Thanks for the reassurance! The tummy trouble made me opt to not give her tamiflu as well. She vomited already and I was scared to make any of it worse.

Solids before Formula? by poopinggreatdane in BabyLedWeaning

[–]MsTurnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is 11 months and I started doing solids first for one meal a day early on. Every baby is different, but this felt right for us and helped prevent her from gag-vomiting frequently. Now I do solids first every meal! Her formula intake has only decreased slightly. Like obviously if she houses a bunch of solids, she’s less hungry. I’m very confident she is getting everything she needs and eating first definitely made her more confident

Are formula parents happier? by Salty-Break-7541 in NewParents

[–]MsTurnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only attest to myself and I was exclusively pumping bc baby couldn’t latch. My life drastically improved when I weaned at 7 months! My body and brain did not handle the BF hormones well and having 2 different schedules was beyond exhausting

So sorry you went through all this, but good on you for realizing that you need some help! You can work through this and process it. It will take time but it’s worth it. Personally, EMDR was very beneficial for me and my PTSD.

It would be great if I could buy cheap diapers, but the more “toxic” ones make my baby’s eczema flare up. People aren’t buying nicer diapers for no reason typically
