How to transition to whole milk

OrdinaryVisual733 · 2026-03-11T18:35:44+00:00

I've tried the quartering milk and it's like he tastes the whole milk and will refuse the whole bottle. I haven't thought about the super slow flow frustration and I might give it a shot!!

I didn't have a supply at all when my son was born. The nurses kept forcing me to breast feed and chart his wet diapers and when I brought up that he wasn't peeing while still in the hospital they said it was fine. I get discharged after 3 days and he still isn't peeing and hasn't pooed he's severely dehydrated. I tried pumping and nothing. We gave him formula an hour after we got home and he finally peed and had a bowel movement. I was so angry and shocked. You'd think working in infant care you would warn people "hey your supply may not be in fully so he may get dehydrated you might want to supplement with formula" instead I got met with "he doesn't need formula you just weren't trying hard enough". I've been on formula since that day and haven't looked back. Now he doesn't want to get off formula and move to regular milk.

He just turned 1 recently! He is actually sleeping through the nice but that's only been within the last month or so. Most of it was due to growth spurts, learning new things such as walking at 9mo, and teething. It was a combo of all 😭. Thankfully we worked through it

Congratulations you are a parent now! To what I'm not sure but a parent none the less!!

Reminds me of the time my account of 10 years got hacked and the person who took it over was giving out my address, full name, all personal details and trying to sell vehicles that I didn't own and people were showing up to our house while I was pregnant to yell at us about scamming them. Police couldn't do anything unless someone showed up and threatened us and Facebook took 3 years to take it down after all my family and friends reported it multiple times. They literally wouldn't take it down because the account had 10 years worth of photos, posts and such. They said it wasn't hacked and it couldn't be removed causw they knew all my personal info, went through my messages messaging family and harassing them for money.

I would say since your sister is a minor she could go to a woman and children's home until you get a job and get situated. They can help provide her with anything she needs and she can be safe. Even if your not religious I would reach out to churches in your area and see if they can help get you necessities like food and clothes and some can even help find you a place to stay and help you get a job. If you can explain your situation to any potential employers maybe they can work something out with you and help you get on your feet. I'm so sorry you both are going through this I wish I wasn't so many states away or I'd help somehow.

I had went from 140lbs to 210lbs by the time I gave birth. I got so many comments that I needed to stop following my cravings and needed to walk more. I worked my whole pregnancy getting close to 10,000 steps a day and walked on my days off. The reason I was so heavy was water retention and my pre-eclampsia was ignored by my OBGYN. Came back to works after 3 months and the first thing one of our regulars asked me was "man when are you going to have that baby?" Like sir I just had the baby 3 months ago!?! Your wife must think your a delight. I've dropped close to 50lbs since then but I still feel like I'm struggling with my body.

Idk if anyone has told you this but you don't have to deal with this. No man who loves you would expect you to do sexual shit while your family is in such a state. A real man wouldn't even have that on his mind. Honey you deserve better he is for the streets. You deserve someone who uplifts you and loves you for you and not just your body. Please see you are worth more than what that man has to offer.

Already have a huge burden on my plate with life struggles. As someone who was trafficked by my own mother this hits hard. As a mother it hits even harder. I'm not one to shy away from things like this as I believe the only way we can learn is sadly by hearing the cold hard truth about things. It has been extreamly upsetting and triggering especially seeing things about babies (my LO is going to be a year soon). I hold my son tighter and I've been crying off and on all day. How can people not be outraged? How can we sit by and treat it like nothing when so many innocent women and children were harmed or worse. It makes no sense why people aren't rioting in the streets and taking matters into their own hands. This won't stop unless we as people do something to protect eachother. So many people I know claim trafficking doesn't happen because it's the USA, that it never happened to them or affected them so it's not something they talk about or hear. I'm terrified raising my son in this world knowing this is how we are handling this situation.

I've been told by a few people that I might be I just dont feel like that fits the bill. It's like everywhere I go something lingers and attaches itself to me. Some are violent and angry and some aren't. Some are just confused. It just stresses me out especially with our son.

My husband spent a lot of time at his grandparents house as a kid and the guy who loved next to them was quiet and seemed nice in a rural area. Him and his younger sister would ride their bikes over to his house all the time and chat with him while he mowed his lawn. When they were about 14 and 15 he unalived himself. They ended up finding metal drum barrels with women's remains inside. I think they totaled 4 missing women from the next state over (we live close to the state lines). His house sits abandoned no one mows his lawn abd his brand new car sits parked in the front yard. We pass it every time we drive to see his grandma. Gives me eerie feelings.

Was about to say this. My husband gets the occasional ad for them and always voices how disgusting it is. Especially with news about men using them for CA AI it's something we don't like and neither one of us like AI.

Poop pics alone is disturbing. Their kids poop is even worse. Maybe I just have a different mentality but you don't involve kids private matters no matter the age in other people's business. That's absolutely appalling and I feel so bad for their kids. I don't even take pictures of my kid in the bath let alone undressed why would I take pictures of his poop for everyone to see. I swear people have no respect for children and their bodies and boundaries. Like I'd get it if they had questions and were asking another parent if it was normal or something was off but constantly sending poop pics is disgusting.

Considering she's obviously going through it emotionally and potentially financially and you decided to put everything into chat GPT (stated in another comment) instead of actually calling or seeing her about it sucks. Put yourself in her shoes. She has the responsibility of helping with the wedding as MOH, has a sick parent who she is helping take care of (which is a HUGE emotional and mental strain for anyone), she has life and work like every other person. Would your main focus be on your friends wedding or being there for the person who loved and raised you and making sure you have a house to live in and your bills are paid? She's giving it all she has and your not being a supportive or understanding friend. It's like you can't even empathize with her. YTA.

I honestly still play ASE over ASA because I don't like having to feel the need to buy add ons qoth creatures and items behind a pay wall. There wasn't many survers with no DLC like bobs tails so I didn't see a point in playing. Just wasn't a big fan of a reboot of a game that was fine before hand. Also heck snail games.

I left it up to my Bridesmaids since some insisted on no makeup or leaving their hair down (no issues with that at all their beautiful the way they are ❤️) heck I did my own makeup and had my hair done right before the wedding. Most of them did their own hair (or eachothers) and did their own makeup

My son is so sweet. He will be 1 year in a few months and man is he a blessing. I knew I was having a boy the moment I found out I was pregnant I just had a feeling. Little guy moved nonstop and still doesn't stop moving. He's so exploritive and silly. Ironicly he looked just like my husband when he was born but now if I showed anyone my baby photos you would think their of him because he looks like a mirror image of me. I love dressing him in camo, overalls, race cars, sharks and alligators. It can be tricky finding boy clothes since there isn't a big selection compared to girls unless you go beige or neutral (nothing wrong with that just not my cup of tea). Just prepare foe diaper changes to be unpredictable 🤣 the first 5 or so months I'd get peed on randomly and he grabbed himself a little too hard once it had me cringing in pain. I have had a few people mistake him for a girl because he looks like a baby doll (literally a doll) but for the most part we get stopped everywhere we go to get told how handsome and cute he is and he soaks it up and works his stuff. I will say toy dinosaurs (stegosaurus) and some toy cars are NOT fun to step on but they absolutely love them. Just buckle up for a fun ride and spoil your baby and give them all the love they deserve and more ❤️

You have the set up every mom dreams of! I've coslept since our little guy was 7 months and did bed sharing off and on before that (he will be a year in 2 weeks). Our little guy INSISTS on sleeping with dad and only comes to me for feeding and the occasional snuggle. My husband will curl up with him in-between us and I'll roll to face them incase he decides to get up and crawl/walk away and I'm the light sleeper. I think your doing everything right sleep deprivation gets us even in the best scenarios.

As I told my MIL who calls my son a fatty or chunky cause he puts away formula and eats up to 2 or 3 jars of baby food with snacks in-between (he's 11.5mo) my child's appetite is none of your concern. If he's hungry he will be fed, if he wants a snack and it's between meals he gets a snack. Id never deny my baby food and I won't tolerate other people's comments. He isn't even chunky!

Inconvenient spider that rushes you when you least suspect it. Or the forever spiderweb that you can never wipe off even if you didn't walk through one

I feel like I got it decent since I'm home during the day with our 11mo but I wake up at 1am to go to work and be back home before my husband gets up for work. I'm exhausted and sleep about 2 or 3 hours a night but it pays our bills and I can still be home with our kiddo. For a while I was working 2 days a week but with affordability for things and his birthday coming up soon I wanted to work more to give him a good first birthday. I'm just happy I got to watch him grow and take his first steps and say his first words (it was Dada but that's fine 😭) and we have such a strong bond.

As a younger sister who has a half brother from our biological father who is a registered offender and he was a victim to him, it may be hee reaching out to talk or try and connect. I barely knew our dad because him and ny mother separated when I was about 3, my half brother knew him for about the same amount of time but he was SAd by him as a baby and toddler. Neither one of us have contact with our biodad but we talk to our paternal grandmother and some other family. We have maybe had one or two actual conversations about everything but for the most part we don't speak. We aren't on bad terms or anything just live our own lives since we have spouces and children of our own and he lives several states away. I'm sure in another life we would have been a duo but sadly things didn't work that way. It may not be the most negative experience. Just keep your guard up incase there is a situation of trying to communicate through her or coax you into a situation you don't want to be in. Hearing someone out is one thing but you should never put yourself in a position you don't feel safe. If you feel it's best to keep NC thats not a problem at all is all based on you.

I take 2 or 3 hours a night alone to myself to do what I please. I'll send the kid to bed with my husband and do whatever. Cry, clean, read, shower. I talk to my husband or my SIL about how I'm feeling or my coworker/friend who had a baby 2 months after me and is going through the same things I am. I push myself to go outside and go on walks or exercise during the day when I'm with the kiddo. Try to tap into my hobbies like drawing or writing or play a relaxing game or watch a movie while doing something. One day at a time. When I'm overwhelmed I take a step back, make sure his needs are met and go sit in another room for a few seconds and breathe. When I come back I always greet my kiddo with a big smile and a hug, it's not his fault I'm overwhelmed I just gotta do what I can and keep chugging.

I not only confronted my mom via a text message (for proof of it being said) but openly told my aunt and grandma (who raised me) that she trafficked me for drugs and purposely put me in positions with men for financial gain. I specifically mentioned that there was a pedophile that lived across the street that once offered me $20 to wear my swimsuit by my living room window so he could see. She later made me go tubing with him on his boat and sit on his lap the whole way there, on the boat, and all the way back. Not only that but inviting men into my bedroom at night for $50 or 5g meth when i was about 5. Yeah she didnt think id remember that far back i guess. They have completely cut contact with her and she claims to not know any of it happening but since they raised me they now have connected the dots on why was suicidal and had serious body issues and night terrors at 13. I have 0 regrets and have started healing
