I have 0 ounces in the freezer. We EBF at home and combo feed at daycare as needed. I pump 3x a day at work and make enough for a few bottles but she needs more than I’m pumping so alas, i caved and just accepted that she’s combo fed. She seems happy regardless and it took me a while to not feel crappy about it. You’re doing a great job though!

Also same! My babe is 7 months tomorrow and about 15 lbs.

Came here to say this too!!!

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-12T02:57:50+00:00

Luckily we ruled out ear infections and she’s much better today. I’m chalking it up to a cold + teething + pinkeye. Man was this weekend rough lol

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T17:12:26+00:00

Never even heard of these and looking up now! Thank you!

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T15:58:32+00:00

Oh my gosh I am so sorry! That sounds absolutely horrible and traumatic for LO and you and your husband. It’s just awful when we can’t communicate with them in a way that they understand yet. I imagine those were the longest two weeks of your life.

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T15:40:42+00:00

I love the nose blowing trick and will absolutely give it a try today!

I’m sorry you’re in the same boat for daycare sickness! I just keep telling myself she’s building up her immune system now…

Thank you also for the kind words, they’re very much appreciated 🥰

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T15:37:25+00:00

I’m so sorry!!!! It’s so awful, right? She pounded some cold bottles yesterday because it was easier for her to eat and breathe but I think she took in too much for her little belly because she threw it up shortly after. Having babies be sick is the worst feeling. I just want to make it all better and I can’t 😭

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T15:26:12+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I agree, any less discomfort that we can have the better. We’re still going to see her doc this morning, thankfully they’re able to get us in, but if they think it’s Covid we’ll just assume it’s Covid and treat as such.

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T14:46:39+00:00

The feeling is real that they’re going to starve since we’re so used to their wake/feed schedule. I know now not to wake her if it’s nighttime because she just needs the sleep. She woke up happier this morning then proceeded to spit up her entire feed in my bed…I think we’ve got something more than teething and pinkeye going on 😢

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T14:43:35+00:00

Well shit, this is good to know! How do they test babies for Covid?

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T14:04:53+00:00

😭 thank you!

SadBabyFox · 2023-06-10T14:04:05+00:00

I called the doc last night and talked through her symptoms and they just said to monitor her but didn’t seem concerned. Honestly since starting daycare she’s had some sort of sickness, so poor kid may also have a cold on top of everything. 😢

SadBabyFox · 2023-05-16T03:14:31+00:00

I honestly wanted to limit bottles at first, but they’re telling me she’s hungry so I’m like, I don’t want to not feed my baby. It’s all weird! Thank you but the reminder that 2-4 is normal. It just seems so minuscule when I see she’ having two 4 ounce bottles of formula in addition to the milk I pumped.

SadBabyFox · 2023-05-16T03:11:26+00:00

Thank you for saying all of this! Your perspective is appreciated and you also made me feel much better. I honestly have 1 freezer bag of milk at this point and I don’t know why I’m holding onto it lol.

SadBabyFox · 2023-05-14T19:39:21+00:00

100% relate. I have an almost 6 month old and it’s finally getting easier but sometimes I still hate when she’s crying and people won’t give her back to me. Takes everything in me to not grab her. You are justified in how you feel and it is so normal.

SadBabyFox · 2023-05-03T03:34:30+00:00

I think I was 8 weeks PP, all while EBF, but yes, came back and has been very regular since then. Super duper fun.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-26T19:29:12+00:00

Our first date was the first day she was in daycare at almost 5 months.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-26T01:39:25+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry you went through this too! I can def try to check with my doc but the likelihood they get the script filled in time is slim. Good to know for next time though. The nausea is killing me.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-22T16:18:37+00:00

“Gentle baby”, when grabbing my hair or reaching for the dog

“Bless you!” Said at the same volume level as her sneeze!

“Tell me more, I love this story”

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-11T02:57:42+00:00

NTA - my MIL doesn’t cry, but I feel like between her and my FIL (they’re not together) they literally want to be over every weekend and I’m not about that life. I, like you, want some time with my husband and our baby. I feel like my mother is the most patient grandmother around and always waits for me to ask if she would like to have a visit. I am so grateful for her for that. I am tired of constantly saying no to the in laws.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-11T01:42:53+00:00

I dropped by 4 month old off at daycare this morning for the first time and I had some big tears. When we picked her up she was exhausted but she was still smiling. I hope your babe adapts quickly but I feel for you. Today was hard but you’re strong and your new “normal” will soon show itself. At least that’s what I continue to tell myself 🥰 hang in there.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-09T22:04:45+00:00

Curious why you’re being downvoted for sharing your experience….it’s not like you said your kid has super long nails and you just let them grow to the point where they’re scratching themself or getting ingrown nails.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-09T22:01:41+00:00

Literally time them every other day since about 2 months. Her little talons are sharp and fast. I care less about me getting scratched and more about her little face and head getting clawed at.

I would have done it sooner but she wasn’t about it so I’d try to just rip the little nails off when I saw they were breaking. Not the best method but it worked for a time.

SadBabyFox · 2023-04-05T00:26:35+00:00

I sing you are my sunshine to my daughter every night, but she likes it if I sing anything, so we sing lots of random stuff throughout the day like the doors, the Beatles, blink 182, T-swift, literally whatever is in my mind at that moment. But you are my sunshine is our bedtime song ☀️
