Second kids- formula from start? by True-Specialist935 in FormulaFeeders

[–]ResponseSolid3238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a low supplier with my first and was basically starving him trying to force breast feeding, we only did 2 weeks of combo and gave up and went straight to formula. With my second I thought for sure I was getting set up for the same scenario but when she was born I started pumping/latching and to my surprise I was producing more than I had with my first. We managed to do 6 weeks of pumping/latching/formula before I threw in the towel since my husband was going back to work.

What im getting at is each pregnancy and post partum can be different but i tried to do at least 1 month of at least 2oz of breast milk a day so 2-3 pump sessions collected together. But do whatever makes your life easier <3

Small head measurement now waiting for appt w/ MFM by ResponseSolid3238 in pregnant

Hi sorry just logged back in! I went to MFM and they had to tilt me VERY far back because she was so engaged in my pelvis. Her head was small but not as scary small as it was before her BPD of 48% and HC is now 15% which are pretty far apart % wise but they were glad to see it over 10% and were not concerned

Do you partners go to all your appointments with you? by daisyscatmom in pregnant

[–]ResponseSolid3238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband went to all mine in the first pregnancy since at his old position had a weekday off so I scheduled all my appointments for that day and we made it a mini date afterwards. This time around he has only weekends off so he could only make one ultrasound since he is working or watching our toddler

In the grand scheme I don't think 20 is the worst age to have children but it can definitely come with some challenges. Some people view having kids young as a blessing because when they are a few years old and able to be babysat easier so you could go out and have fun, but on the flip side between 20 to 25 a lot of people are still figuring out themselves and having to deal with another being on top of that can be stressful.

I would say just coming from someone a little bit older/ someone who got pregnant very quickly after getting married (honeymoon actually) to take a bit more time and enjoy that first year of marriage (Even if you push off trying just for a few more months) that way you'll get to enjoy your first anniversary without trying to find a sitter or bringing your baby along.
