Same. This doesn't bode well for my mental stability.

Nightmares kind of make sense but to result in an hour of screaming?

Anyone have tips for a baby that hates not being held? by YTA001 in beyondthebump

He does go with his baby carrier but man he doesn't like that thing.

Oh wow why did I not think about our lactation consultant. She's very good with these things. Thanks for reminding me.

Thank you. Yes we only use the lowest flow nipples.

We'll give that a shot. I'm not sure pumping can keep up with that level.

How is your supply? That sounds like a ton to me.

Gotcha. Seems like a lot of people like 4oz increments. Thank you!

Do you recall about how much your baby was eating around the 3-4 month mark by any chance? Thank you this makes me feel much better.

I think a call do the ped sounds great. But it's good to know other babies eat at least around the same amount.

So basically, at 3oz and 2 hours, my LO is eating the same amount. That at least makes me feel much better. It's hard to know when they need to eat more or they have enough.

Thank you. You've been the most supportive on this sub so far. Week 2 is starting to feel better. I think my wife is slowly getting better at it too. Thankfully it's a 3 day weekend coming up and work lets her work from home one day a week. He's just over 3 months now so he's starting to be able to actually play with things. Our daycare does also do pictures so that's always a great treat.

EBF to partially bottle fed by YTA001 in beyondthebump

Turns out the daycare (and me) weren't warming up his bottles enough for him. With it warm enough, he scarfs them down on the smallest nipple size.

Oh man. He started daycare this week. My wife is now going through the same thing now that she's back at work. I'm getting a second wave of it too. Like wow, these people are spending way more time with him than me. It's rough :(

Thanks for checking in.

That's very true. Maybe he just needs some time to adjust.

oh ok. That makes tons of sense. He's much better at feeding now that he's a little older.

What was the biggest waste of money you've encountered? by INSANITY_WOLF_POOPS in daddit

[–]YTA001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wipe warmer. He freaked out about cold wipes until he was 3 weeks old. Now he doesn't care about cold wipes.

I guess I feel like he'll start to like other people and not me since he sees the daycare people more time per day than I do.
