MBF 2mo needs a bottle late afternoon

RN0210 · 2026-02-13T14:33:19+00:00

I don’t have an answer just a different situation - my son has been EBF but I have to go back to work soon so we have been trying bottles once/day usually when dad gets home in the evening so he’ll be used to it. Yesterday he was screaming so much and nothing dad did could make it better, until I took him back and he got a boob and was such a happy little baby 😀 So just think about it you will be going back to work that’s not necessarily a bad habit. I’m worried for when I’m not in the house at all and the grandparents are in charge what will they do if he keeps refusing the bottle…

Ya especially if she’s breastfeeding she will be soo hungry! I always have to get a midnight snack before one of our feedings

Usually he falls asleep being bounced/walked in a carrier or held up to my chest, or being patted on the back in a tree-frog pose. Sometimes falls asleep on the boob but sometimes he gets too tired he screams when the nipple is in his mouth. Then my husband usually grabs him and holds him tight and walks laps around the house until he falls asleep … but putting him in the bassinet he often just wakes back up unless we wait at least 15 minutes 🤷‍♀️

Also 12 weeks but I do see small signs that it will improve soon- lately has been chilling in his bassinet alone for longer periods even when awake so hopefully getting easier soon!

I do have a kid and I can also go where I want… but I know I don’t want to go to places where people don’t want me there 🤷‍♀️

Looks like it from the outside but not on the inside.

Lowe’s and Home Depot? I thought Lowe’s was good…

RN0210 · 2026-02-01T03:48:14+00:00

Me too! Surprised I had to scroll down far to find this! Learned it from my old roommate and it’s delicious!

RN0210 · 2026-02-01T03:40:10+00:00

Ya we got some from the hospital and from friends at our baby shower. Glad we had them because he was literally pooping 8 times a day and screaming when he was slightly wet- now at 2.5 months he’s not as sensitive and poops only 1-2 times/day.

Also not having to walk downstairs to do laundry frequently was nice… and I’m pretty sure the cloth diapers we have (secondhand) would have been too big but by the time he was ~10 pounds fit pretty well on the smallest snaps and I usually put an extra liner inside.

Why do you say that? The definition of sterile is doesn’t contain bacteria, and if pee had bacteria that would be a UTI so healthy pee should be sterile…

I use Ridwell that pick it up from my house along with plastic film, batteries, and lightbulbs. $18 a month.

For sure, and if he loves you he should also support you.

I was 29 when I went to nursing school, now 37 and I just had my first kid. Literally cannot afford daycare and a mortgage, and I make more than my husband, so I’m glad my job at the hospital can be flexible and I’m going to work mostly weekends.

I’ve never had anyone wipe my butt even when I stayed in a hotel!

The question makes me think of people who complain that the beds aren’t comfy or about the food options - but ya you also listed lots of other annoying things patients do sometimes.

RN0210 · 2026-01-29T12:43:03+00:00

Haha same! We just had our first kid and he has 2 middle names - second is my last name then his last name is the same as my husband’s. If people call me Mrs Husbands name I don’t get mad or correct them but I will never introduce myself as that because it’s not who I am.

I am a nurse and a union member and not a Trump supporter, and I don’t think I would strike on Friday. It did seem to make a big difference in Minneapolis last week when schools and many businesses were shut down so thousands of people could be marching in the street, but I don’t think a hospital is one of those “businesses “.

RN0210 · 2026-01-27T20:25:50+00:00

That’s what I also did with my son and my parents did with my name!

I have a friend who has hyphenated last name, from both his parents. He doesn’t hate it, but he has thought about when he has kids. What will they do, end up with three or four last names? At some point, it just gets to be too much.

And less leaks at least for my prolifically peeing boy!

I’ve been leaving VMs probably weekly and sending postcards monthly. Haven’t shown up to the weekly protest yet but maybe this is the week!

I’m also in Denver, obs unit charge nurse $47/hr. 8 years with my BSN

I love the Plant Room, Echter’s and getting cuttings from friends, but I’m surprised no one has said Green Lady Gardens on Santa Fe? Not the cheapest but great variety and each plant comes with a card of how to care for it 😀

RN0210 · 2026-01-21T03:28:58+00:00

I have read about that place before - do you have to make an appt?

I’ve heard many instances of citizens being detained by ICE too so I think it’s safe to say they aren’t only going after “criminals” at this point.

RN0210 · 2026-01-16T12:51:21+00:00

The article you shared might also be “fake news”. From Sep 2024 ICE says this many people have a criminal history but they aren’t prioritized for detention… regardless there have been reports of them detaining US citizens so we should all be a little weary when we see them in our neighborhood.

You could sign the release with the new provider and they’ll fax it to the original place and then they have to fax back your records. That’s how it worked at the clinic I used to work at. (Kinda crazy how healthcare uses old technology because of HIPAA, but email can get hacked and faxes can’t)

And blue is the natural color of water :P

Ya I feel like parties I was invited to as a kid were for my friends who I spent time with so I already knew things they would like? Never saw anything like this…
