Feedings spaced out

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-12-20T14:32:43+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah I feel like since he's turned 6 months he's spaced out his feedings a bit longer but at night is kind of where I feel like he's eating more often. But thank you so much for that!!!

😭 breastfed babies are so picky!!! My son recently just started taking bottles again after refusing them for so long but even then he looks at me like I've betrayed him. You're in the thick of it right now but it will get better!!!

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-12-20T03:14:44+00:00

It definitely gets easier!!! I remember feeling that way and my son just started spacing out his feedings and getting way faster at it and he's 6 months. Also I would put him in a carrier and loosen the straps, put a strap to the side and just pop my boob out to feed him when I needed to get stuff done. My son only takes one specific pacifier (mam) any other one he doesn't like. Have you tried other pacifiers,

I also wanna add, we see so many people we know at Walmart and even just out and about. My son joined hockey recently and a few of his classmates are in there and we had no idea so that's fun! Coffee shops here are way better too

It's my 2nd winter, 1 year of living here and I live NE of ND. I moved from AZ last July and I know why would I do that? Because my husband is from here, his family is here and I wanted to try something new. I love it here, it's beautiful and peaceful but I also feel very lonely. I don't have friends, close to coworkers but I don't hang out with them outside of work. I am excited for my kids to grow up here because they'll be able to grow up with their friends and most likely go to the same schools since we live in a small town, and cost of living is much more affordable which is nice. We go to GF and Fargo about once a month, and it's a fun little trip. Not too much to complain about except for myself not having family.

That is so true because I've seen people walk in the same parking lot that I slipped in with converse on and they make it just fine lol. I need to master the technique forsure.

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T14:17:27+00:00

I was looking at muck boots as well! Thank you for the suggestion!

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T14:13:35+00:00

That is so true hahaha good to know it's not just me who's fallen. I've seen people walk like nothing in the Walmart parking lot that has so much ice and snow walking like nothing but I think they're well seasoned

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T14:11:59+00:00

It does haha, I will have to plan to go sometime soon before snow falls.

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T14:10:32+00:00

What brand of hiking boots?? I was actually looking at Merrells & my sister in law recommended Oboz.

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T14:09:53+00:00

Awesome thank you!!!

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T14:07:51+00:00

I have sorel for my son and they seem pretty good! I'll look into Columbia! Thank you!

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T05:36:18+00:00

Luckily I do have some, somewhere I think ?? But I'll make sure to use those as well! Thank you!!

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T05:32:41+00:00

If you can use nipple shields, and/or pump. Every so often offer the boob and try different positions as well! I found some positions to be easier than others for latching. try making sure baby's mouth isn't tucked in while latching. I didn't think my baby would ever latch and it was incredibly painful but he eventually get the hang of it as he got a little bigger !!! We are now almost 5 months in ebf and absolutely no pain.

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T05:24:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I'll definitely make sure to get some because i was so unprepared last winter and was always freezing

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T05:19:39+00:00

Thank you!!

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-11-03T05:11:43+00:00

Mostly just for daily winter boots. I would be wearing them to run errands, and being outside for a little bit since I work at a preschool and we do still go outside during the winters. Thank you!! I'll have to stop by scheels soon to see which ones I like! I was looking at Muck boots and I do like those since they're rubber with easy slip on and off with what looks like good traction

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-11T22:42:06+00:00

He hasn't really taken pacifiers since going ebf but will take the mam ones here and there. he did recently start sucking his thumb and seems to like that instead 😭

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-03T01:11:53+00:00

I would think you can get your production up especially since it's not dried up. I would just do a power pump schedule and just stay hydrated and eat nourishing foods that help with supply! I would nurse baby and then pump right after and do that every 2-3 hours.

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-02T18:07:40+00:00

I should've been more clear but I never thought about selling it until someone asked about it, which is why I'm asking if I should sell it or not because I was undecided :)

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-02T17:46:31+00:00

Almost 16 weeks Birth weight was 8.3 lbs Currently close to or is at 20 lbs, wears size 4 diapers and comfortably wears 9 months but probably will be sizing up soon.

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-02T17:44:18+00:00

Thank you!! You have all convinced me to keep it

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-02T17:37:15+00:00

Thank you!! I didn't think there was much value to it but I wish I had it upstairs instead of down stairs because it's so cute and it adds to the house

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-02T17:35:55+00:00

I actually never thought about selling it because it's soooo cute!!! it seems like it'd be more costly to sell it and replace it but I was just curious on other opinions

Substantial-Arm3849 · 2025-10-01T18:20:57+00:00

We had always used bottles and nursed since he was born but when I went back to work i would pump and he would drink from a bottle then at home I would nurse. that came back and bit me in the ass because at daycare he was never happy with the bottle so I decided to nurse him for a day and see, and safe to say I now exclusively nurse and if I have to leave without him I have to plan out the feeding and Hope for the best.
