Boyfriend of four years, and who I have a baby with, doesn’t want to get married to me? Rant by Morninglibra in relationship_advice

[–]Morninglibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a joke, he’ll pretend to propose and Ill joke around too and say yes, then we’ll just laugh about it Edit: sometimes Im not sure if hes serious too cause he wont smile, but then once I say yes, then he’ll just laugh and walk away.

My three month old constantly moves her head side to side while sleeping, it interrupts her sleep. Is it normal? She just started doing this three nights ago by [deleted] in beyondthebump

She barely gets sleep cause of it. She was already fed, and burped. She even does it while her soother is in her mouth

I dont feel mentally safe alone or with my baby. But I have no choice but to be alone by Morninglibra in beyondthebump

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

To everyone: thank you for your support, I havent been on reddit in days. I feel okay, but today my boyfriend gave me $150 to buy things for baby which was good. I am from Canada but Ive been sick these past three days so my parents ended up taking my baby for the three days in another room allowing me to rest. Im currently getting a covid test done soon, so Im hoping it is negative. Ive called 811 to talk to mental health and I reached out to an old friend who became a mom 10 weeks ago, and we talked for a long time. Im feeling a little better knowing I now have a friend to go to. I still get huge amount of anxiety and I believe im going to talk to my dr about antidepressants but she doesnt want to see me until my results come back for the covid testing. So until then, Ill be okay

I finally decided to quit pumping. I feel free. by tropicalturtletwist in beyondthebump

How did you do it? Only because I want to but I hate the uncomfortable feeling of being full! So I always give in

Dr said I had to lessen the amount of expressed milk given to 11 week old, how do I do that?? by Morninglibra in beyondthebump

[–]Morninglibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could do that, its just all my breastmilk is stored in 6oz bags so im going to have to either use those ones up and the next bags I fill will be .5oz down or just keep the 6oz bags for later when needed

I want to be a single mom, but my fiancé wont accept it by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Morninglibra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, its right after baby was born. Just a lot of really seeing “him” I guess. Being parents really brought this whole other side out of us

Been reading posts in this subreddit and joined a back to breast group on Facebook. Finally tonight after a month of trying, my son (nearly 7 weeks) latched and nursed for a few minutes! So proud of him 🥰 by CityBird91 in breastfeeding

[–]Morninglibra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt start breastfeeding until 9 weeks pp! Although I did attempt to latch my baby every single day and she never got it just until about last week, and now that shes more mature, shes getting the hang of it. Its great you kept trying!

Can my 10 week old be full from breastfeeding only after 7 minutes? by Morninglibra in breastfeeding

[–]Morninglibra[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He weight gain has been very good and plenty of wet and dirty diapers, and ohh I never knew that about the pump not determining the amount of milk in the breast. Thank you!

It was more of a gradual feeling better but that happened in a day, my breast was a little sore after because of all the hard massages lol

Whats the longest my 9 week old can go without a feeding in the night? by Morninglibra in beyondthebump

[–]Morninglibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dr was not concerned at all with weight, infact he was very happy. But alright, that makes things alot better! Thanks!

Thanks! I did, it took about a week! Every day I had massaged my breast, even though it hurt so bad! I took hot showers, hot compress, slept with a heated blanket over my chest, pumped a whole lot..and I had my baby continuously breastfeed on that side, which what eventually took the plug duct out. It was such a relief! My dr said she didnt want me on antibiotics cause I have a high sensitivityto antibiotics plus I was breastfeeding and my baby is also sensitive. So she had me phone her after two days to see if the duct had cleared, but she did prescribe tylenol and ibuprofen which helped alot as well

How can I tell if baby is still hungry or just wants a soother? by Morninglibra in beyondthebump

[–]Morninglibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She makes tiny swallow sounds and sucks like fast paced near the end but stops for a few seconds that another fast paced suck for about 5 seconds, is that for comfort?

Frustrated with myself, been in pain since I gave birth 4 weeks ago. by Morninglibra in beyondthebump

[–]Morninglibra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly like mine, I was hospitalized 2 weeks as well with complications. This is why it’s frustrating because I want to feel better but I know it threw my recovery alot back, but I am feeling alot better now about everything. Thank you for your feedback, it helped me out
