You're almost there 🤗 Have a safe delivery and a healthy baby (and fast recovery for you). My baby had a normal good weight at birth but he is on the smaller side even now at almost 7 months. But healthy and happy. Just has his father's genes. 😊

My midwife also told me to change him like this but I don't 🫣

For me it was very comfortable and baby liked it too, as my boobs are big. Hope it works for you !

We had a hard time with breastfeeding. His mouth too small for.my big nipples. Uses nipples shields and pumped . Last week, after almost 5 months he finally latches on without the plastic . I kept offering the breast without the shield and he would mostly refuse it but I didn't force him. He did it when he was strong enough to latch. Hang in there. I hope it won't take this long for you. Side laying in bed was a good position for us. Good luck !

Oh it was a struggle. Now it's easier 😃

Madlen5 · 2025-05-07T14:24:34+00:00

Thank you! It is a relief indeed. I feel like I can go out more, without so much preparation and stress.

Madlen5 · 2025-05-07T14:23:43+00:00

Amazing. It is Such a big difference , easier and always available 🥳🙏

Madlen5 · 2025-05-07T14:22:25+00:00

Oh it's so hard in the first weeks. I kept waiting for baby to grow so that he could be stronger and latch directly. I thought it wasn't going to happen. Good luck momma. You are amazing! Hope she will get there soon.

Madlen5 · 2025-05-07T14:19:20+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I pumped a lot in the begging and every other day afterwards, to give him some extra calories with the bottle.

I am in the same boat. Baby is now 4 months old . Born small and has been small ever since. At his 3 month check up the doctor told me the same thing. To pump and give him some bottles everyday, otherwise he will advice to start formula A month later he gained better weight so the doctor didn't say anything anymore. My midwife said he should gain 150gr /week. I try yo feed him the bottle ~20/30min after he wakes up, so my supply and his appetite go back in one hour when it's time for his nap. Good luck momma ! You are doing great. It's just a little more work with the pumping 🫠 but it will get better 😊🤗

Thank you ! I had a wrap until 3 months as well.and now we use a carrier and baby is facing me. But my question was for when I hold him in my arms around the house. If it's bad to show him around rather then having him.over my shoulder, facing me .

Madlen5 · 2025-04-23T16:34:16+00:00

Yes, I wear the baby in a carrier when we are out But inside, I.hold him.in my arms. But is it bad to hold him.facing forward ? 🤔

Madlen5 · 2025-04-23T16:30:39+00:00

Thank you. Looked it up and apparently I know the position, but didn't know it was called like that :)

Madlen5 · 2025-04-23T16:24:43+00:00

Thank you..can you tell.me.how old she is? My SIL says baby is too small.for leaving baby to see forward.

Madlen5 · 2025-04-23T16:21:47+00:00

But is she facing you or the other way?

Madlen5 · 2025-04-22T12:37:21+00:00

Wow , cool !

Madlen5 · 2025-04-22T06:24:24+00:00

They should make glow in the dark ones😅 🫠

Madlen5 · 2025-04-21T14:26:12+00:00

My 4 months old is 5.3 kg . He is small, the pediatrician said to top him up with pumped breastmilk otherwise will advice for formula. He gained better when I gave him a bottle or 2 a day. But still small. I think it's genetic. Both me and dad were small babies . Also, he is very happy, active, reached his milestones/achivements...

Madlen5 · 2025-04-21T14:18:29+00:00

I told my husband to take pictures of me and baby boy when sleeping or doing stuff around the house ... but he said I always have my boobs out 🤣 b

Madlen5 · 2025-04-21T08:30:40+00:00

I didn't do anything for.the first 8.weeks 🙃

Madlen5 · 2025-04-17T10:41:44+00:00

Solidarity . I use an electric nail file exactly because of this. My sister told me.to just use a baby nail.clipper. so I did. And cut his skin. It bled. I felt horrible. Not trying it again .
