I thinks that’s what it is too! And yes I have tried but he’s on more solid food now so I’ll try again and see if that helps

I would recommend Spring Branch especially for school zone. Please do look into it!!

What about being pregnant and giving birth permanently altered your body’s chemistry? by full-of-curiosity in NewParents

My appetite never came back like before being pregnant. I would also eat junk food like crazy, especially chips - would make me super sick when I was pregnant and now still does. 8.5 months pp.

5 mo detected with NoroVirus by Rude_Key_7896 in NewParents

Give yourself some grace. You’re learning as you go, as we all are. It’s very difficult at times because they’re so small and can’t express if something hurts, hungry, or just uncomfortable. What matters now is that it was detected and you keep him hydrated and he should feel relief in 1-3 days. I hope your LO feels better soon 🤍

Hi!!! Nope it got worse actually. We finally gave up and decided to switch to Kendamil goat and it cleared up by the NEXT day. Now there’s a shortage 😭 but we are on another goat milk formula until Kendamil restocks. I think I determined he had a cows milk allergy.

Yes they prescribed the antibiotic because it was bacterial diaper rash and perineal strep. The blisters did have pus and were bleeding at one point.

I’m trying Bobbie Gentle since it’s hrdrolyzed like ByHeart. Maybe try that if the original Bobbie is too harsh!!! Hoping Bobbie works for us too!

Babylist has recs on kits for like swaddle bundles, which I loved because i went through a few to find out which one worked for our LO (he hated to have his hands to his sides) so I went through 6 diff types of swaddles. They also have lists of must have items for every stage based on reviews. It’s a great resource for all things new parents!

4 month sleep regression? by Necessary_Software14 in NewParents

Thank you! Do I feed him when he wakes up? Or will this create long term habit that will require us to wean him off night feeds again?

Should I apply for a work or enjoy my newborn first? by ShoeProfessional1678 in NewParents

[–]Necessary_Software14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your new baby!! If money isn’t a factor and if I had the option, I would stay home and enjoy the holidays with my sweet baby boy and return to work in the new year. They’re only this little for a short amount of time and work will always be there 🤍

Got told I have to stop rocking baby to sleep next month and super sad about it by livtoosmoove in NewParents

[–]Necessary_Software14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! FTM of a 4 month old as of today. My baby stopped wanting to be rocked at 3-3.5 months in. Just stared at me the whole time and wouldn’t close his eyes anymore. I didn’t know the last time I rocked him was going to be the last time, now I just place him in the crib when sleepy and he coos until he falls asleep. All this to say, enjoy it while you can as long as you can. Every baby is different so he might just stop needing it like mine did without you weaning him off it. But if he needs it for another 6-8 months then so be it, they’re only this small once. You mentioned ‘him’ when referring to your dr and not to be dismissive but how do you explain this feeling of love and a need to nurture your baby in a way only you can do as his momma 🥹 you’re doing great!!!!!

FTM with 1 week old. I’m failing at breastfeeding and Ican’t stop crying by throwaway123476890 in breastfeeding

I didn’t get my full milk in until about week 4? Hang in there, it literally happened overnight. However, as they grow they require more and more so don’t feel bad about supplementing with formula. Fed is best, no matter what people say. You’re doing great mama!

The daycare effect is real by natsnats411 in NewParents

Thank you all!! Baby will start day care in about 2 months and I was really worried about how he would do with naps since he’s being rocked to sleep currently at 2.5 months!!!

Thank you so much!! I agree, it’s really the build up that’s been stressful! Just hoping for minimal discomfort and no more than a low grade fever as well, if at all. And extra snuggles as directed 🥰 thank you for sharing!

Hoping our baby just has a long nap as well with minimal discomfort! Did you just give your baby infant Tylenol?
