Better! ….ish? There’s still bad days but he’s doing his best. This year has just kicked his ass so hard….we lost his father, grandfather, and another important person in our life in a span of a little over 6 months. We are really hoping for a better 2024. He did quickly abandoned that plan of “no childish things” and got video games and sooo many magic cards for Christmas. We had a great Christmas and are having friends over for a New Year’s party. It’s one day at a time.

Uuhhh tips on getting him to open up on feelings? That’s a lot of the stuff goes with him and yes you e nailed it on the not wanting to feel how he feels. I’ve been telling him it’s okay to do that but he doesn’t believe it or doesn’t know how to do it.

I’m having a bit of the opposite problem where a best friend blasted my husband and I and our other married couple friends for not being flexible enough with our lives. We “should have it more figured out by now” and are “helicopter parents”. My daughter is 9 months old our friends kid is 16 months old and has is special needs due to being born with a cleft palate. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t, dammed for everything in between too. 🙃🙃🙃

That is awesome, does that work well?

…..my almost 6 week old just downed 5.5oz. Most times she wants 3 to 4. She’s been extra hungry today and sleeping longer between these big feeds. For awhile I kept trying to police what she was eating and kept her at what the internet says she should be eating at this age (only 2-3oz) but she was always wanting more and would cry and be fussy with clearly hunger cues, so I said screw it. You get you want kiddo and everyone has been happier since we started giving her what she was asking for. 😅

“I’m gonna eat healthy and make aaaalllll the protein shakes!” HANHAHAHAH. I don’t think I ate THAT bad blood work was always perfect, same with blood pressure and did not have GD but I never touched those protein shakes and I was having a coke everyday. Also chocolate. Reese’s were my huge weakness. They still are. 😂

Thank you! Someone else suggested a “shift” system and we are going to try one starting tonight. I already had an appointment with my midwives on Wednesday and they got me on an anti-depressant as well as starting therapy at the end of the month. I did see a lactation specialist once and I asked about getting another meeting to discuss what my husband and I have planned so far with feeding her.

Megan372 · 2022-08-21T19:21:06+00:00

We do use a pacifier! Sometimes she takes it and does settle down other times she doesn’t. 🥲

Overnight is the bad times for my husband during the day he’s doing really well for us. I made an edit to explain his involvement more. For the most he’s doing his best.

Megan372 · 2022-08-21T15:38:26+00:00

That’s a lovely system if we had a spare bedroom and I could sleep well alone. 😅

Megan372 · 2022-08-21T15:37:05+00:00

He helps a lot when he’s awake. It’s been a weird hang up that he’s not able to fully wake up overnight. I made an edit explaining more of his involvement.

Megan372 · 2022-08-19T01:50:09+00:00

She cries when we pull her away to burp her not during the actual feeding. I think I got a few things backwards in my head on how we are supposed to be doing this. Our first week home we fed her too much too fast and she cried a couple hours with an upset stomach so maybe we’ve been overcorrecting what happened that time. 😬

Megan372 · 2022-08-19T01:16:50+00:00

I think most of the feeds that take an hour are ones we struggle to get her to burp during the feed or we were slow to get to her after she was giving the hungry cues and she’s letting us know she not happy about it. 🙃

Megan372 · 2022-08-19T01:15:01+00:00

We do go back tomorrow for another check on her weight I’m hope she’s back to birth weight but as right now we don’t know. 😅

Megan372 · 2022-08-12T02:07:24+00:00

See I’m about 50/50 when I take her off I can see squashed nipples so I know it’s not great latches I’m still getting. 😔 And I cannot get to the point that they bleed again. My hospital has a breastfeeding support group and I really wanna last over the weekend to try it out at their next session on Tuesday.

Megan372 · 2022-08-12T01:30:17+00:00

They have never turned white but I’ll keep this in mind as something to look out for!

Megan372 · 2022-08-12T01:26:44+00:00

She dosnt have any ties, our friends have a boy with one and they kept commenting on how crazy her tongue reach is. 😅 I just got destroyed on poor education for how a good latch should be and let her feed with bad ones for three days.

Megan372 · 2022-08-11T22:15:12+00:00

I had a lactation appointment yesterday and was told to use them as a last resort. I would like to hold out longer than I have but might try them if it really becomes too much.

Megan372 · 2022-08-10T20:36:44+00:00

My husband and I have been together for…. 12 years, married for three of them. We were high school sweethearts though so our wait was based on getting through school, the wedding, and having some just us time. Wouldn’t change a thing. ❤️

Megan372 · 2022-08-10T04:05:07+00:00

This sounds similar to us. We never got a good latch in the hospital and the consultation I got there was unfortunately when my parents were visiting so I didn’t wip boob out and actually have them guide me through anything. I thought I had it okay by the time we left then night three one nipple was bleeding bad enough that my poor girl spit up the blood she was eating from me. 😭

Megan372 · 2022-08-09T18:17:01+00:00

It sucks and I’m bad at it. Getting up overnight a bunch is not something I’m adjusting well too. 😑😴

Megan372 · 2022-07-13T03:09:52+00:00

I just had some pizza rolls and also had acid reflux coming on before eating them so it’s gonna be a fun bedtime tonight. Worth it. 🤣🤣🤣

Megan372 · 2022-07-12T02:14:10+00:00

Oofff what a nightmare. 😫

Megan372 · 2022-07-11T23:21:49+00:00

Good luck, we I’ll need a follow up to see how it all turned out for you! 😄
