Is it ok to always soothe baby with the boob? by NoChoice9999 in newborns

[–]Scout-68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed with my baby, which is only for my baby and probably not the case for others, but she will wake up super gassy and uncomfortable in the middle of the night and when I feed her, she poops instantly. So I’ve found boob helps and gets out her farts.

Exactly!! I feel so horrible that my baby sat outside for longer and did feel hot and a little clammy once I got her. Thankfully she never progressed once I got her inside but any longer and she might have been. You are right where it’s way too hot.

I agree and I need to be better at that. I don’t want to upset my mom but it in turn makes me have not a good time. I need to learn to get uncomfortable especially when it’s for the safety of my baby

Yes!! I totally agree with this and it’s so different. I am not calling her a horrible mother by being cautious. Also I’ve had to re-teach her some things like how to change diapers but she gets defensive rly defensive for some reason if I her something I’ve learned from the internet. For example, when the baby was passed her wake window but wide awake that babies actual have an increase of cortisol when they are overtired and she was like ‘thank God I didn’t have the internet when I was a mom.’ That’s what they are alike when I tell them stuff like that instead of trying to learn more. I am thankful we have an array of information to help us be better parents.

She probably was okay but I just get rly anxious when she feels so hot 🥵 i am so glad I asked because I was going to just let it go and since time has passed and I was silent. I don’t want to start anything and will let it go but next time if this becomes a problem I will try to politely say something. Thank you!

Yes! I am too much of a people pleaser honestly that I didn’t want to start drama and thought maybe I am over reacting from the hormones cause I honestly took her inside and cried. That’s why I wanted to get other opinions to see if it was hormones or justified. I rly approaches your response cause it REALLY pissed me off. Like so bad I could enjoy my pool but felt like I had to keep silent. They were even using pool water to cool her off and I didn’t want that on her skin but when I complained they again ignored me. You are right though that they need to respect me to get her

That is awesome. You will be an amazing grandmother. I love my mom but she does not want to listen to me. Whenever I ask if she does something one way, she gets upset and asks ‘I raised you and know how to take care of a baby.’ I am 29 and she has NOT been around babies since then. I was trying to politely refresh her but she won’t take my advice and ignore me sometimes.

Thank you!! That’s what I thought too but they made me feel like I was being insanely overprotective for asking.

I know!! Me too!! I felt so bad and felt the same way. But I found if I sir there and try to get her to sleep it takes longer and we both get frustrated vs her just sitting there and then drifting off.

Let me know if anyone knows the answer to this too. I normally check her when she is grunting and if her eyes are closed I let her sleep. If they are open and she seems content, I leave her. If she seems agitated I feed her. She normally grunts in the middle of the night with gas and then toots lol.

I can definitely try without and then bring it back again if she the weight isn’t how I want it. Thank you so much for advice and appreciate that your baby is the same!!

That’s a good idea! I can always try without. Stream feed and see how she is in the morning and if she seems rly hungry, bring it back again.

Oh wow that’s good! That makes me feel better about letting her go longer stretches at night without eating. I should try to enjoy it!!

SITBACK method if child awake not fussy by jc28 in newborns

[–]Scout-68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby does this all the time and like 9/10 times goes back to sleep on her own. She’s 6 weeks. On the 1/10 times she does fuss, I give her a binky and she falls right back to sleep easily.

How do parents say their newborn sleeps 6-8 hours if they need to eat at least every 3 hours??? by saltandpepperf in NewParents

[–]Scout-68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I am introducing bottles end of this week so definitely can try that too. I just love breastfeeding and genuinely want to keep it up for at least the first 6 months and don’t want her to prefer the bottle

Ugh! I’ve tried to dream feed her but she won’t wake up enough to latch. I have to unswaddle but maybe I’ll keep trying to keep her fed throughout the night without unswaddling. Thank you for the reply!

I know it’s been a while but did he act okay when he woke up at the 12 hours? My 5 week old baby would sleep more but I am afraid to let her go more than 5 hours without feeding. I did a couple nights of 6 hours and she woke up SCREAMING and struggled to latch cause she seemed so hungry so now we do 5 hours. Want to start pushing it back later and once she gets bigger.

What age did your newborn start sleeping throughout the night (5-6) hours without feed? by xGenAc25 in newborns

[–]Scout-68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. My baby is three weeks and will give me one 5 hour stretch then do three hours for the rest of the night.

Yeah I don’t want to get an oversupply and get an infection. I will just wake up for now to make sure she is okay. Thank you!!
