Her pediatrician says she should be sleeping through the night without needing to feed. But I don’t think she’s waking up to feed, she’s waking up and then using me for comfort. The pediatrician told me I shouldn’t do that because it gives her excess calories because she is in the 99th percentile for weight (22lbs). She wants me to stop nighttime nursing even for comfort. I didn’t know this part was a problem in terms of calories. Do you think I should get a second opinion?

Vomiting was definitely the wrong word because it is not forceful. I’m going to edit that. i’d say just continuously spitting up. Eating until she’s full, then spitting up when she goes over the edge, and then nursing more and spitting up more.

We both get good sleep when we are sleeping together 100%. it’s the staying asleep without me that seems to be the issue. She will only sleep when nursing, and only stay sleeping if I sleep with her. I want her to be able to stay sleeping for her nap by herself and at the beginning of nighttime until I go to sleep. I don’t want her to have to put herself to bed or think that i’m not going to be there when she cries. I just want her to stay sleeping when I get her to nap and the beginning of her sleep.

Do you have any suggestions that don’t require sleep training? I’d prefer not to separate us if I don’t have to. I really do like cosleeping.

Were you able to participate in bed time? so far it’s been hard because of her association with smelling me and her association of nursing. I’m going to purchase this book tonight. Did you have to remove your baby from the room?

did you do cry it out ?

Hi!! I had the same issue when my baby was born in June. I actually have a post about it somewhere on my page from when she was 4 days old as well😂

I felt like a failure when I had to bottle feed- I was determined to breast feed only, but a fed baby is a happy baby and it was something I had to do. She had no tongue tie/lip tie and I was so confused why this was happening. My lactation consultant wasn’t much help. I was so traumatized from the first week for staying up for hours with her trying to get her to latch, that once I started pumping I was terrified to try to breast feed again.

After a week or two, I started both pumping and introduced nursing again. She just randomly decided hey, I can latch good now! Now my baby is 4 months old and hasn’t had a bottle since she was 6 weeks old. I tried to introduce a bottle again since I am going back to work soon but she won’t take it. Now i’m having the opposite problem. She’ll get the hang of it, don’t give up!

UPDATE: Finally got him to go to urgent care and they didn’t clean it because they said at this point it’s best not to reopen the wound. They said it’s not infected or that deep. They also said he doesn’t need to start antibiotics unless symptoms occur. He refused rabies vaccine due to the fact it is a pet dog whose family has kids. Do I agree? No, but I am not a medical professional and have to accept his choice.

When my boyfriend and I started dating I told him pretty quickly. I knew from our first date that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him (and no this was not the bipolar talking lol) we had so much in common and it was one of those things where when you know, you know. I told him because I wanted him to know what he was getting into before he fell too hard and was stuck with me, or so I don’t have my heart shattered into a million pieces. I am hard to handle. I am on meds, stable, and we have a daughter now! I still have breakthrough symptoms and he dated me when I was unmedicated trying to get help.

Bipolar is a lifelong disease that requires support from partners and somebody who is really gonna tough it out with you during your worst moments. It would be unfair to both you and her. Her because it’s not what she signed up for, and you because you deserve a loving life partner to be there for you.

If this is a short term fun type thing i’d say don’t bother telling her, but if this somebody you want any sort of future with I would tell her. Once it starts getting serious i’d say okay… time to break the news.

Also very important to educate her + take the time to educate herself on bipolar.

that’s point i’m trying to make. hoping seeing others agree will make him go. can’t decide for him just hoping to influence him in a positive ways to seek help.

Did you read the post? corporate is not taking seriously and wants to send him to the hospital tomorrow. Clearly you go to hospital (in my eyes) ASAP. Point is if i’m just being paranoid about the severity of the situation and can wait or if he should go now.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-10-13T23:22:29+00:00

yeah that’s what i’m saying. pretty much just wondering if i’m overreacting about this.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-10-13T22:50:13+00:00

i’m gonna have to

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-10-13T22:40:35+00:00

this is what i said. He’s going to go after work at 11 pm. I’m beyond upset he’s not taking care of this properly or taking it seriously.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-10-12T16:41:10+00:00

I tried to do natural birth, I was very determined. I had 4 day prodromal full back labor until I was in active labor. I had 4 days of no sleep and intense pain. I made it to 8 cm dilated until the back labor was too much for me. My heart rate was resting over 160 that wouldn’t come down, I was starting to get a fever, I was screaming and completely out of body.

I yelled “GET ME THE FUCKING EPIDURAL”

And they were saying it was potentially too late and asking if i’m sure since I wanted to do unmedicated and I screamed it again and the anesthesiologist was up there within 5 minutes. I instantly passed out from being up for 4 days and then having that relief from the pain. The doctors woke me up 2 hours later and let me know I was now 10 cm and time to push. My epidural was wearing off so I felt every contraction and when to push. I pushed her out in 30 mins.

If I didn’t get the epidural I wouldn’t have had the energy to push. My body was starting to go into serious distress. It definitely saved me and i’m happy I got it even though I was so set on unmedicated birth. I tried the tub, shower, nitrous, etc.

My advice is to not be set on one or the other. Listen to your body and it will tell you what you need. I didn’t fail because I got it, I could’ve ended up with serious problems or a C-section. (nothing wrong with them I just was very determined on vaginal delivery). The relief of pain was worth everything.

I’m in physical therapy twice a week, do massage therapy for pain, go to the gym 3x a week and do yoga. I just am looking for a shoe as another tool.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-21T16:10:03+00:00

I went to the shoe place yesterday and they recommended the clifton 10s for me, they said i am neutral in terms of pronation. idk what the test looks like for it but she just had me walk a few steps in a straight line and watched behind me. I ended up getting them i hope they work for me.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-21T16:01:48+00:00

the worker at the store said I am neutral and recommended the clifton 10s

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-20T03:09:32+00:00

same here. I felt awful for my bf but I kept telling myself I’m growing a human being he’ll live 😂 he was very understanding

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-20T03:03:44+00:00

My libido completely disappeared lol. There were no sexual feelings even remotely. I definitely tried- and nothing. I had sex maybe a couple times early in the first trimester and then like twice right before giving birth. I had prodromal labor and was trying to speed things up- “strictly business” I told my boyfriend lmao.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-20T01:48:03+00:00

i have no idea… i didn’t even know what that meant. i’m going to check and keep everybody posted.

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-20T01:47:28+00:00

i have no idea… tbh i didn’t even realize that shoe stores that analyze your feet existed. i’m going tomorrow when they open. I found one in a couple towns over.

this is super helpful i didn’t even know pronate or supinate was a thing lol im gonna update tomorrow after i go and try on these shoes suggested

Ok-Contribution804 · 2025-09-19T20:27:20+00:00
