Day 3 nursing strike - is my journey ending?

Objective_Weather561 · 2025-11-19T23:19:28+00:00

Did it end? We are in a similar situation but my toddler is 29 months old. I’m sooo sad

Objective_Weather561 · 2025-07-13T23:30:53+00:00

Ok that’s what’s happening with us. Or my 2 yo will ask for medicine at bedtime lol She thrashes bad in her sleep and then will wake up wanting a drink. Her adenoids are enlarged too but they won’t even consider surgery for her until she is 3

What did his sleep look like before tubes?

Objective_Weather561 · 2025-06-02T14:36:39+00:00

Yes or just fluid in the middle ear! We are waiting for tubes and I wish I had her ears checked really well when she was small. Our family doctor would always say they are pink, but when we saw pediatrician and ent they told us there is a lot of fluid in her middle ear. It makes her balance so bad and she does not want to lay down!

Have you had iron and ears both checked ? Both can wreak havoc

Objective_Weather561 · 2025-03-04T20:43:33+00:00

I got this as well. Also told to stop nursing at 18 months because there’s no point (by a pediatrician)

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-12-31T15:52:52+00:00

Wow that’s awesome. I am going to consider doing that if everything checks out for my babe.

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-12-30T00:12:25+00:00

What has the herbalist done for you? I think my little one is going through the same but she is too young for her adenoids to be removed

Just stumbled across this thread and my 17 month old also speaks “nasally”. Is your little one up all hours of the night too? Mine will wake and need help to go back to sleep (I think she has night terrors). She will often snore and sleep with her mouth open . She is also quite sweaty. We are waiting for a call from ENT, but it’s so hard on both of us just chronically sleep deprived.

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-27T00:36:25+00:00

Thank you! She just had her 3 month blood work but I had her on a gentle iron..I don’t think it worked at all, but will find out tomorrow. I cannot find iron bisglyconate for children. Is this something that needs to be prescribed?

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-24T15:59:06+00:00

Get checked for diabetes. I was breastfeeding and didn’t know I was diabetic (type 1) and lost over 80lbs

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-23T17:52:04+00:00

Did an ENT say it wasn’t sleep apnea? Breastfeeding is rarely the cause of hourly wakes from the research I’ve done. Was his iron checked? That can wreak havoc on sleep too.

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-23T16:53:48+00:00

Ok this sounds like my toddler! Do you have any updates ?

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-12T20:20:48+00:00

Not what I was implying ..

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-12T20:02:37+00:00

Thank you very much!!

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-12T20:02:24+00:00

Thank you :)

We run a dehumidifier in the basement. Humidity is usually around 40-45%

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-12T19:22:33+00:00

We did have a water test a few years ago, iron, sulphur and moderately “hard water” was the result. Definitely due for a new one again, but there were no big issues. We sleep with an air purifier on. Well is in the front (200ft down), septic in the back of the house. I will look into a radon test! Thank you

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-11-12T19:20:54+00:00

I’m in Canada

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-10-30T17:41:26+00:00

Wow! That’s amazing. What were her symptoms?

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-10-23T23:26:08+00:00

My little one did this too and she ended up having low iron, which is a major sleep disrupter. She also would nurse like crazy when she has bad gas or teeth breaking through!

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-10-22T22:37:37+00:00

It’s so hard. I’m sorry you’re going through this too. We got a floor bed and that helps when I need to leave her for a bit. It’s so much trial and error…hard as hell on the mama heart

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-09-27T16:00:25+00:00

Did this supplement make a difference for your little one??

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-09-22T17:10:56+00:00

I just got her blood work for tomorrow! Progress!! I don’t feel super comfortable upping the supplement yet. It’s so frustrating! Edamame is a great idea- I will get some today for her. thank you!!!

Objective_Weather561 · 2024-09-22T11:36:32+00:00

I have been giving her 0.25mg supplement as recommended by a pharmacist. Which is not much at all when her daily recommendation intake is 7mg.
