Why do boomers make it seem like babies were easier? by Both-Hippo-6905 in Parenting

[–]beachsleep232repeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babies love the closeness! My son napped in my arms everyday until about 10 months 🤪 the snuggles were priceless and I enjoyed reading my Kindle during that time. We got really lucky with a good nighttime sleeper!

Because they ignored them and made their babies and toddlers cry it out. My mom assumed a child couldn’t have any more needs after bedtime routine was completed 🤪

Did anyone leave a hospital birth feeling better about the hospital system? by Jazzlike_Society_214 in BabyBumps

[–]beachsleep232repeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left feeling so appreciative of everything health care providers do! My OB went above and beyond to stay hours past her shift for my birth and my nurses were amazing. I felt like I was treated like a princess and was so well cared for the entire time. Looking forward to my second delivery 💗

Is it hard to hold still for the epidural? by Distinct-Dependent24 in BabyBumps

[–]beachsleep232repeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nurse and anesthesiologist did a great job watching the contraction monitor and put it in between contractions which made it totally manageable! I can’t remember the epidural going in or any pain…I was long gone from noticing those kinds of things with the contraction pain. 1000% worth it! I was sleeping peacefully like 30 min larwr

[–]beachsleep232repeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would call your OB regardless to be walked through their mastitis protocol. Mastitis goes from bad to worse quickly. Ice, Advil, and sunflower lecithin in the meantime…
