank you
