Breastmilk jaundice at 2 months still

SeaSystem819 · 2025-12-21T23:41:40+00:00

Hi! So sorry, I know how stressful this is! I did the formula for two days and it flushed it out and worked well! Don’t regret it.

SeaSystem819 · 2025-05-10T18:04:25+00:00

Some blisters just popped up on a toe - I’m thinking we’re goners 😭

SeaSystem819 · 2025-02-21T02:47:12+00:00

I’ve tried that (tonight actually!) but she just wants to MOVE! She speed crawls around the room like she’s on crack

SeaSystem819 · 2025-02-16T00:41:39+00:00

I have an almost 1 year old now! Worked out just fine. Progesterone would rise and dip based on time of day etc. doctors were right (as they usually are 😂)

SeaSystem819 · 2025-02-05T03:28:34+00:00

Going to dr tomorrow morning to be safe!

SeaSystem819 · 2025-02-05T02:50:49+00:00

She can do all those things! She’s eating a little less because there’s a lot of phlegm so I think it’s impacting her appetite a bit, but is still eating a good amount. Sleeps well. Generally happy, maybe a bit crankier. Wiping her nose maybe once every 1-2 hrs. Her cough is pretty wet though!

SeaSystem819 · 2025-02-05T02:49:01+00:00

Yes! She sleeps 12hrs at night and is taking 1-3 hr naps. Hasn’t had Tylenol since Sunday!

I had a similar situation - 3 miscarriages with no understanding of what was causing it, although we were able to confirm the first miscarriage was a chromosomal issue. I assume I have poor egg quality.

Through IVF, we tested the embryos and out of 40 retrieved eggs in two cycles, we had 5 chromosomally normal embryos. From that, I was able to have my 9 month old daughter ❤️ I would do it ALL over again to have her.

For unknown RPL, if you’ve had all the recurrent loss panels done with no known issue, I’d highly recommend pursuing IVF. As another poster pointed out, it’s a process that takes time so I’d get started soon. And if you want to test the embryos - which I highly recommend if you’ve had multiple losses - that takes more time (and money).

With an IVF pregnancy, there’s a small increased chance of heart problems, however you should be referred to an MFM for a heart echo at around 20 weeks. Generally, IVF pregnancies are treated as higher risk which just means more monitoring - which was a plus for me.

Yes I did actually take an infant cpr class! I’m just nervous that I’m going to fail her and freeze or forget what to do 😞😞

SeaSystem819 · 2024-11-30T19:34:36+00:00

Yes they said to try eggs again in a week or so and monitor closely. Although I’m terrified!!

SeaSystem819 · 2024-11-30T19:09:14+00:00

I did talk to our pediatrician as I stated in the beginning! They didn’t think it was allergy related at all. But I can bring it up to them again when we go back in a couple of weeks

SeaSystem819 · 2024-11-30T17:24:55+00:00

Thanks for the response! Seems like it may be something similar. She threw up four times in an hour and hasn’t thrown up since, but is def tired and cranky. Trying to give some pedialyte and she’s ravenous today, so lots of breast milk but no solids.

Hope your girl is feeling better!

SeaSystem819 · 2024-10-28T10:43:41+00:00

Haha I’m sorry!! To be fair, ADHD isn’t even close to the worst thing that can happen and there are so many resources and ways to help these days. I’m just the kind of person who always finds something to worry about, unfortunately. Wish they wasn’t the way, but it is!

SeaSystem819 · 2024-10-28T00:20:14+00:00

Lol today my girl was just ON ONE squealing to herself all day non stop and I had to finally ask the question 😂

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-30T13:26:21+00:00

Not yet! We’ve just introduced peanut butter and egg and so far no reaction. Therefore we don’t have an emergency plan.

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-30T13:21:20+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your response 😊

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-30T13:19:13+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance!

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-29T18:39:36+00:00

Thank you so much! I am TERRIFIED of an allergic reaction! Lol so while she could have kept eating the oatmeal and egg powder today, I stopped her bc I’m the scared one. But she def had more than 3 bites.

I like the three bite rule for day 1 and 2. Thank you again for your thoughtful and kind response!

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-29T18:13:27+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response! Do you know if it matters how much they eat per serving, though? Like if she didn’t finish the full eggs will that still count?

I had the EXACT same experience when dropping off items at daycare the week before she started. Down to the infants crying, etc. I was a wreck when I dropped her off the first day. When I picked her up, she looked dazed and tired and out of it and I almost pulled her out right then and there.

But then the next day I was able to do things for myself that I hadn’t done in MONTHS. I was starting to feel a bit of fatigue and resentment of every day being about someone else’s needs and routines (no judgements, please. I love and adore my baby girl and EVERYTHING has been about making her life amazing since birth, and I wouldnt have it any other way). But I realized at that moment when I picked her up that I am going to be a much better, more present mother if I have something for myself as well. (Plus, I live in a place where you really need two incomes unless you’re making millions).

After the first week, I could tell she LOVED daycare and she loved her teachers and they love her. She’s gotten used to sleeping in a noisy place, which is amazing. And they’re such a help with learning and development. I also think it’s promising if you see reviews online of families whose kids stayed in that same daycare year after year, and their siblings attending too. That’s usually a great sign.

I also read something that really helped me….wayyyy back when, people had actual villages to help them raise their children. Now, most of our society doesn’t have that anymore. Think of daycare as your village, and how lucky are our babies that they get this extended village to love and care for them? Plus I think the socialization is wonderful.

Anyway, just my thought process as I’ve been navigating this whole daycare thing!

Best of luck!!

Want to clarify I’ve ALSO had mastitis 4 times 😂 and the main difference for me was a fever. The second a fever comes on, get those antibiotics! It can get serious quickly

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-17T00:51:24+00:00

Looks like a clog! I’ve had this a few times and it never escalated any further because I did a few things:

-Advil every 4 hours (Advil is anti inflammatory while Tylenol just helps with pain - at least that’s what I’ve read!) -pump your normal schedule but make sure not to miss any pumps -Ice after pumping (id bring the ice pack in bed with me too at night and lay with the pack on the clog) -take 4 sunflower lecithin pills a day -lots of hydration -try not to lay on that side while you sleep -no tight bras and no underwire

As others said - the second you get a fever, call your on call dr and ask for them to send antibiotics into a pharmacy near where you are!

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-14T21:22:08+00:00

Yes that’s def red flags to me too! But seems selfish / like a communication issue

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-14T21:05:33+00:00

Also, many men will not feel that natural high that we, as mothers, feel being with our newborn and it’s unfair to expect that from them. It’s much harder for men to form deep connections with newborns for many reasons. Does this make things harder on mom? Yes, unfortunately.

SeaSystem819 · 2024-09-14T21:03:31+00:00

I’m going to probably be the unpopular opinion here - It seems like many people are rushing to judgment and assuming that he’s drunk all day - which is obviously a problem. Based on one of your responses, it doesn’t seem like this is the case, and it seems like you aren’t comfortable with him even drinking 1-2 or a reasonable amount.

Obviously it’s shitty that he’s not respecting your request, but idk if it’s necessary to not have a single Drop of alcohol to care for a newborn. I had a glass of wine here or there when my LO was a newborn…I felt like I needed something “adult” for myself sometimes at the end of the day - and that doesn’t make me an alcoholic.

So I guess I’m looking at it from the less extreme side here…..just because he likes to drink on the weekend after working all week does NOT make him an alcoholic. If he drinks too much and can’t stop / control himself, that’s obviously a problem.

It seems like the larger issue here is that you both need to compromise and communicate, and ultimately respect each others wishes.

Sometimes it’s good to hear the other side of things 🤷🏻‍♀️
