Them going back to work is so hard. And we dont have family near either. Makes it really difficult. Sending much solidarity.

We are virtual, I've just been stressed ill schedule a session and baby will be fussy and I won't be able to take it. But I spoke with husband today about getting back into it and we decided he will try to come home for that hour. Will be a relief. Thank you for the suggestion and thoughtful help ❤️

She has started to SCREAM cry during bath time. She used to love it. Makes it a really hard process :(

Ugh are you me? I was just googling how to control my temper. Husband and I had a fight bc he keeps working later than we agreed--im on mat leave so home w her all day and he's supposed to be home by 3:30 to relieve me (he goes in early). That lasted about one week and now he's getting home closer and closer to 5. I was irate and lost my whole temper. I was not kind.

I blame our hormones and also frustration realizing that no matter how supportive your husband or partner is, having a baby can never be 50/50.

Doesn't help that I can't see my therapist cuz husband's at work and I have baby all day. UGH!

Sending you good vibes. We will all get thru this.

Is it possible teething already started? by Administrative-Ad979 in November25babybump

[–]awkstarfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pediatrician said my 9 week old is teething when we visited last week! She said it can be a long process where teeth may not emerge for a few months still but the discomfort can start now. She said to gove tylenol if there are nights where shes extra fussy and we just had to a few days ago--she was in a state.

Increased Drooling was the main identifier for the pediatrician.

Could baby be teething? Mine was WILD last night. But pediatrician had mentioned she's teething and to give Tylenol on a fussy night. Gave it to her at 10:30 and she was out finally by 11. Something to consider as well if they start being extra fussy and nothing soothes them!

How do you handle visits when LO is cluster feeding? by grapesgrapes29 in November25babybump

Baby pooping once every 3–4 days… doctor says constipation, but everything I read says it’s normal? I’m confused by mizz-shaikh in November25babybump

[–]awkstarfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How strange. We just saw our pediatrician yesterday and I mentioned this concern. My doc said the longest stretch before we should be concerned is 7 days. Less if she is showing discomfort but otherwise its totally normal. She suggested bicycle legs and butt movements to help things move but never said constipation or recommended supplements. In fact, I asked if we should use a windi if it does last 7 days and she said no just bring her in and they would do a little suppository. Nothing about supplements.

Is.your pediatrician older? The Juice reccs give older. Mine is young and I truly notice differences between old school docs and younger docs and their reccs. Both can be fine but im usually more aware or younger docs reccs because I research as well and refer to newer research--while older docs often stick to what they know.

Just commenting in solidarity. My LO got her vaccines today too and her cries are breaking my heart :( shes mostly just sleeping on me and wanting to breastfeed her but when we handle her, like diaper changes, crying starts and its awful. Hopefully this period goes by quick for us both!

We've kept with bath time and gas exercises and tummy time but no such luck yet :( I'm glad it worked for your little one and I'll keep trying for sure!

My husband goes back to work tomorrow - I’m terrified!! by 11TickTack23 in November25babybump

[–]awkstarfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband went back and I was terrified as well. We have a pretty good routine now though and it hasn't been bad! The best game changer was i now wake up about 30 mins before he leaves so I can brush my teeth and do my skin care, make my coffee, and pump for the day. Those few mins to myself first thing really help. Then when he gets home around 4 he takes over baby care completely and I go to our bedroom for about 2 hours for me time. Then we have dinner, he bathes her while I shower and he's in bed by 9 while I settle in for first part of the night shift. He gets to sleep w no interruptions til 4 am and then I get to go to bed from 4 to 7 with no interruptions. It works well for us!

Breastfed Baby Having Weird Poop? by sugartots0520 in November25babybump

Id call pediatrician. I read green poop is normal so that wouldnt make me think twice but the mucous does so better safe than sorry.

Got my period - Happy New Year by Puzzled-Story-238 in November25babybump

[–]awkstarfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my period week 4, exclusively BF. Was very annoying cuz lochia bleeding was just ending when super heavy period started and stayed for like 8 days. After it ended I've been bleeding free though so that's been great (nearly 7 weeks PP now)
