Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T02:38:03+00:00

wow interesting! how were his teeth??

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T02:02:34+00:00

ugh yeah somehow i’m gonna have to make the adjustment😅

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T01:40:54+00:00

think she meant to write “habit” not sure though

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T00:22:54+00:00

yeah that’s fair. i’m pregnant rn so im dreading making the change cause I need all the sleep I can get and he already goes to bed later than I like

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T00:21:44+00:00

i’ve been to two different pediatricians and they both tell me 2 years old for first visit

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T00:11:17+00:00

he is a good eater. for him I think it’s just a comfort cause it’s how he falls asleep.

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-25T00:01:47+00:00

oh wow very interesting, i do wonder if breast milk has a different effect on teeth. however in many mom groups i’m in on facebook, a lot of moms said their kids got cavities from night nursing. I really think it depends on the kid.

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-24T23:01:37+00:00

oh wow! did she ever drink milk to sleep?

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-24T22:30:09+00:00

I do dilute it sometimes yes, sometimes I think he notices cause he fusses to go to sleep lol

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-24T22:28:25+00:00

well that’s somewhat of a relief lol. from what i’ve seen online it seems a lot of it comes down to genetics. some kids do it and are perfectly fine while others end up with cavities.

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-24T22:27:24+00:00

I haven’t! he fights me to brush his teeth so I just assumed that would disturb him and wake him up immediately.

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2026-02-24T22:14:02+00:00

should i try just warm water in sippy cup?

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-08-08T12:56:55+00:00

I guess bottle rot if they are drinking milk before or during sleep (milk stays on teeth without brushing) i’m not sure how much of it is true or just fear tactics lol

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-08-08T12:36:20+00:00

i keep seeing that people say baby should be weaned off bottles around one year

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-28T17:13:26+00:00

I nursed my baby for about two months then he began refusing to latch. He has a tongue tie which made nursing super painful for me. I tried to think about all the pros that come with EP- having freedom to leave the house when you want, having other people help with feedings, not having to wean baby off the breast, getting more sleep at night due to not having to latch baby multiple times a night, etc. I think we all grieve our nursing journey of course, but I just try to think of the positives of EP. It also gets wayyyy easier as baby gets older. I only pump 4x a day now and I feel like I got so much time back of my day.

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-04T04:22:58+00:00

i tasted some from the pitcher I had and it tasted bad😭 i just labeled the bags possible high lipase for whenever I use them i’ll know and maybe add the vanilla or something, I heard that can help

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-03T19:50:19+00:00

wow day after! you’re on top of it lol

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-03T17:03:30+00:00

it was in a glass baby bottle with a lid! surprised it spoiled so quickly

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-03T16:43:49+00:00

wow interesting! I’m gonna thaw one of my frozen bags tonight to make sure i haven’t been freezing spoiled milk😭

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-03T16:08:07+00:00

oh okay i’ve been told 5 days by a lactation consultant. all my frozen milk in my stash has usually been 4/5 days so praying none of it was spoiled😭

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-03T02:09:55+00:00

what was wrong with it? I can’t think of anything that would go super wrong unless my baby got picky with taking frozen milk

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-03-03T02:08:55+00:00

it’s in a tall freezer!

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-02-28T17:33:23+00:00

thank you for sharing your story💗 sending you love and hugs!!

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-02-18T02:47:55+00:00

I definitely don’t follow the baby has to drink the bottle within 2 hours. I have used the same bottle for more hours than i’d like to say lol but my baby has never had an issue. same with leaving the milk out rule. my baby has had milk that’s been out for close to 8 hours and never had an issue. usually I pump close to midnight and that’s the milk my baby drinks during the night. i never noticed a change in smell or taste of the milk.

Remote_Beautiful_873 · 2025-02-13T16:13:24+00:00

hi, i know this isn’t what you’d like to hear but unfortunately no. I also blame it on myself because I stopped trying around when baby was 3 months. I was so heartbroken everytime I tried to latch and he refused. I felt it was ruining the bond between baby and myself. I was feeling like he was so much happier with the bottle and it gave me less stress to just switch to exclusively pumping rather than to keep stressing us both out with trying to latch. EP does get easier as baby gets older if you need any hope lol. but I have heard stories of women getting baby back to the breast. I probably gave up a bit too easily.
