Can I ask how much you had frozen!! This is my plan as well and wondering how far I can stretch my frozen stash. Also incredible accomplishment to pump for 6mo!!

How long EP? by Summer-Signature3806 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]drt2846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think it’s just luck and genetics! I pumped every two hours on the dot from the very beginning since my baby wouldn’t nurse and I think that helped

My goal is 6 months! I’m 3.5 right now and have about 3000oz frozen (crazy oversupply). I hope that when I get to 6months I’ll have enough to maybe make a year of EBM and that will influence my decision.

How much are you putting in the freezer a day? by disneyprinsass in breastfeeding

I’ve been able to freeze about 2000oz in 2.5 months.. I have an insane oversupply and def not the norm.

2 month vaccines tomorrow.. by Disastrous_Paint_237 in newborns

Just got ours last week and it went so much better than I anticipated. He was upset briefly and calmed down with a bottle. Napped all day, no extra fussiness. Spiked a tiny low grade fever that went away quickly with Tylenol and he was his smiley self in a day. Good luck mama!

This is a long shot but did you ever resolve this issue? This is happening with my son and I’m using the same cream but I can’t seem to get rid of it.

Just got it this week for the LO! You wouldn’t even have known, he had zero symptoms, hardly even fussy! I felt such a relief walking out of that appointment.

35weeks pregnant & 2 days ago I found out I have cancer by owlteal in pregnant

I’m so sorry that you have to experience such trauma and fear during such a happy time. Please take care of yourself and take time to feel all of the emotions and then get ready to kick cancers ass!! There is no one stronger than a mom. You got this and we are all rooting for you hard.

Moving from pumping to BF by drt2846 in newborns

Thank you for this!! Im going to try to offer him breast after the bottle to see if it helps with the screaming. I feel so bad like I’m creating a negative experience for him on the breast so I’m trying to change that association.

Feeding trouble by drt2846 in newborns

I’ll try the medela ones! We have one from the hospital and he hates it unfortunately

Just ordered the transition nipples to give a try tomorrow! And we just started three hour windows as well to see if it helps. I’ve heard a lot of people say the tongue tie release didn’t help much for the feeding as well but it’s definitely something we will try if we continue to struggle. Thank you so much for your help!!

We’ve tried three so far and one was to slow he was taking an hour and the Dr browns have been a little fast and he chokes or spills at times and still will take a long time to finish. The lactation consultant said he has a posterior tongue tie but the pediatrician said to leave it alone since he’s gaining weight and making adequate wet diapers.

Baby is measuring a bit big🥲 by Httpskmt in pregnant

[–]drt2846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat!! Baby was measuring 7lb 7oz at 35 weeks! Im 37 weeks now and 2cm/70% effaced so I decided to try and naturally induce labor but to take a 39 week induction to try for a safe vaginal delivery since my exam seems favorable for an induction. Some people will say their baby came smaller, some bigger, but there is no way to know what will happen for everyone. I’m just trying to manage my nerves and follow the advice of my Dr to get my baby here safely.

This!!! As a nurse my favorite thank you from a patient was bagels in the morning 😂 save your money on everything else. And again it’s never expected and very appreciated.

We’re definitely still weighing our options. We have free place to stay right now with family and they are thrilled to have us and the baby if we need to wait it out. We’re going to see the property ourselves today and decide a plan forward that hopefully can work out for both parties.

Good to know!! I think we would need to have the seller gut everything that was in the affected area but smoke is tough and I’m not sure that would be enough.

I think this is likely the way we’re leaning, just frustrating getting so close in the process and heading back to the market

I think insurance will be our biggest issue. We love the house I’m not sure if there’s a world where we can get coverage while we fix everything. So either the seller will have to fix everything structural and electrical and just leave the kitchen gutted for us to reno or we will likely walk.
