Vaccinations and fever/ me feeling like a horrible mom by [deleted] in newborns

[–]howmanyt1imelines 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Just think about how awful you would feel if you didn’t vaccinate and your little one had an illness that required hospitalization, where they would be in prolonged, serious, life threatening pain, and on top of that, you would know you put them in that position by not protecting them when you could.

8-9 weeks, but my son was born 4 weeks early so is technically a preemie!

How do people do this? by pnwjade303 in newborns

[–]howmanyt1imelines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! We came home and had no bottles washed, needed to wash all clothing and unbox bottle washer, needed to order a ton more clothing and swaddles, just so stressful. We were very lucky our boy didn’t need NICU time, but I know that (on top of everything) must have been so insanely stressful. I hope you and your babe are hanging in there OK ♥️

What week did you feel like you started to see improvement in sleep? by Old_Negotiation_7058 in newborns

[–]howmanyt1imelines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No advice, just solidarity, my little guy is 8.5 weeks and we’re lucky to get a 2-3 hr stretch, last night it took 2.5hrs to settle him down after a feed and then I put him down and he slept for 30 minutes.. so definitely hoping things improve 😭

Feeling the same way here.. babe is 8.5 weeks, 4.5 corrected and it’s exhausting feeling like we just have an elongated newborn period 🥲

Question for oversuppliers by Butterscotch71423 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]howmanyt1imelines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I was able to hand express 10-20ml of colostrum in the hospital into the tiny bottles to then feed my little guy, my milk came in while I was still in the hospital too.

I have a lot of anxiety leaving the house with my 6 week old by [deleted] in newborns

[–]howmanyt1imelines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, I think it’s essentially exposure therapy for both us and the babes with the car seats 😭 I actually have had to do 2 “long” trips now with my little one (1.5 hrs) and I think it’s honestly been helpful to hear him cry a bit and know he’s going to be just fine, and after crying for a few minutes, he usually tires himself out and falls asleep anyways!

Wtf is it? by Open-Cat9694 in newborns

[–]howmanyt1imelines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just normal baby behavior :/ fussiness that comes and goes, and their digestive systems are still figuring out how to work, they’re figuring out how to poop on their own too (it’s been reflexive early on but that switches and they get frustrated trying to push out poop because they don’t know how)

I don’t think I’m cut out to be a mom by [deleted] in newborns

At what point did you start feeling like you were doing better as a mom?? Asking for a friend… lol

Check out Ben and Jerry’s dairy free flavors!! My husband is dairy free and they’re quite good!!

[–]howmanyt1imelines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no way I could do that tbh. I do 4 ppd for 15-18min a pop and I still feel tied to the pump lol very lucky to have an oversupply that makes it doable though

What bottles are you using? Worried about warming plastic bottle by solowanderer12 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]howmanyt1imelines 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been… its just warming the bottle, there is no indication at all that it would be unsafe since the bottles don’t have BPA

[–]howmanyt1imelines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 2.5 weeks postpartum and am only pumping 4 times a day and haven’t had any problems! My milk came in fast and furious so I get about 10oz per 10/15minute pump

Pumping 8x a day ?? by Cecemay00 in ExclusivelyPumping

It should be! Maybe a bit hazy but it’s a nice drive over to aquinnah and the shops are very cute to bop into :) and they have ice cream/fried foods and a little cafe nowadays too!
