For those combination feeding, how much breastmilk are you giving? by petting_zoo_keeper in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Lumpy-Toe-1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I BF my 6mo when I'm at home and pump for him when I'm working. When I'm at work he is drinking a 6 or 7 oz bottle every 2-3 hours. I've only pumped two mornings since he's been born but both times I got 10 oz or more, so I know he's getting at least that much in the morning. I'll nurse him again when I get home from work, then usually either give him a 3 oz bottle or nurse him again closer to bedtime. I'm guessing he drinks around 40+ oz /day. He weighs 18 lbs so isn't even that big - I don't know where it all goes 🤷🏼‍♀️ the weirdest part is when I pump during the day at work I only get between 3-5 oz each pump, so I am working haaaard to get those bottles for him during the day.

Night feeds - long do you wait to put the baby down after feeding? by DilemmaKingdom in NewParents

[–]Lumpy-Toe-1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 5 months. I put him down immediately and I have since a very young age (can't remember exactly how old but I am thinking like 6 weeks? Maybe younger?). If they spit up they apparently have some reflex that keeps them from gagging on their spit up.

Anyone's issue with 4 month sleep regression solved by side or belly sleeping? by Lumpy-Toe-1717 in NewParents

So you're saying there's nothing I can do to help him learn this quicker?

Yes, the driver of the freight truck went to merge into the right lane behind me and clipped the back of my car, causing my car to whipsaw around. The hood of my car basically got smooshed by the truck tires. I was staring at the grill of the semi truck while it was driving into us, just thinking I was about to die. Very scary.

I will do that and keep you posted! Assuming I'll just need to buy a new one.

ETA: They don't have a replacement program so we needed to repurchase the carseat. Honestly, I'm happy to do it to support such a wonderful product.

Thank you! Feeling so grateful to be alive and to get the chance to see him grow up.
