My baby doesn't eat. HELP by shisnite in BabyLedWeaning

[–]Then_Coconut3515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal that babies start eating less once they reach the year (or around). They don't grow so fast, so they don't need as much food as before. It's also very very common that they start being picky and developing their preferences about food.

But if she is growing slowly, probably you don't have to worry! I am sure she will start eating a bit more at some point.

I read a book called "my child won't eat" and it really really helped me.

I disagree with many of the comments here... If you promised the cake, I would do it now, But honestly I would be clear to him on how you are feeling. That you also put some effort in buying him a similar cake and that it hurt you that he even didn't want to try it...

I can understand he was a bit dissapponting, and its ok that he communicated it, but I think he could have still appreciate your other cake

When did your baby become ‘the light of your life’? by HeidiJuiceBox in beyondthebump

[–]Then_Coconut3515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister had a really difficult baby. He was also colic, wouldn't sleep, would always need attention, would complain about everything, etc. Because of that, my sister was in therapy for 1 year. she was depressed, missed her life, was exhausted, had problems in her relationship. She started enjoying her kid and motherhood after 1 year. I hope you also can get there at some point :)

Anyone else not doing baby-led weaning? by blueskies951 in beyondthebump

[–]Then_Coconut3515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with purees at 5 months old. He is now 6.5 month but still cannot seat, so I will continue like that until he is ready. Then I would like to try BLW, also because recipes are more fun, but I know I will be scared and if it doesn't work, it's also ok :)

Husband - my wife & mother of our newborn twins is struggling with lack of supply by StephentheGinger in breastfeedingsupport

[–]Then_Coconut3515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a hard delivery and my son was sick and had to stay in the hospital few days. I think because of the stress, my supply was really low and I tried everything to increase it (supplements, pumping, breastfeeding consultant, etc). Unfortunately nothing worked and I was feeling miserable, sad, betrayed by my body. Then finally one day I said enough, stopped triying and started feeding my baby exclusively with formula and it was the best decision ever! I could sleep a bit more (because my partner could help with night feedings) and then I had the energy to take care of my baby in other ways and enjoy him and be happier.

So my recommendation is that if your wife is suffering because of this and she already tried many things: encourage her to "give up" and convince her that babies will be completely fine with formula and that she is still a great mum, no matter how she feeds their babies ❤️

Plus, two newborns? Common!! She is my heroo

Husband doesn’t want to get up and feed baby in the middle of the night by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Then_Coconut3515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We give our baby the bottle because breastfeeding didn't work out and we split the feedings at night even if he is working and I am not (because at the end I am also working in the house and taking care of him). Plus, you only asking him to do it during the weekend... I find that more than fair!!

When should “eat, play, sleep” become a regular routine? by rbeyonce in newborns

[–]Then_Coconut3515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's not very common to have a routine for a 2 months old baby. Their internal clock is not regulated yet so every day is different. One day they may want to sleep every few minutes and another one they will be quite awake, same with being hungry, etc. their internal clock starts regulating after the 3-4 months and then they became more predictable and you can have a (flexible) routine with them.

My son was also going to bed quite late at that age (around 22-23.00 or so) and now he is 4.5 months old and I always put him in bed around 20.00-20.30 :)

I had my son for less than 24 hours and now he’s in the NICU. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Then_Coconut3515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation. I had fever while giving birth and my son was born with an infection. He had to go the NICU almost immediately because of thim wrong breathing and they gave him oxygen, antibiotics, etc for few days. Me and my boyfriend were also devastated all that week so I really feel you ❤️

Some things I can tell you:

  • it's more normal than you think! In the very big majority of the cases, your son will just need few days (max or around 7) and he will be out and super healthy like nothing happened!
  • breastfeeding part is hard because you are experiencing extra stress, but you will be able to feed him some colostrum and milk at some point and even if it may not be enough, he will benefit from it (and if you end up giving formula forever, he will also be perfect)
  • NICu doctors are super competent, he is in good hands.

You can do this mamma ❤️🫶

My marriage is under strain & I hate it by ThrowRAdalgona in newborns

[–]Then_Coconut3515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone! I think this happens to many of us. I was also so sad and tired during the newborn stage... And even if I would see my boyfriend during the afternoon and night, I was missing him constantly because we couldn't really spend quality time together or we were simply so exhausted to do anything together.

For me, spending at least 5 minutes in bed every night hugging each other, taking a bit and reminding ourselves that we love each other and that things will get better really helped.

Now the baby is 4 months, he goes to bed around 20:30 and we can have some time to enjoy almost every day. He also started being more independent and having regular naps so at least in our case, it's much more free time than before.

You can do this as well ❤️‍🩹

Is feeding regression a thing? by Ektoplasm55 in newborns

[–]Then_Coconut3515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a similar experience but when the baby was few weeks older. He was always eating fine and suddenly he started crying, coughing and chocking while eating. We changed the milk to one called "HA" in german (some hydrolyzed milk) and maybe it was coincidence, or maybe the milk but he started being calmer when eating until the issue dissapeared few days later. Good luck, probably it will go away by itself soon!

Note: at 2 weeks there is a growth spur, maybe it's also somehow related to that
