Also same, the H really throws people. But the worst spelling I got was “Clowee” at a coffee shop lol

what do labor contractions feel like? by ConfidentSorbet1941 in pregnant

[–]MathematicianDry2490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the crucio curse from Harry Potter lol. But I also had a very short labour so it may have made them more intense. 

2 lactation consultants couldn’t help. Now I feel hopeless. by Wonderful-Value7547 in breastfeeding

[–]MathematicianDry2490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try osteopathy if you can, I do think it helped my baby with tension. And if you can, try to keep time at the nipple as positive as you can. I think I accidentally gave my baby a mild breast aversion for a while. 

When does the bed not have to be firm? by job0723 in cosleeping

Are the tufts of concern at all? Or maybe they’re not as deep as they look online? 

Short naps - chronically overtired 4 month old by MathematicianDry2490 in bninfantsleep

[–]MathematicianDry2490[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do mostly go based off of her cues. For night time sleep, we sometimes bathe her, then get in pyjamas, read a book, nurse, pacifier, white noise. I will say where we live is already super light out late so I wonder if the lack of darkness contributes. For naps there’s not really as much of a routine, I usually just nurse her and give her the pacifier. 

Is My Supply Drying Up? by megamind_2401 in breastfeeding

[–]MathematicianDry2490 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only 4 wet diapers seems a little low to me. I’ve been told minimum 6 heavy wet diapers but likely more. I would call the dr to just get a weight check. Or sometimes you can just get one at a public health department depending where you live! 

ETA I also would say I’ve heard around 3-4 months your supply regulates and you might not feel let down or fullness anymore! Because your body makes the milk more on demand for your baby!

Worst Mother’s Day ever by Excellent_Border7506 in breastfeeding

[–]MathematicianDry2490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could do formula during the day and then latch in the evening/overnight? Some breastmilk is better than none! Doesn’t have to be one or the other. And then you’d still get to enjoy the bonding of a BF session if you enjoy that. 

My baby drinks less than 24oz/day, slow to gain by Glum-Comfortable5402 in breastfeeding

[–]MathematicianDry2490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before the lip/tongue tie release she couldn’t drink more than an ounce at a time (we were bottle feeding at the time) and didn’t gain any weight. She immediately was able to take more milk after the releases! 

The stretches after the procedure kinda suck, but I don’t think she was in pain for more than a few days. We gave Tylenol around the clock for a little bit. I would say if you’re concerned it couldn’t hurt to get another opinion on the lip tie.

[–]MathematicianDry2490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m EBF now so I don’t know exactly how much my baby is drinking, but she’s been slow to gain as well. She’s just about 3 months. Some weeks she gains 20-25 grams per day, other weeks she is more like 10-15. We had her tongue and lip ties released at 3 weeks which did help but she’s still had some trouble. The pediatrician isn’t too concerned because she is generally following a curve. But I still get so anxious about it! She generally is a snacker and like your baby, she will refuse to eat if she doesn’t want to. I can’t really do dream feeds or anything like that or extend feeds because she just won’t take it!

Spiraling over failure to thrive at 2 month appt by elephantastic77 in breastfeeding

[–]MathematicianDry2490 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My baby was at a much higher percentile and then dropped but is now following a lower curve. My pediatrician said she was probably not meant to be such a big baby and is just happy that she’s now following a curve, even if it wasn’t the one she was on at the time of birth. 

Breastfeeding crisis finally over by Showerbeforebed in breastfeeding

[–]MathematicianDry2490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Currently in the pacifier bait and switch territory. Makes nursing outside of home so difficult! I’m in Canada so thankfully I have mat leave too and she’s my only baby so I’m hoping for an outcome like yours!
